History
Rosemary has been well documented in rituals, recipes and medicine. During the plague, bunches of rosemary were hung and burned to help fight off infection. The early Greeks used it as a digestive aid, while it was a sign of fidelity during Medieval and Classical times. The French hung rosemary in their hospitals mid-19th century due to its antiseptic and purifying properties. The stimulating effect of Rosemary oil has been employed to help with joint and muscle pain. It was used to counter mental fatigue and to enhance concentration. Rosemary has been widely regarded as a stimulating tonic in hair and skincare.
