Rosemary ct. Camphor (Rosmarinus officinalis) Essential Oil

Distilled Part: Aerial part

Extraction: Steam distillation

Oil Characteristics: Aspect: Very mobile clear liquid. Colour: colourless to pale yellow. Odour: aromatic, herbal, fresh, camphorated.

Energetic and Emotional Effect: Rosemary oil is a psychic protector, particularly effective when used in the morning. The oil can also be used as a home protector. It is better to use it in the morning, because it acts as a stimulant and can cause insomnia. Rosemary stimulates the brain and mental activity. On a spiritual level, it can also help development of clairvoyance.

Culinary
There are 3 different kinds of rosemary: cineol rosemary, camphor rosemary and verbenone rosemary. Cineol-type is the most common. If it is not the type you have, prefer verbenone over camphor, which should be avoided in cooking.
