There are many reports documenting Rosemary essential oil (rosemarinus officinalis) as being anti-oxidant, and also having a significant antibacterial and anti-viral potential against viruses, for example Covid and flu.
These properties have also been recognised by other industries such as the food industry, using rosemary as a natural preservative and the beauty industry in their skin care products.
Rosemary essential oil is also great for uplifting one's emotions, promoting positivity and self-belief. When you next pick a sprig of rosemary from the garden or buy some to use in the Sunday roast, have a good sniff, and see if you experience that zing of energy and uplifting of the mood 🙂
Rosemary essential oil must be used with caution though. It should not be used during pregnancy, or if diagnosed with high blood pressure or epilepsy. Always refer to a professional aromatherapist for the safe use of essential oils.
