Rosemary
Family:
Labiatae |
Latin Name:
Rosemarinus officinalus |
Description
Tall, stout shrub; height 4-6 feet; width: 4 feet; Flowers: pale blue, sometimes pink or white. Long, narrow, leathery leaves folded into themselves, deep green on top and white and slightly fuzzy underneath.
Common Uses
Studies show rosemary leaves increase circulation, reduce headaches and fight bacterial and fungal infections. It is considered one of the strongest natural antioxidants. As a warming herb, it stimulates circulation of blood to the head, improving concentration and memory. It also eases headaches and migraine, and encourages hair growth by improving blood flow to the scalp.
History
The ancients said that it strengthens memory and even in Shakespeare's Hamlet, Ophelia says "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance, pray you love, remember." To encourage couples to remember their wedding vows, it was entwined into the bride's head wreath and, tied with ribbons, was presented to wedding guests.
