Rosemary is associated with Aphrodite as Greek artwork often depicts the Goddess of Love with images of a plant thought to be Rosemary. This highly valued herb became the subject of many poems and is mentioned in five of Shakespeare’s plays.

For centuries, Rosemary has been dried to make herb bundles that, to this day, are burned to keep harmful and negative energy from making their way into the home. The practice of smudging is used for purification and for creating a sacred space.

Rosemary Wood was once used in Pagan rituals. It was made into an ointment used to purify the hands of priests or to use as an incense. In Medieval times it was used to make talismans against poisoning and was revered as a sacred plant in which Fairies were known to hide or make their home.

Rosemary can be used as an antiseptic, antidepressant, analgesic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, aphrodisiac and expectorant. It is also used to condition the scalp and skin.

This remarkable herb has earned praise for alleviating nerve-related conditions, boosting the repair system, fighting off infections, aiding respiratory ailments, strengthening digestion and improving circulation. 

Rosemary has the ability to stimulate memory, improve concentration and help overcome mental fatigue by increasing the blood flow to the head and brain. It is also known to alleviate depression and sadness and can decrease anxiety brought on by stress.

Rosemary is also high in manganese, an essential nutrient for metabolic health. Manganese helps the body to form blood clots that enable injuries to heal faster. Rosemary also contains carnosic acid, a compound known for its powerful antioxidant properties.
