The history and origins of rosemary<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rosemary is an aromatic herb native to the Mediterranean area. Its scientific name, Rosmarinus officinalis<\/em>, comes from the Latin for “dew of the sea”, which may have originated from the appearance of this plant in its habitat: oceans of blue flowers by the beaches. It is now grown in dozens of countries and is part of the Lamiaceae<\/em> family, the same as oregano, lavender, thyme and basil.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stems are harvested during the summer and left to dry in the sun. Its leaves have been used in cooking and traditional medicine for centuries, as it is highly rich in vitamins and minerals<\/strong> and an excellent flavour enhancer. It is common to use rosemary infusion in baths and essential oils. It is also associated with weight loss due to its action in reducing fluid retention. In addition to tea and spices, it is also often used in aromatherapy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In ancient Greek times, rosemary sprigs were used to improve brain function<\/strong>. According to the Greeks, it helped them to activate the mind and improve concentration and memory. Rosemary sprigs were also used in wreaths at celebrations, as they symbolised fidelity and immortality. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
