Rosemary has been recorded in every herbal and medical text since very early times, and it has long been regarded as a preserver of youth says Pamela Allardice writing in Natural Remedies A – Z. Rosemary has been much researched and used a a medicinal herb. It was first noted as having preservative qualities centuries ago when meat was wrapped in crushed rosemary leaves to stop it from spoiling.

Rosemary Tea - A tea made from fresh rosemary is beneficial for headaches and digestive disorders.

Rosemary Oil - With its powerful aroma, rosemary oil is an effective inhalant and decongestant. Use oil of rosemary on a child’s chest to ease a cough. Rosemary oil is also an effective rinse for oily hair and skin. Here is a simple recipe for a rosemary hair rinse:

Rosemary Hair Rinse Recipe:

Add 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar and 5 drops Rosemary essential oil (or you can use a tablespoon of dried rosemary) to 1 cup of water. You may leave this rinse on your hair or rinse with water. The vinegar smell will go away when your hair dries

Rosemary tea or water is an effective and tasty gargle to treat bad breath. Here is how you make it:

Bad Breath Remedy using Rosemary -

Take about 2 ounces of fresh rosemary leaves and place them in a container. I have rosemary growing in my garden but you can find fresh rosemary in the grocery store in the produce section.

Place the rosemary leaves in a container and pour two cups of boiling water over them. Add a few drops of lemon essential oil or lemon extract. Allow the mixture to stand for 24 hours.

Strain out the rosemary leaves and now you will have dark brown colored liquid. You can use this liquid as a mouthwash. My daughter who is very picky about her mouthwash and does not like any of the commercial preparations pronounced this concoction acceptable.
