Hi, I have heard that basil oil is wonderful for stimulating hair growth but I am wondering what effect it has from an aromatherapy view? Does anyone know? Thanks. |

Ok, Here is another great hair essential oil. Rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis (Spain).* A strong, fresh scent characteristic of this cooking herb. Used as a fragrance and a flavor. Traditionally used in treating a wide range of issues including respiratory, circulatory, digestive, muscular, skin and hair problems. Rejuvenating, Stimulating, Uplifting  ------------- Sophie http://salonwest.proboards34.com - http://salonwest.proboards34.com |
