brews it refreshes and stimulates the skin. Has antibiotic and
anti-fungal properties. Stimulates digestion. Rosemary hair rinses
brighten dark hair. In medieval times it was burned to cleanse the
altar. Add rosemary to love sachets or place under the bed and above the
door to protect you from harm. Besides the historic uses, rosemary is
best known for remembrance and friendship. At one time rosemary was in
every wedding, and at funerals mourners tossed fresh sprigs into the

today rosemary signifies love, friendship and remembrance. Up north try
planting rosemaries around your septic system; this gives a little more
warmth to the root system. |
