Rosemary Oil Uses and Benefits

1. 1. The chemical makeup of Rosemary oil gives it renewing properties that can be both energizing and settling—particularly when you diffuse the oil.

In the essential oil diffuser of your choice, consider diffusing Rosemary while studying to help maintain concentration. As the renewing, green aroma of Rosemary oil wafts through the room, you’ll be able to focus on the task at hand.
   2. Possibly the most common application for the rosemary plant is in cooking. Fortunately, Rosemary can be used as a substitute in your favorite rosemary-infused dishes.
