magento remove /home from url

Question

I am trying to configure how to redirect my Magento website from "www.mywebsite.com/home" to base url "www.mywebsite.com", it always redirecting to www.mywebsite.com/home

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/home
RewriteRule ^(.*)home$ http://www.mywebsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

but I got error at the browser says "The page isn't redirecting properly"

I don't know where to change it to only "http://www.mywebsite.com/"

I will have problem with SEO if it not change
