Plant Description
A member of the mint family, Rosmarinus officinalis is a highly aromatic shrub that is most widely known for its use in traditional dishes like potatoes, stuffing, lamb, turkey, chicken, and more. Ancient people like the Egyptians, Romans, Hebrews, and Greeks considered rosemary to be sacred, and it was often used by healers in these early cultures. Native to Mediterranean areas, this fragrant plant produces leaves from which Rosemary essential oil is extracted.
Chemistry of Rosemary Oil
Main Chemical Components: 1,8-Cineole, a-pinene, camphor
Rosemary includes the chemical constituents 1,8 Cineole and alpha pinene, which are generally known for their renewing properties. The chemical makeup of Rosemary oil contributes to its ability to repel insects and to affect mood. Pinene and camphor are the monoterpenes responsible for Rosemary oil’s ability to deter insects. These chemicals are also what make Rosemary oil so stimulating—allowing it to have enhancing effects on mood. Much like the oil’s uses, the chemical profile of Rosemary oil is extremely diverse.
Oils that Blend Well with Rosemary Oil
The herbaceous, energizing aroma of Rosemary essential oil makes it the perfect companion for citrus oils like Wild Orange or Lemon. With a scent that resembles an herb garden, Rosemary oil also blends well with floral oils like Lavender or Jasmine. When you want a warm, woody scent, consider combining Rosemary oil with oils like Cedarwood and Frankincense.
