7 Rosemary Essential Oil Uses, Benefits and Recipes

Rosemary has always been a staple when it comes to creating a savory meal for Sunday dinners. Many people love the warm scent that gently wafts out of the spice container, so why not try incorporating some rosemary essential oil into your daily routine? Rosemary essential oil is a great option for helping you to generate more focus and mental clarity in your routine.

If you’ve been on the fence about which essential oils are necessary for your collection, you’ll want to take a closer look at what rosemary can do. You may just find your new favorite oil for a host of home remedies.

 

1. Diffuse rosemary to help you Study

Do you have a big exam coming up tomorrow but you haven’t started studying yet? Rosemary essential oil can help you to stay focused during those nighttime cramming sessions. You’ll experience increased mental clarity that may help you to process and retain more information. Simply add a few drops of rosemary oil into the diffuser and enjoy the aromatherapy while you study.

If you think you may need a little extra help on test day, you can put a couple drops of the oil on the pulse point of your wrist. This will allow you to experience the wonderful aromatic scent and increase your focus during the exam.

 

2. Take a rosemary infused bath to Unwind

Because of its grounding properties, rosemary essential oil can be used to help you unwind at the end of a long workday. This essential oil is well known for its mood-boosting properties, particularly when it comes to relieving signs of anxiety and depression. Consider surrounding yourself with this herbaceous aroma at the end of a particularly challenging day.

Fill up your garden tub with luxurious warm water and swirl in five to ten drops of rosemary essential oil. The aroma will quickly fill the room and leave you feeling completely at ease. You may even consider adding a cup of Epsom salt to your bath if you’re in need of a little more physical relaxation.

 

3. Add it to your shampoo for thicker Hair

Not only is the scent of rosemary oil heavenly, but it can also help you to cultivate a head full of thick hair. You can add ten to fifteen drops of rosemary oil into your current shampoo or conditioner to make your hair appear thicker and healthier.

Alternatively, you may want to mix rosemary essential oil with a carrier oil for a scalp massage. Coconut and jojoba oil are excellent choices to help nourish and moisturize your hair simultaneously. Add three to five drops of rosemary oil per tablespoon of carrier oil and massage gently before rinsing with warm water. This is a great way to promote relaxation at the end of a long day.

 

4. Relieve Headaches

Rosemary essential oil can help alleviate a rough headache that leaves you feeling down. Diffusing it in the area where you’re sitting is an excellent way to utilize its warm scent, but you may also consider applying it neatly to the area affected by the headache. Make sure that your skin isn’t sensitive to the oil before applying it generously.

For some individuals, aromatherapy is the best solution for their headaches, but a diffuser isn’t quite strong enough. You may want to consider placing a drop or two on your hands or wrist. Bring that area close to your nose and inhale deeply for a couple of minutes. This offers a much stronger version of aromatherapy than a diffuser can provide when dealing with an intense headache.

 

5. Reduce Swelling from Sprains and other injuries

Rosemary essential oil is naturally anti-inflammatory, which makes it a great solution for stubborn swelling. When you have a sprain or any other type of muscle and joint pain, consider massaging a little rosemary oil into the affected area. Rub very gently, just enough to allow the oil to coat the skin and soak in.

This simple remedy can even be used to alleviate the tenderness and soreness associated with arthritis. It can help to reduce some of the swelling around sore joints and relieve more painful symptoms.

 

6. Ward off Colds and Coughs

One of the most significant benefits of rosemary oil is its ability to boost your immune system and relieve symptoms from the common cold. Diffusing rosemary oil and applying it daily are two common ways to take advantage of its immune-boosting properties. However, you can also concoct your own chest rub to relieve the more annoying symptoms of a harsh cough or sinus congestion.

Using a teaspoon of your favorite carrier oil, add two drops of rosemary, two drops of peppermint, and two drops of lavender. Mix the ingredients well and rub onto your chest, as well as the bottom of your feet. Within minutes, you should be able to feel your chest muscles relax so you can finally experience some relief.

 

7. Settle an Upset Stomach

Many people struggle with uncomfortable bloating and painful indigestion following a hearty meal. Instead of reaching for an antacid, consider searching for a bottle of rosemary essential oil instead. This essential oil is highly effective at regulating the digestive system which makes it great for relieving some of these extremely common problems. Some individuals find it helpful to rub a few drops of diluted rosemary essential oil onto the stomach to help with indigestion.
