Aromatic Considerations
Rosemary, diffused, stimulates memory function and helps to organize the thought process.
Application
Rosemary can be diluted and applied anywhere on the body. It can be added to shampoo or conditioner to cover gray in darker hair colors.
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects
In emotional work using essential oils, often the influence of the oil is to create a haven of safety from which the person can relearn how to relate to their world. This is not the case with rosemary. Rosemary fosters an inquisitive spirit. Rosemary sends us out in all directions, looking for light and understanding. Understanding truth is energy in its essential form. Understanding ourselves and what is expected of us by heaven is the most important truth. This understanding is light, and light is knowledge. Rosemary balances heart function and energizes the solar plexus. Rosemary is specific for people who are usually vibrant, organized, industrious, and sensitive. They have become apathetic due to dwelling on perceived hurts or injustices. People needing rosemary rarely become imbalanced from stress or too much work; they thrive on work. Rosemary essential oil can send them on a quest to understand what happened and why. With understanding, or even just beginning to ask the questions that will lead to understanding, comes peace.
Physical Aspects
A glance at the list of physical and energy systems in the Affinity For section above gives you some idea of the wide range of action of this amazingly versatile essential oil. Every body system listed above impacts other body systems until rosemary's influence resonates throughout the entire system. We will detail just a few of rosemary's many therapeutic qualities here. Rosemary's action on the brain and nervous system makes it useful for loss of memory, learning difficulties, indecisiveness, and mental fatigue. The antiseptic action of rosemary oil is particularly strong for intestinal infections, colitis, flatulence, liver disorders, and respiratory complaints such as sinus congestion and bronchitis. Being antispasmodic and analgesic, rosemary is useful for arthritis, muscle pain and weakness,
and headaches. In the cardiovascular area, rosemary assists with arteriosclerosis, palpitations, poor circulation, migraine headaches, and low blood pressure.
