add 1 drop of rosemary essential oil to a drop of hair conditioner, massage into the scalp and hair; leave on for 3-5 minutes. (By the way, rosemary hydrolat (not plain water) is the main ingredient in our Gentle Rosemary Shampoo!)
make a head massage with rosemary-coconut oil: add 5 drops of rosemary oil to a tablespoon of rosemary oil. Massage your head for at least 10min (ideally ask a relative to do it, or even better, a professional); you can leave it as a hair mask overnight; in the morning, wash your hair with a mild shampoo.
for a body massage, dilute rosemary essential oil in the base oil to a concentration of 2%.
diffuse rosemary essential oil in the workroom using our Aromastone or Aromastream vaporizers (2-10 drops of essential oil, depending on the size of the room)
put a few drops of rosemary essential oil on the paper next to your workstation and let it evaporate.
