Plant description

Rosemary is a perennial plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, growing up to about 1 meter tall. It boasts a robust fragrance, and its leaves exude a refreshing scent when touched. Their leaves are long, thin, green, and densely clustered, while the flowers present a delicate pale blue or pink hue. Thriving in arid conditions, rosemary is  resilient and can be found growing near water sources, even on beaches. The name “rosemary” is derived from the Latin term “ros marinus,” meaning “drop from the sea”, inspired by its coastal habitat and the color and shape of its flowers. Renowned for its antiseptic properties, Rosemary is not only cherished as a culinary spice but also highly valued in herbal medicine. Although native to Asia, Rosemary is predominantly found in the Mediterranean region today. The majority of Rosemary essential oil is produced in countries like France, Tunisia, and Yugoslavia.

Rosemary Camphor Essential Oil Properties & Uses

About 0.3-0.5% of Rosemary essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from its stems and leaves, and is colorless and clear in color. It is characterized by the presence of borneol, which imparts a subtly sweet, camphor-like aroma. Rosemary essential oil can be found in three main chemotypes: camphor-rich, cineole-rich, and verbenone-rich, each offering a unique fragrance profile. The camphor-rich variety, known as Rosemary Camphor, features a fragrance reminiscent of camphor, characterized by a deep greenish aroma with a slight hint of bitterness amid its freshness. When it comes to creating aromatic accords, it pairs well with basil, lavender, minty scents, lemongrass, and petitgrain, making it a versatile option for fragrance blending.

Rosemary Cineole Essential Oil Properties & Uses

About 0.3-0.5% of Rosemary essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from its stems and leaves, and is colorless and clear in color. It is characterized by the presence of borneol, which imparts a subtly sweet, camphor-like aroma. Rosemary essential oil can be found in three main chemotypes: camphor-rich, cineole-rich, and verbenone-rich, each offering a unique fragrance profile. The cineole-rich variety, known as Rosemary Cineole, provides an invigorating and crisply clean sensation, with subtle sweetness and a calming overall impression.Rosemary Cineole blends harmoniously with essential oils that possess a sweet and deep character, such as Cedarwood, Petitgrain, and Frankincense. When it comes to creating aromatic accords, it pairs well with basil, lavender, minty scents, lemongrass, and petitgrain, making it a versatile option for fragrance blending.

Rosemary Verbenone Essential Oil Properties & Uses

About 0.3-0.5% of Rosemary essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from its stems and leaves, and is colorless and clear in color. It is characterized by the presence of borneol, which imparts a subtly sweet, camphor-like aroma. Rosemary essential oil can be found in three main chemotypes: camphor-rich, cineole-rich, and verbenone-rich, each offering a unique fragrance profile. The verbenone-rich variety, known as Rosemary Verbenone, features a gentle green undertone that is less brisk and deeper than other Rosemary types, lending it a sense of tranquility. When blending, Rosemary Verbenone pairs well with invigorating essential oils like Laurel and Juniper, as well as deep sweet fragrances like Rose, Vetiver, and Patchouli. When it comes to creating aromatic accords, it pairs well with Basil, Lavender, minty scents, Lemongrass and Petitgrain, making it a versatile option for fragrance blending.

Stress Reduction

A study reported that brain tumors in mice that inhaled the fragrance of α-pinene became smaller. However, no melanoma cell growth was observed with the addition of α-pinene, indicating a potential psychological effect .1)

Anti-bacterial Effects

A study reported that α-pinene had an inhibitory effect on the growth of blue staining fungi, both when exposed to gas and when added to the culture medium2)

Anti-inflammatory Effects

It is known that the addition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW264.7 cells induces the production of nitric oxide (NO), a substance that causes inflammation. A study reported that the production of NO was suppressed by the addition of α-pinene.3)

A study reported that when common odorants like skatole and 3-methylbutanoic acid were stored in a sealed container with 1,8-cineole, the odorant components were significantly diminished.2)

Antimalarial Effects

A study reported that the addition of 1,8-cineole reduced the number of infected cells in malaria-infected erythrocytes. Furthermore, it was found to inhibit the intracellular growth of Plasmodium falciparum and mitigate the brain edema caused by the infection3)

Stress Reduction

A study reported that mice subjected to cold stress at 4°C (41°F) exhibited reduced elevations in blood corticosterone levels when treated with limonene. Furthermore, the same report demonstrated that limonene effectively lowered corticosterone levels in the blood of mice exposed to both physical and mental stress.1)

Memory Improvement

A study reported that when acetylcholinesterase reacts with acetylthiocholine in phosphate-buffered saline, the introduction of limonene inhibits the degradation by acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase plays a role in the breakdown of acetylcholine, a hormone associated with memory and learning. In the same report, it was also noted that limonene suppressed memory impairment induced by scopolamine administration in rats.2)

Anti-cancer Effects

A report indicated that the consumption of limonene by breast cancer patients resulted in reduced expression of Cyclin D1, a protein crucial for cell division, within tumors.3)Furthermore, numerous other studies have also documented the anticancer properties of limonene.4)5)
