Rosemary oil: miraculous for your hair (and more!)

Rosemary is a shrub with purple, blue-white or white flowers, pleasant fragrance and a slightly bitter taste. It has been known since antiquity for its beneficial properties, while it was an integral element of the Greek and Roman diet. Nowadays, its tender stems and leaves are used in cooking due to their aromatic properties, while rosemary oil (extracted by cold pressing) is a fine, natural cosmetic oil with highly beneficial properties.

First, rosemary oil is ideal for hair care, since:
