Rosemary officinalis Chemotypes
- Rosemary ct 1,8 cineole is high in oxides. It's noted to be mucolytic, expectorant, antispasmodic, fungicidal, antibacterial and antiviral. It is traditionally used to ease lung congestion, to increase cerebral blood flow and to ease chronic inflammation.

- Rosemary ct verbenone is considered the more gentle chemotype, is non-irritanting and is excellent for skin care preparations. It is high in ketones with significant monoterpenes (a-pinene). It is noted to be an expectorant, anti-spasmodic and antibacterial. It is especially effective when thick mucus is present and is used for sinus and skin issues. Purchon/Cantele note that it is “hormone-balancing and regulates the endocrine system. It regulates the hypothalamus and is calming and lifts depression.”

Of the two chemotypes, ct verbenone is considered more gentle and suitable to use with children.

Safety Information

Aromatherapy Literature Notes and Articles:
In The Complete Aromatherapy and Essential Oils Handbook for Everyday Wellness, Nerys Pruchon and Lora Cantele note that Rosemary ct cineole "is a strong expectorant. It increases bile in the liver and stimulate the digestive system, helping to expel gas. It strengthens the heart and nerves and calms muscle spasms. It is antibacterial and mildly anesthetic."

Salvatore Battaglia notes in The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy that Rosemary ct cineole is supportive for "respiratory ailments such as bronchitis, asthma and sinusitis. It is also used to faciliate elimination from the liver and kidneys."

Some apply a scalp massage oil nightly and wrap their hair with a cotton turben or shower cap then wash their hair in the morning. Others might opt to apply and leave on for 15 minutes or more then wash the hair. There is not a right or wrong way to do this, so find a method that works for you. We'd love to hear feedback if you wish to share.

HEALTHY LIVING
AROMATHERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
by Lane Simonian History Instructor Western Nevada College

In the eighteenth century, John Hill wrote in the Family Herbal: "Sage will retard the rapid progress of decay that treads upon our heels so fast in latter years of life, will preserve faculty and memory more valuable to the rational mind than life itself."

Hill's comment reveals two somewhat remarkable facts: though Alzheimer's disease wasn't "discovered" until the early twentieth century, knowledge of dementia has existed for a very long time and secondly through centuries of observations Europeans (and others) knew that aromatic plants were useful in treating dementia.

Now scientific knowledge and historical observations have begun to merge, as we come to understand the chemical processes by which the essential oils used in aromatherapy help combat dementia. Specifically, essential oils prevent and partially reverse the damage done to memory by oxidants, most notably by peroxynitrites.

Peroxynitrites are the chief cause of memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease, as they prevent the formation of acetycholine, the main compound involved in memory retrieval. The chemicals in essential oils convert peroxynitrites into nitrogen dioxide and water. They also add hydrogen back to choline transport systems, muscarinic receptors (involved in the uptake of choline), and choline acetytransferases (the enzyme that puts acetylcholine together), thus increasing the production of acetylcholine and thereby partially reversing memory deficits.

Case studies of improvement in language skills, awareness, alertness, and short-term memory in Alzheimer's patients using aromatherapy are now being bolstered by a series of small-scale clinical trials. To quote from one of these trials: "In conclusion, we found aromatherapy an efficacious non-pharmacological therapy for dementia. Aromatherapy may have some potential for improving cognitive function, especially in AD patients" (Effect of aromatherapy on patients with Alzheimer's disease). In this trial, the essential oils used were ROSEMARY, LAVENDER, ORANGE and LEMON.

A review of clinical trials involving sage and lemon balm similarly concluded: "These herbal treatments may well provide effective and well-tolerated treatments for dementia, either alone, in combination, or as an adjunct to conventional treatments" (The psychopharmacology of European herbs with cognition- enhancing properties).

Historical observations, case studies, and clinical trials indicate that the chemicals contained in essential oils are surprisingly effective in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Perhaps, modern medicine despite its emphasis on expensive synthetic drugs with harmful side effects will one day come to the same conclusion that John Hill did more than two hundred years ago.

Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)
Topical: Dilute with a carrier oil, unscented lotion or unscented cream and apply on area of concern or as desired. Consider using a roll-on applicator for ease of application of prediluted oil.
16.5% dermal maximum for an adult.

We suggest that adults follow the General Guidelines found on the Dilution Chart, which is:

2-3% for daily application

Up to 16.5% for short-term use

Children: Do not apply on or near the face of infants or young children. While oils high in 1,8-cineole should not be applied "to or near the face of infants or children under ten years of age," Please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Tranquilizing Scalp Massage Formula
6 drops Rosalina
4 drops Spike Lavender
3 drops Rosemary ct cineole
2 drops Peppermint
1oz Grapeseed or Jojoba oil (1.5% dilution)

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler. Tisserand confirmed in his Safety Masterclass that oils high in 1,8-cineole are suitable to diffuse for all ages.

Internal: Rosemary ct cineole is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. We feel that internal use is rarely *needed* and should only be used with respect for how concentrated the oils are. HEO does not advocate internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective used topically with proper dilution or inhaled. Kurt Schnaubelt Ph.D. notes that "French aromatherapy literature contains many references to using oils orally." He goes on to note that "generally 1 drop is always enough when ingesting essential oils." A potential toxicity hazard could occur when untrained people use essential oils orally and ingest too much. Keep in mind that while medical doctors or health care practitioners may prescribe essential oils for internal use, they are trained and experienced in the safe application of essential oils. It is not a matter of using "French aromatherapy" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application. Click here for more information about internal usage.

(Genesis 1:29-30, Ezekiel 47:12)

1. After many years of dealing with shortness of breath (asthma), I believe that God has shown me what has been the significant factor. I realize that many times when I spent a lot of time on my laptop or even my cell phone, I would start having breathing difficulties. Even having a Himalayan salt lamp and a Defender Pad to shield myself from the radiation wasn't stopping the symptoms. Then I learned that Rosemary oil is good for detoxing the body from radiation. I apply HEO's Rosemary ct cineole apply over my lungs and liver area, and now I get IMMEDIATE results. Praise God! I am still believing to be delivered from this sensitivity, but I'm using the oils while I stand on His promise for healing (1Pet. 2:24). - Kathy

2. I’ve used Rosemary ct cineole oil for oral herpes simplex virus with great success. I apply it neat or diluted with Jojoba oil at the first sign of an outbreak, and the blister is gone within 24-48 hours. - Elizabeth

3. I passed out, hit my head on the tile floor and had a concussion from it. I am so amazed how well I’m doing. I used Balance, Rosemary ct cineole and Cypress to relieve head and neck pain. I apply to my neck 2 x daily and Rosemary to temples upon awaking. It’s been 2 weeks, and I’m doing very well. - Heather

4. I love to diffuse Rosemary ct cineole. Not only does it clear my mind, it is invigorating to my respiratory system. My tendency to get respiratory and sinus congestion vanished once I started diffusing this consistently. - Tina

5. A friend had a baby that was born with a birth "defect." The doctors said it could cause blindness and deafness by about 4 years of age and the life expectancy is about 17 years. One night I felt God speak to me in a dream that the baby needed Black Cumin oil. The next day I called Hopewell and spoke with Linda who mentioned possibly adding Rosemary to the Black Cumin oil and applying it on the child consistently. The mother used this combo faithfully and took it orally herself. The child is now 4.5 years old and is not blind or deaf. In fact, you cannot tell the child has a 'defect' at all! We give glory to God! - Debra

6. I ordered Rosemary ct. cineole for brain fog. Today I started breathing it with your inhaler tube. I was so tired, agitated, frustrated and discouraged about not getting enough sleep at night. After a few minutes of breathing the Rosemary I felt more clear minded and calmer. I am still tired but not panicky. I was worried about our trip to California, May - August visiting our son and his family and being there for our granddaughters high school graduation. But maybe the Rosemary will help. - Ginny

7. We've seen a pretty incredible thing happen with my daughter's skin. She had a bad case of eczema on the back of her knee. It hurt, itched and was close to cracking. The spot was about 3" diameter. I finally decided to start using essential oils. I'm not sure why I didn't do it more consistently from the beginning. I was just about to take her to the dermatologist. I looked up what oils to use and saw Rosemary and remembered buying a sample bottle of the Rosemary ct cineole, so I tried it. Within two days the eczema patch was decreased by maybe half or more. It's been about five days and it's almost completely gone. It's almost perfect again. - Susan

Safety
Due to the high 1,8-cineol content, do not apply on or near the face of an infant or children (Tisserand).

Rosemary is non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing. It is not recommended by some aromatherapists (Patricia Davis, Fischer-Rizzi, Lawless) for use during pregnancy or for those with epilepsy, although Kurt Schnaubelt, PhD in chemistry and founder and scientific directory of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy wrote that some of the oils designated as "forbidden use" are among the most therapeutically useful, and "even the safety of essential oils during pregnancy discussion seems to abate due to the stubborn absence of reports of any adverse effects." Schnaubelt goes on to say that "the much-feared potential of Rosemary oil to induce seizures has so far failed to throw all of Britain into a collective state of epilepsy." Tisserand does not mention Rosemary ct cineole on his "Potentially Convulsant Essential Oils" list.

Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
