This week I’m sharing with you an essential oil made from an herb that is always in my herb garden, doTERRA’s Rosemary! With an herbal, energizing aroma, this is the perfect oil to kick off the autumn season. Rosemary essential oil is useful for cooking, promoting healthy-looking hair, creating an energizing and refreshing atmosphere, and more.

Rosemary is an aromatic, evergreen shrub whose leaves are frequently used to flavor foods such as stuffings, pork, roast lamb, chicken, and turkey. Along with its culinary applications, Rosemary has many benefits. Rosemary supports healthy digestion* and internal organ function.* Long revered by experts, Rosemary was considered sacred by the ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Hebrew cultures. Rosemary’s herbaceous and energizing scent is frequently used in aromatherapy. 

Are you wondering how you can use Rosemary essential oil? While some think Rosemary is only useful for cooking, this herbal, energizing oil has uses that extend far beyond the kitchen. Keep reading over the rest of the week to learn lots of easy ways to use Rosemary essential oil. (But just so your taste buds won’t be disappointed, check out a previous blog post I shared featuring my easy focaccia bread HERE)

Scalp Buildup Cleanser

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
8 tablespoons water
8 drops Rosemary oil
6 drops Lemon oil
4 drops Grapefruit oil 

Combine all ingredients in a small glass bowl and stir. Comb the mix through dry hair. The acids in the mix help to remove oil, dirt, or sulfate buildup naturally. Allow the mix to sit on your hair for about 20 minutes, then rinse the hair in the shower and continue with your normal shampoo and conditioner routine.
