Rosemary (Rosemary Extract, Labiatae, Rosmarinus o)
In some parts of the world Rosemary
is called "dew of the Sea," as it is said to tolerate and subdue
the strength of ocean mist and, strangely, its alkaline nature
as well, although this may be more a part of folklore than fact.
Historically, the branches of rosemary were used as a protection
against typhus as well as to relieve one of the smells of the
plagues that overwhelmed the middle ages. Even today, in some
Mediterranean villages, linen is spread over rosemary to dry
so that the sun's warmth may extract its moth-repellent aroma.
Rosemary, having the unproven reputation of strengthening the
memory, or at least aiding in the integrity and honesty of the
individual, as it has been known historically, became the emblem
of fidelity for lovers and is the token reason why some brides
today wear rosemary wreaths. A revered, if not delightful, Spanish
legend has it that the bush often acted to shelter the Virgin
Mary on her flight to Egypt.
It is said that as she spread her cloak over the rosemary herb
to provide herself and her newborn further protection from the
chill of the desert nights, the precious white flowers turned
blue in honest deference to her and her baby's purity. The herb
has some remarkable medicinal-like qualities as well. When used
topically, rosemary is said to stimulate the circulation and
ease discomfort possibly by increasing blood supply at the point
of application, although this remains unproven. When the oil
is extracted from this seed/hip of this South American shrub,
its uses in cosmetic preparation, creams and lotions have certain
surprising powers. Because of the large amounts of Vitamin C
and certain cofactors and cellular acids in rosemary oil, this
oil appears to supply to the body needed nutrients which then
aid the body in various recoveries of skin problems.
