You want to know the chemotype of the rosemary essential oil you are buying because different varieties (called chemotypes, or CTs) develop different chemical characteristics based on the altitude and temperature of where the plants are grown. At Inshanti, we carry three different rosemary oils—rosemary ct camphor, rosemary ct 1,8 cineole, and rosemary ct verbenone. Rosemary 1,8 cineole is your choice for fighting respiratory issues like colds and flu, bronchitis, and upper respiratory infections.

More Info

Rosemary is a small evergreen shrub with thick aromatic and linear leaves and is native to the Mediterranean region. The plant grows abundantly in the wild in Spain, France, Corsica, Italy, Sardinia and Tunisia, however, most of the oil is produced in Spain, France, and Tunisia.

There are three major varieties of rosemary, identified by their chemotypes (based on chemical characteristics) and their primary country association:

  • Camphor-borneol (Spain), effective for the circulatory system
  • 1,8 cineole (Tunisia), effective for the respiratory system
  • Verbonone (France), effective for the skin, hair, and liver

While all rosemary has chemical traits in common, each chemotype has a higher intensity of one chemical compound that makes it more suitable for specific health issues. Inshanti carries all three varieties so you can choose the chemotype to target your personal concerns.

The ancients used rosemary in place of the more costly incense in their religious ceremonies. It was customary to burn rosemary with juniper berries to purify the air and prevent infections. Rosemary was known to have a stimulating effect on the mind and to be useful as a memory aid. Consequently, the herb became known as a symbol of remembrance.

Rosemary has traditionally been used in skin and hair care. It is extensively used in hair care products as it is reputed to stimulate hair growth and prevent premature baldness. It is also used for the prevention of dandruff.

Until recently many French hospitals used rosemary to disinfect the air.
