Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. For October this year, we will be focusing on a beloved, herbaceous oil that is probably familiar to you. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in October! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use!

Rosemary has an earthy, sweet, herbaceous scent that is familiar to many of us, but most aren’t aware of all the amazing benefits of this oil! Inhaling rosemary essential oil can help overcome mental fatigue, improve mental clarity and focus, ease anxiety and enhance analytic ability. Rosemary is also a key player in our beloved Thieves blend (based on the ‘Four Thieves Vinegar’) and has been burned for centuries as incense to ward off sickness. Rosemary is highly supportive of the immune, respiratory and cardiovascular systems and is often used to support healthy blood pressure.
