Common Uses:  Its best-known use is as facial oil for extremely dry skin.  The verbenone CT is even more effective at clearing catarrh than Rosemary officinalis.  It is less stimulating generally and much less of a mental stimulant, so it can be used in the evening.  Rosemary (vebenone) essential oil nourishes the scalp and keeps hair looking healthy and shiny.  Many users claim that it promotes hair growth, though there is not any medical evidence to support this argument.  It normalizes excessive oil secretions and improves most scalp problems, particularly dandruff and seborrhea.  Rosemary oil is also helpful in treating cellulite.  This essential oil balances intense emotions and controls mood swings.  It lifts spirits and counters depression.  It assists in managing stress and overcoming stress-related disorders and nervous exhaustion.
