Rosemary<\/span><\/h2>\n

A woody herb steeped in ancient legend, rosemary is easy to grow and has loads of uses around the home from bath time delights to culinary masterpieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rosemary, its leaves needle shaped, is native to the Mediterranean and produces a profusion of small blue and white flowers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Called by its Latin name, \u2018the dew of the sea\u2019 it can go long periods without water surviving on the humidity carried by the sea breeze.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also grows well in cooler climates, either in indoor pots or planted outside, and can be snipped into different shapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

In medieval times it was used as a love charm-a symbol of love and loyalty, and placing it under one\u2019s pillow was believed to prevent nightmares and repel witches. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today it\u2019s used in Remembrance Day wreaths and wedding bouquets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rosemary, part of the wider mint family of herbs, is used medicinally by aromatherapists as an aid to digestion.<\/span><\/p>\n

A small bottle of the essential oil is available from larger chemists and health food shops. A few drops can be sprinkled on a hanky or into a bath. <\/span><\/p>\n

The vapour acts as a decongestant and can lift one\u2019s spirits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aromatherapists recommend blending it with lavender and tea tree oils to help cure colds by combining their antiseptic and antibacterial properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rosemary oil is added to soaps and shampoos because it\u2019s astringent and helps combat oily skin leaving ones hair smelling wonderfully fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent medical research claims rosemary can also improve memory. However a word of caution, essential oils are extremely strong in their undiluted form and should be used sparingly. <\/span><\/p>\n

So always read the label and ask in the shop at time of buying if you are in anyway uncertain.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also widely used in cooking. Although available dried in a packet, herbs are generally best fresh straight from a plant, which in the case of rosemary, being an evergreen, grows all the year around.<\/span><\/p>\n

A sprig, placed on grills and barbeques, can add to the flavour of meats with its pungent aroma. Roast potatoes are enhanced by blending salt, chopped rosemary leaves, garlic and olive oil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rosemary also brings out the full flavour in lamb when added to the cooking process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chefs use rosemary during the winter months to flavour his rabbit stew. During the summer he infuses it into oils as a dressing for salads.<\/span> <\/p>\n
