I never mix the oils, but I infused chopped fresh rosemary in olive and coconut oils.
Let it soak for 2-3 weeks and then strain. Smells heavenly! | | | | | January 26th, 2008, 11:00 PM | #3 | | Long Hair Admirer Join Date: Jan 2008 Age: 29 Posts: 16 Length: 10/14/40 Type: 3a// | | Re: Olive oil with rosemary oil | |
I mix about 20 drops of rosemary oil into 2 ounces of olive oil. It does the trick for me. Rosemary essential oil is good for the scalp and hair but it can be very irritating in large doses. I would try a little first before using so much on the scalp. | | | | | January 27th, 2008, 12:49 PM | #4 | | Long Hair Admirer Join Date: Jan 2008 Age: 34 Posts: 8 Length: ?/33"/34" Type: 1b// | | Re: Olive oil with rosemary oil | |
Be careful when using essential oils. That recipe sounds like a high proportion of eo. I would start with a few drops diluted in the olive oil. A great book for using essential oils is the The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy by Valerie Ann Worwood. She discusses carrier oils too (olive oil, apricot kernel oil, etc) and whether they should be used on the skin by themselves or if they need to be mixed with other oils. Wormwood recommends only using 10% concentration of olive oil. You can probably look at it on amazon. Base oils are mentioned on pp 15-17. I have used many of her suggestions and I refer to this book regularly. | | | | | January 28th, 2008, 03:40 PM | #5 | | Long Hair Admirer Join Date: Jan 2008 Age: 29 Posts: 16 Length: 10/14/40 Type: 3a// | | Re: Olive oil with rosemary oil | |
Thank you aprilmay. That was a much more articulate description of what I meant to say. I haven't read that particular book, but I know from experience that essential oils can HURT in high doses. I used only about 10 drops of lavendar on my scalp before I knew how strong essential oils are and I wanted to tear my hair out. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |  Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts
