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.”

"The oil has a remarkable ability to regulate and balance overworked and tired livers, supporting the clearing of excretory ducts, thereby being a perfect means to start various aromatherapy treatments. A good blend to start cleansing treatments supporting digestion is composed of Rosemary verbenone, exotic Basil, a small proportion of Peppermint, and a little Anise Seed and Thyme linalool." (Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy)

Rosemary verbenone is a good lipolytic that one might reach for in the instance of excess cholesterol. Its esters and ketones support circulatory function.

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

Aromatheraphy Literature Notes
Kurt Schnaubelt, Ph.D wrote in The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils (p. 133) that 1-3 drops orally may help with digestion.

Antibacterial Activity and Anticancer Activity of Rosmarinus officinalis L. Essential Oil Compared to That of Its Main Components

"From the results above we could infer that the antibacterial and anticancer activities of Rosmarinus officinalis L. essential oil is the cooperative results of their components."

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. Tisserand/Young suggest 6.5% topical maximum for a whole body massage.

Children: For infants and children, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler

Internal: Rosemary ct verbenone is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. Tisserand suggests that the daily adult oral maximum should be 192mg (about 6 drops). 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" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application. Click here for information about internal usage.

1. I used the Rosemary ct. verbenone for the 2nd day in a diffuser in my Mom's room and what a change. My Mom has dementia and didn't know her room or my name. Praise God! I asked her today who I was, and she said, "Of course, you're Rita, and my daughter." You have no idea how happy that made me feel. She is more alert, but seems anxious, so I am adding Peaceful to my order. Thank you so much :) - Rita

2. I have struggled on and off for years with nausea. I recently discovered taking a few "whiffs," from the bottle of Rosemary ct verbenone brings instant relief. It just sweeps it away! Nothing else I have tried has ever helped as quickly. I love the smell! It is fresh, uplifting and invigorating but not over powering as the herb can be. When applied to the wrists and temples, it also eases migraine headaches. - Emily

3. I found the essential oil that puts a fast stop to eczema on my face! Rosemary ct verbenone! The usual pattern has been that when cold weather arrives, so does the flaky skin and redness. Rosemary was handy, so I put some on at bedtime and then a time or two during the day, and my skin healed in just a few days and has been fine for weeks now. If it threatens again, I sure will remember Rosemary.—Donna in MO

4. I have been shampooing with a drop of Rosemary added for several months now and my hair is much thicker. - Mary Lou

5. I am 79 years old and began losing quite a bit of my hair several years ago. I began applying Hopewell's Rosemary oil with a little water in a roll-on applicator bottle to my scalp every night, and in about a month my hairbrush had SO much less hair in it after brushing my hair. I previously had to use hair gel daily to style my hair, but now I use it very infrequently because my hair isn't so thin anymore. - Kalinda

Safety
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."

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.
