Most sources interpret the Latin name for rosemary as ros marinus, “dew of the sea.” Rosemary is indigenous to countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. In its native region, it often grows at low altitude and in proximity to the sea. However, it does not populate the coast, where the spray of sea water might inspire the name. This antiseptic oil is used in the treatment of muscular sprains, arthritis, colic depression, memory loss, migraine, and coughs. It is popular in aromatherapy, where it revives, warms, stimulates, and restores.
Rosemary is both a physical and mental stimulant, and is excellent for refreshing tired muscles, feet, and mind, encouraging concentration. It combats mental fatigue and clears stuffy atmospheres. Its actions are analgesic, anti-depressive, anti-inflammatory, astringent, decongestant, digestive, fungicidal, insecticide, invigorating, relaxant, restorative to the nervous system, and sedative.
A middle note, Rosemary blends well with all citrus oils, Ravintsara, Basil, Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Elemi, Cistus, Lavandin, Lavender, Peppermint, Petitgrain, and Thyme. Rosemary essential oil is one of the ingredients used in the preparation of eau de cologne.

Usnea [Prima Fleur No. 516] is a CO2
from Germany with a very interesting wood and veggie odor that is used in
blending and products. It has been used medicinally for at least 1000 years.
Usnic acid (C18H16O7), a potent antibiotic and antifungal agent, is found in most
species. This, combined with the hairlike structure of the lichen, is why Usnea
was historically used to treat surface wounds when sterile gauze and modern
antibiotics were unavailable.
High
in vitamin C, Usnea is edible. In modern American herbal medicine, it is
primarily used for lung and upper respiratory tract infections, and urinary
tract infections.
CO2 is
a Carbon Dioxide extraction, either "select" or "total." It is a
natural, environmentally sound form of extraction that yields the highest
