Vegetable oleolites are a simple and effective alternative to the many cosmetic or care products we buy in the store. Through these preparations, which can be made at home, we can enjoy all the properties of medicinal and aromatic plants.

Rosemary oil has been used for thousands of years precisely because of its healing properties. It can stimulate blood circulation and promote hair growth, stopping hair loss. Its antiseptic and antibacterial properties also make it an excellent remedy against dandruff and dermatitis.

When used for massages, rosemary oil can relieve muscle and joint pain. It is also an excellent anti-aging serum that allows us to tone the skin, moisten it and prevent wrinkles.

Rosemary oil is also used in aromatherapy to relieve chronic fatigue, improve mood and memory.

To prepare rosemary oil, you need to use a transparent glass jar, with a wide mouth to be filled with dried or fresh rosemary. The flowers and twigs are filled with a carrier oil (preferably extra virgin olive oil, or sunflower or flax).

Use about 400 grams of dried rosemary, or 600 grams if fresh, for about 750 ml of oil. During the day, expose the pot in a sunny area, closing it tightly with sterile gauze secured with an elastic band. At night, however, close the jar tightly to prevent moisture from entering.

The pot should be left in the sun for a week, stirring daily. After a week, pour the rosemary oil into a dark glass jar, leaving it decoction in a place where it sunbathes for only half a day. It takes about a month to obtain the extraction of the active ingredients by the oil, after which it can be filtered and used on the skin.
