Sometimes, our days blur together and we begin to feel a bit scattered. Perhaps you have to cram for a final exam, finish a project or simply stay alert through the day. Moroccan Rosemary is known as the “herb of remembrance” because of its ability to powerfully stimulate the mind.
Rosemary dates back to the Ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks who all considered it sacred. It was also widely used to cleanse the air and prevent sickness from spreading.
Native to the Mediterranean coastline, Rosemary is a shrub that grows up to 6 feet tall. Its name means “dew, sea” from the Latin words “ros” and “marinus” which refers to Rosemary sprouting along the sea. To extract the essential oil, the leaves, twigs and flowers are put through a steam distillation process. Several varieties of Rosemary are produced during the process and should be noted by their differences.
Edens Garden's pure, 100% natural Moroccan Rosemary essential oil contains no synthetic ingredients, fragrances, fillers or toxic chemicals. Our Moroccan Rosemary is ethically and sustainably sourced and GC/MS batch-tested to ensure its quality, safety and effectiveness.

- Anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that Rosemary essential oil may assist with gallstone prevention. However, studies have shown that a healthy diet of vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish and legumes can effectively prevent gallstones. Additionally, Rosemary oil can assist with symptoms of gallstone discomfort by providing minor pain relief, mood-boosting properties and antioxidant activity. To use Rosemary oil for this purpose, diffuse 10 drops per 100 ml of water in an essential oil diffuser. Alternatively, dilute Rosemary oil to 2% by combing 12 drops with 1 oz of carrier oil. Apply to pulse points.
- Animals such as dogs metabolize essential oils very differently than humans. And with a sense of smell 10,000 to 100,000 times more acute than humans, animals are more affected by essential oil diffusion than one might think. With that said, due to Rosemary essential oil’s many precautions toward dogs, we don’t recommend using this oil around your dog. If you’ve already used Rosemary essential oil around your dog and if you notice behavioral differences, such as whining, scratching or acting loopy, move your dog to fresh air and contact your veterinarian. If you wish to use Rosemary essential oil without affecting your dog, inhale it using an Essential Oil Inhaler and Mio Mist Diffuser or use it topically.
- Rosemary essential oil is made via steam distillation. In steam distillation, plant material is placed in a still, water is added, then heat is applied to the unit. As water heats, plants release their essential oil, the oil rises with steam droplets that are sucked into a pipe and the oil and water are then separated. While it may not be possible to make Rosemary essential oil at home, you can make aromatic hydrosol water that contains many of the same therapeutic benefits as essential oil. Learn how to make your own hydrosol on our blo.

Make a pre-wash hair oil serum with 6 drops Sandalwood, 3 drops Peppermint, 3 drops Rosemary Moroccan and 1 ounce Argan oil.
