Three Energizing Essential Oils
1. Rosemary Essential Oil
Anti-cellulite – due to Rosemary’s ability to increase blood circulation and waste removal, while reducing water retention, it has been effective in creating a smoother appearance for the thighs. Rosemary oil also tones puffy, sagging skin, making it the number one product for combating cellulite.

Painkilling – for muscle aches / arthritis / gout / rheumatism.
Whats the most energizing essential oil? – The answer is Rosemary! If you suffer from low energy, apply Rosemary oil to your entire body, after your morning bath or shower. Create a homemade energy lotion, by following these simple instructions:
