Rosemary Essential Oil - 10ml | Steam Distilled Flowering Tops

A 10ml essential oil steam distilled from the flowering tops of Rosmarinus officinalis in Tunisia - the part of the plant long considered to yield the finest quality oil - with a woody, herbal scent used in aromatherapy to refresh and focus the mind.

Rosemary's ceremonial history runs deep: strewn at weddings as a pledge of love and fidelity, carried at funerals as a token of remembrance, and reputedly prepared as 'Hungary water' - rosemary tops steeped in wine - for a queen said to have recovered her health through its use. That same tradition of remembrance and loyalty makes rosemary one of the more meaningfully placed herbs in protection and purification rituals, where its correspondence with clarity, memory and guardianship has been consistent across European folk practice for centuries.

Diluted in a carrier oil - almond, apricot kernel and hazelnut are traditional partners - it is used in hair and scalp massage, where rosemary has a long folk association with encouraging healthy growth and stimulating the scalp. Diffuse for mental clarity, focus work, or to mark the opening of ritual space. The scent is equally purposeful in a study as on an altar.
