This crisp and clean smelling essential oil is great for stimulating the brain, improving memory and mental. It is also used for improving hair and scalp.
Oil Properties: As mentioned before, rosemary is found in the Mediterranean region, and it grows as an evergreen plant that sometimes reaches 5-6 feet high. Seeing as how rosemary has traditionally grown around the Mediterranean area, it’s no surprise that it appears in both Roman and Greek mythology. In fact, Aphrodite was depicted as wearing rosemary when she was first born. In regards to the actual appearance of the oil, rosemary is basically colorless, while the scent is strong, fresh and citrusy. Essential Oil: Benefits, Uses & Properties
