Rosemary! (Read 3226 times)

Rosemary!

So I bought some rosemary essential oil last week - my very first.
I looove the smell and am quite excited to have it.
Anyhoo, I've had a recipe for a rosemary oiling treatment saved on my hard drive for ages, waiting for a chance to use it. However, the only other ingredient is olive oil, which is waaay to greasy. I only have a small vial of the rosemary, so I'm trying to conserve it and don't want to use up too much with experimentation. Does anyone have any good recommendations of how I could use it? Preferably something that doesn't include another type of oil, since I don't have anything else and probably won't until I get a job and some cash in my pocket
Thanks!

Hey Cairn,
Ooh, there's plenty you can do with Rosemary oil... For aromatherapy, it also has a stimulant effect (great when you're studying for a test) opposite to the way lavender can make you drowsy. Rosemary oil can also be applied to the ends of your hair, mixed in jojoba I guess... but since you don't have other oils handy besides olive, suppose you could dilute a very small amount in distilled water and make a spray or a hair rinse?

Put it in jojoba oil or any other carrier oil that you like

Use olive oil! Yes it will make your hair greasy so only do it when you know you aren't going to be seen. I did a scalp massage last night with about a table spoon of olive oil and four drops of rosemary - left it until this afternoon, washed my hair and wow! silky, smooth, shiny - just lovely! HOWEVER I did use an organic shampoo to wash my hair - I would'nt use a moisturizing shampoo after doing this as I don't think it would wash the oil out properly....

Thanks for the ideas!
Aphrodite, I tried exactly what you described when I first used it (even used an organic shampoo), and still ended up greasy.
I did a chamomile rinse last night and added a couple drops of rosemary; it smelled divine and worked well. I'll see what else I can do with it.

Another idea:
I put some distilled water into a mister bottle with a few drops of olive oil (you can omit this or use another oil) and a few drops of rosemary. It smells really great and you can mist it straight onto your hair

It's so weird how one thing works for some and not for others.... perhaps olive oil is just too much for your hair - it might be worth mixing rosemary with jojoba (that makes my hair scrunchy but lots of people love it) maybe that would be lighter and less greasy. ??? and do a scalp massage with that.... mixing rosemary with chamomile sounds nice - I might have to try that
keep experimenting
