Rosewood Essential Oil (Indian) - 100% Pure Natural

Widely known as a healing herb, Rosemary has become one of the world’s most popular medicinal and culinary plants. Native to the Mediterranean region, Rosemary is a perennial herb that belongs to the well-known mint family and is characterized by a strong, distinctive fragrance that is energizing, woody, and herbaceous. Thriving by the Mediterranean Sea, it derives its name from the Latin words ‘ros’ (dew) and ‘marinus’ (sea), meaning “dew of the sea”. An interesting legend has that when baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were fleeing Egypt, Mary placed her blue coat over a white-flowered Rosemary bush which changed the flowers from white to blue and ever since, in honor of the Virgin Mary, it is fondly called the ‘Rose of Mary’. The first mention of Rosemary dates back to 5000 BC, where it was found on cuneiform stone tablets. It also appears in the scriptures of ancient Greeks and Romans such as ‘De materia medica’, an influential book on herbal medicine written in 50-70AD by a Greek physician and pharmacologist Pedanius Dioscorides. It was introduced and naturalized in China as early as in 220AD, reached Britain during the 8th century, and later spread to the Americas with the help of early European settlers. As the popularity of the herb grew, the production of Rosemary Essential Oil spread across continents with Spain and Morocco leading the production. 

Since ancient times Rosemary Essential Oil was valued for its culinary, medicinal, and aromatic properties. During the mid-1300s, Rosemary was used to fight bubonic plague, and there is mention of grave-robbers who consumed a herbs concoction containing Rosemary, called ‘Four Thieves Vinegar,’ to protect themselves from the plague. In addition to being widely used as a food seasoning, Rosemary Essential Oil today finds applications in hair-care, beard-care, health & wellness, and aromatherapy owing to its anti-microbial, antiseptic, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
