What do you use Rosemary oil for?

The better question is what don’t you use Rosemary for? Infuse everything from your hair care routine to your homemade cleaners with this oil’s complex, robust, energizing aroma.

1. Make a hydrating hair mask.

Warm 2 tablespoons coconut oil and 1 tablespoon honey for about 15 seconds in the microwave. Add 3 drops Rosemary oil and mix together. Apply to the hair shaft, especially the ends, put on a shower cap, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse out the mask, then wash and dry hair as usual.

Ingredients:

• • Empty 10 ml roller bottle (a clean and empty Tranquil® or Deep Relief™ Roll-On container will do the trick)
  • 20 drops Peppermint essential oil
  • 20 drops M-Grain™ essential oil
  • 10 drops Rosemary essential oil
  • V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex

Instructions:

1. Add the essential oils to the clean and empty roller bottle.

2. Fill the remainder of the bottle with V-6.

YL tip: You can also make your head tension roll-on with a 5 or 15 ml empty essential oil bottle and a roller top. Follow our instructions for cleaning the bottle thoroughly and adjust the recipe to create the proper ratios of essential oils to carrier oil for the bottle size you are using. If you’re using a 5 ml bottle, subtract 5 oil drops from each of the ingredients above. Add 5 oil drops to each if you’re using a 15 ml bottle.

To use:

1. Tighten the lid and shake the bottle to mix the oils together.

2. Roll directly onto your temples, forehead, neck, and crown of your head at the first sign of tension. Avoid applying near your eyes.

3. Rub the oil in gently with your fingertips for a soothing massage.

According to the American Lung Association, the ingredients in some household cleaning products can cause health problems like headaches, irritation of the eyes and throat, respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and maybe even cancer.

Some product may release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These gases come from paint, air fresheners, gasoline, tobacco smoke, wood-burning stoves, and a handful of household cleaners and disinfectants. Research shows that some VOCs can irritate eyes, nose, and throat; create difficulty breathing and nausea; and cause harm to the central nervous system and other organs.

Products that can include VOCs and toxic substances include:*

• • Aerosol sprays
  • Oven and appliance cleaners
  • Air fresheners
  • Dishwashing liquid and detergent
  • Carpet and upholstery cleaners
  • Bleach

*This is not a complete list.

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients together to form a thick paste. Add more water or aloe vera, one teaspoon at a time, for a thinner consistency. The mask should be thin enough to spread but thick enough to stay in place.

To use

1. Use your fingers to apply the mask evenly to a clean, dry face.

2. Leave on for 10-15 minutes.

3. Rinse off, pat your face dry, and apply a light moisturizer.

For maximum results, use once a week in the evening and store in an airtight jar for up to one month.

YL tip: Do you have combination skin? Apply this mask to the oily sections of your face to avoid over-drying any dry patches. After you rinse it off, apply a thick moisturizer to any dry spots.
