1.8 cineole Rosemary, originating from the region of Morocco, exhibits remarkable vitality due to the harsh climate, dryness, high temperatures, and intense sunlight in the area. Rosemary thrives in sandy, infertile, and arid soils, making it well-suited for the challenging local environment.
Its composition consists of approximately 50% cineole, around 10% camphor, which contributes to the distinctive aroma of cineole Rosemary. Thanks to the proportion of 1,8 cineole, it is considered one of the typical and useful essential oils for respiratory symptoms. It has a beneficial effect on soothing coughs, expectorating mucus, and relieving respiratory discomfort. Camphor has a positive impact on heart function regulation and cardiovascular health. Furthermore, the diverse components of cineole Rosemary provide it with the ability to promote moisture movement, spleen nourishment, and humidity reduction.
