There are a few different ways in which you can use rosemary oil. The best option for you will depend on the condition you’re trying to treat, as well as your own personal preferences.
Inhalation
Perhaps the most popular way to use rosemary oil is to inhale it. Simply open the bottle of oil and hold it under your face, allowing the aroma to reach your mouth and nose. You can also use a cloth or tissue to soak up some drops of rosemary oil and inhale it from there.
Inhalation of the rosemary essential oil is the best way to go if you’re trying to bolster your immune system.
Topical Application
Topical treatment is one that you rub on your skin. This is one of the best ways to use rosemary oil, especially if you have an inflammatory skin issue like psoriasis or eczema. Because you’re applying the oil directly to the area with the problem, it’s likely to be more effective than inhaling the fumes.
Those applying rosemary oil topically often use a spray bottle. By adding drops of rosemary oil to a diluting liquid of some kind, you can make the process of topical application much more efficient. You can also use it in massage oil.
Can you ingest rosemary oil?
Some people choose to mix rosemary oil in with their food, or drink small amounts of it. This is generally safe. However, drinking medium to large quantities of rosemary oil is not advised. It can cause issues with a number of different organs, including the stomach, kidneys, uterus, and skin.
You should note that this is usually only a risk with rosemary oil, not the raw plant. Because the active ingredients are present in much higher concentrations in the oil, the risk of having an adverse reaction after consumption increases dramatically. *
