8. Reduce The Appearance Of Stretch Marks
Rosemary is one of the best essential oils for reducing the appearance of stretch marks. Mix six drops of rosemary essential oil with two tablespoons of coconut oil, and massage this mixture into the affected areas twice each day until you get the desired results.
9. The Perfect Insecticide
If you care about bees and butterflies, then you should avoid using chemical pesticides. You can make your own completely natural insect repellent by mixing 10 drops of rosemary, thyme, peppermint, and clove oil in about 16 ounces of water in a spray bottle. This will not only stop insects from making your plants their home, but it will also stop fungus from attacking your plants. This mixture is completely safe for flowers and vegetables.
10. All-Purpose Cleaning Spray
Rosemary is one of the best essential oils that you can keep on hand for cleaning just about anything in your kitchen or bathroom. Rosemary essential oil has antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal compounds that make it the perfect cleansing oil. In a large spray bottle, mix half a cup of white vinegar, 12 to 15 drops of rosemary essential oil, and a half cup of water. Shake well before each use, and spray liberally any place you want to clean and disinfect.
11. Stop Wrinkles With This Recipe
For extra power to stop wrinkles dead in their tracks, try this super potent anti-wrinkle serum: Mix equal parts of lemon, frankincense, sandalwood, geranium, lavender, and rosemary oil in a small glass container. Add four drops of this mixture into one tablespoon of your favorite carrier oil such as olive oil, almond oil, or coconut oil. Use topically each night about 20 minutes before bedtime, and in about four to six weeks, be prepared to be amazed at the results.
12. Natural Deodorant

This will not stop perspiration, but it is a very effective deodorant. Mix half a dozen drops of rosemary oil with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Saturate a cotton ball with this mixture, and rub on your underarms.
