Rosemary, Nature's Powerhouse In A Balm

We usually think of Rosemary in connection with cooking and it is an amazing herb in many ways. Few realize how effective this herb is in topical cures. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins calcium, and iron it rejuvenates and stimulates deep into the skin when applied in a soothing cream, oil, or balm. Let’s explore the benefits of Rosemary to our skin.

Its astringent quality renders it perfect for lightening dark spots on the skin and generally improving the complexion.

Rosemary and Your Sagging Skin

Rosemary and it's Analgesic Properties

Sports injuries are greatly relieved when creams, balm, or oils containing Rosemary are rubbed in. Stronger than many over-the-counter-pain relievers, this little gem of nature is vastly underappreciated.

Insects and other blood-sucking critters like ticks do not like Rosemary. Since ticks and mosquitoes carry viruses and bacteria very harmful to humans it makes sense to discourage their presence on our skin.   

One study showed Rosemary to be superior to 11 other essential oils as the longest repellent of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which spread the Zika virus. A dilution of 12.5% rosemary oil repelled 100% of the mosquitoes for 90 minutes.

Rosemary, Circulation & Joint Inflammation

Tissue inflammation that leads to pain, swelling, and stiffness are eased with Rosemary. People with rheumatoid arthritis will benefit from 15-minute knee massages using a Rosemary oil blend three times weekly.
