Rosemary essential oil is strong, fresh, minty, and herbaceous with a woody balsamic undertone. This herb has long been the symbol of love, loyalty, and eternity and is also the remembrance plant. Brides often wore rosemary wreaths and carried rosemary bouquets to show they would never forget their families. Rosemary was thrown in the grave as a symbol that the dead would not be forgotten.
Rosemary was also planted around tombs, and in ancient Greece, it was used by students in their hair or around their necks to strengthen their memories. The Greek physician Dioscorides made a remedy from rosemary that was used to cure Jaundice.
The first essential oil to be distilled in the year 1330 was Rosemary, and during the middle ages, the plant was burnt to fumigate sick rooms and as incense for funeral services. Wealthy families in the sixteenth century hired perfumers to fragrance their homes with rosemary incense. It was also carried during the plague in 11665 o the handles of walking sticks and pouches so it could be easily inhaled walking through sick areas.
The United States Pharmacopoeia has rosemary listed from 1800 until the 1950s. Many apothecaries recommend this oil to prevent baldness. Hospitals in France during world war II used rosemary and juniper berries in hospitals to kill germs.
