Medicinal Uses of Rosemary
Rosemary is an astringent and antiseptic. It is great for digestion, and the circulatory and nervous systems, although large doses can be counterproductive and irritate the stomach or over-stimulate the heart. As with any herb, you need to be sure that using a rosemary herbal remedy is the right thing to do for you, as everyone reacts differently to herbal preparations.
Rosemary is rich in antioxidants and has traditionally been used to ease asthma. Rosemary can also help with headaches, and to give you more mental focus and clarity. It is often used in shampoos and conditioners as it is great for your hair and it has been said that it slows hair loss.
Homemade Rosemary Hair Oil
Rosemary is reputed to improve the health of your hair folicles and to help stave off premature hair loss. It also darkens your hair over time and is often used in place of harsh hair dyes to gently darken gray hair. Here's a simple recipe for homemade rosemary hair oil:
Fill a mason jar with fresh rosemary leaves and cover the leaves completely with sweet almond oil or sesame oil. Let this mixture steep in a sunny window for four weeks, turning the jar a little each day. After one month, strain the mixture through a coffee filter or multiple layers of cheesecloth to remove the leaves. Decant the oil to a colored bottle and store in a cool dark place.
To Use:
Place a few tablespoons of rosemary oil in a small bowl. Warm the oil in the microwave, or by placing the small bowl into a larger bowl full of very hot water, until the oil is gently warmed. Work the oil into your hair with your fingers and cover with a shower cap. You could wrap a warm towel around your head to help the oil penetrate more easily. Leave on for 15 minutes to half an hour, then wash and rinse your hair as normal.
Rosemary Hair Rinse
Simply combine 1 cup of rosemary leaves with 5 cups of water and simmer for about half an hour. Let cool, strain out the leaves, and decant the rinse into a clean bottle. Use as a final hair rinse after shampooing to control oily hair and promote a healthy shine.
