Benefits of Rosemary, Sage and Lavender essential oils
Rosemary essential oil is a healing all-rounder. With its antiseptic, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties, rosemary essntial oil helps reduce stress levels and nervous tension, boosts mental activity, encourages clarity and insight, relieves fatigue, and supports respiratory function.
Rosemary essential oil’s tonic properties stimulate hair follicles to lengthen and strengthen hair while slowing the graying of hair, preventing hair loss, and moisturising dry scalp to relieve dandruff.
Sage essential oil, not to be confused with clary sage oil as both have different properties, is steam distilled from the leaves of the Salvia officinalis herb, also referred to as Common Sage, True Sage, Garden Sage, and Dalmatian Sage. Sage essential oil is known to help soothe discomforts of the digestive, respiratory, and female reproductive systems.
Sage essential oil boosts circulation, and with its anti-spasmodic properties, sage essential oil effectively addresses spasms, such as those associated with coughs, chest and stomach pain, and cramps. Used diluted in a carrier oil as a hair oil, sage essential oil conditions and moisturises both hair and scalp, and soothes irritation caused by dandruff by cleansing the scalp.
Lavender essential oil is typically used for its relaxing effects on the body. Lavender essential oil also works as a skin soother and moisturises chapped skin. Its anti-septic and anti-fungal properties may help to reduce itching and swelling caused by insect bites. With its anti-microbial properties, it also provides soothing relief to minor burns and cuts, while eliminating bacteria from the wound.
