Rosemary

Description

Ah Rosemary! That’s for remembrance! (Shakespeare). Yes, aroma-therapeutically, the rosemary salve enhances memory and mental stamina. A scientific study found that the antioxidants in rosemary can alter the course of age-related cognitive decline! The lotion is excellent also in these ways: for extremely dry or troubled skin issues, insect control, scalp and dandruff. Always for wounds. Headache resolution.

I prepare the rosemary variety without almond oil for those with allergy to almonds. It is made instead with organic flax seed oil. 

Both flaxseed and rosemary oil are considered very helpful for encouraging hair growth. Flaxseed oil helps maintain moisture content in the hair, keeping it lustrous. This salve can possibly – between washes – reverse premature graying. (This is because of the antioxidant and fatty acid qualities.) Flaxseed oil is also touted as a benefit for chronic skin conditions including acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis – helping in skin repair.

Rosemary has natural antiseptic properties, and renders the salve a great disinfectant. Driving? Tuck some of the rosemary salve inside a nostril or two. Helps keep you alert! Rosemary helps with breathing & sleeping issues. (But it is a stimulant! It keeps the breathing passageways open so as to allow sleep, also can encourage deep sleep to occur sooner.)

And of course the calendula tincture within and the turmeric oil are anti-inflammatory and antiseptic.

“I really love the rosemary because of its decongestant quality. A friend staying with me from Germany began using it, so it’s gone international!” – Patricia

“All of your salves that I’ve tried are wonderful, but the rosemary salve is my favorite. I have been using it for several years now. I’ve used it for everything from healing cuts and scrapes to bee stings (which I get a lot since I am a beekeeper). I’ve used it for skin infections and heat rash. I’m also a runner and the salve helps prevent and soothe chaffing. I pretty much use it for everything and love it. Thank you for doing what you do.” – Lucy
