Rosemary is also excellent for the hair. Regular use can stimulate hair follicles and slow hair loss. It can also slow greying. Of course the effects will vary from person to person so try it to see if it works for you.

Rosemary essential oil is a disinfectant and is used as a mouth wash. It also helps in removing bad breadth. Use a couple of drops of oil in warm water. Rinse well then spit. - Never swallow any essential oils no matter how diluted.

Rosemary essential oil is an excellent brain and nerve tonic. A couple of drops in the oil burner or make some Rosemary incense and gt them going when you need to concentrate.

If your making kebabs for the BBQ – throw away those cheap wooden skewers and strip the leaves off some Rosemary branches and use those for your skewers. You wont believe how good your kebabs taste !
