Banish Dandruff

Thanks to its anti-fungal properties, rosemary can be used as a gentle and effective dandruff treatment.

And it couldn’t be simpler – pour a few drops of the oil into your shampoo and massage in well.

It’s best not to use rosemary oil undiluted on your scalp as it may cause additional flaking.

Stimulate Hair Growth

Rosemary has been used for centuries, especially in the Mediterranean region, to stimulate hair growth.

One study of 84 people who had alopecia areata, which causes hair to fall out in patches, found that those who massaged their scalps with rosemary and other essential oils daily for seven months experienced significant hair regrowth compared to those who massaged their scalps without the essential oils.

Fade Stretch Marks

Rosemary essential oil is one of the best essential oils for removing stretch marks, especially when blended withcoconut oil which happens to be another amazing stretch mark remedy.

Massage over the marks regularly until they have faded.

Stress Relief

Simply adding some essential oil to an essential oil diffuser can be an instant stress buster for many. (If you don’t currently own an essential oil diffuser, then be sure to read this article revealing ten reasons you need one in your home.)

Rosemary oil can take that stress relief up a level – it’s incredibly potent!

A 2007 study showed that smelling rosemary oil actually decreased the levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, in the saliva. Excess cortisol can cause oxidative stress, weight gain, high blood pressure, cholesterol and heart disease.

Anxiety Relief

We’ve already shared 5 of the best essential oils for treating anxiety with you. Consider rosemary to be a bonus sixth oil.

A study published in Holistic Nursing Practice in 2009 found that the use of sachets containing lavender and rosemary essential oils helped reduce the anxiety associated with test-taking.

Graduate nursing students, who inhaled the scent of both lavender and rosemary oil before taking their nursing tests, found it significantly lowered their anxiety levels. They scored lower on anxiety measures, and had lower pulse rates, indicating a more relaxed state of mind.

Mental Clarity

If you’re a little overwhelmed, unsure, indecisive or confused, you may find that the soothing aroma of rosemary helps you clear your head.

Add it to an oil burner, essential oil diffuser, reed diffuser or simply rub some on your hands and cup over your mouth and nose for up to a minute.

Everything will seem so much clearer. You should also feel less tense and stressed.

Learning & Memory

A little rosemary oil may stop you needing to cram the night before a big test. In addition to lowering stress and anxiety, it has also been shown to positively enhance memory.

Increase Circulation

Rosemary oil is one of the easiest ways to improve circulation in the body.

If you’re experiencing muscle cramps, cold hands and feet or muscle soreness, then massage a little rosemary oil, mixed with a carrier oil, into these areas regularly.

Cure Headaches

Rosemary oil applied to the skin treats pain and improves circulation, meaning it might just relieve your migraine or throbbing headache.

Apply a drop topically to your temples or the aching parts of your head. You can also try rubbing it in your hands and cupping them over your mouth and nose for up to a minute.

If your headache is stress related, then by using rosemary you will be alleviating the root cause of the pain.
