The scent of rosemary is particularly uplifting and is a common ingredient in potpourri. It has been symbolic of friendship, love, and marriage for hundreds of years. Rosemary is a mild antidepressant, which is why it can be used for lightening the spirits. A rosemary tea can be made adding two teaspoons of dried rosemary to a cup of boiling water and allowing it to steep.

Humans have consumed rosemary at least since Egyptian times; it has a strong and robust flavor that should be used sparingly. Today, the herb is  particularly important in Southern Mediterranean and French cooking. The leaves have a strong, somewhat antiseptic scent. Its flavor is reminiscent of a sweet pine. Rosemary is extraordinarily tasty on roasted or grilled foods; it is also commonly combined with vegetables, roasted chicken, lamb, fish, added to soups, sauces, stuffing, and marinades. The fresh leaves of this plant can easily be saved for use later by drying, or freezing them.

Rosemary also is widely used in beauty products such as popular shampoos, facial washes and perfumes. Try making strong rosemary tea to use as a hair rinse, or to add to shampoos and conditioners. Soaking rosemary leaves in ordinary rubbing alcohol for several days will make a concentrated rosemary scent. Remove the leaves; if alcohol has partials in it, the mixture will need to be run through a coffee filter. Then, simple allow the alcohol to evaporate, and a potent rosemary scent will have been created.

To make rosemary-scented soap, add the above described concentrated rosemary scent too melted Neutrogena soap (or similar soap) and allow cooling in desired mold shapes. Try adding a few whole leaves to the mold before the soap cools to add a decorative touch.

The rosemary plant has also been used for its many medical properties since ancient times. It is most well-known as a mild antidepressant.
