ROSEMARY | Rosmarinus officionalis
Rosemary is a well known herb in most kitchens these days. Medicinally, it is not to be overlooked! Rosemary has been revered for its stimulating properties, promoting circulation, and enhancing memory and concentration. It's also used as a digestive aid and to relieve muscle pain.
Because of its tested and tried use of strengthening memory, known in antiquity, Rosemary became associated with lovers and friends, often used in wedding ceremonies, to symbolize remembrance of love and connection. It has also been used as a funerary plant, perhaps for the same reasons of remembering the passed loved one and perhaps, as well for protection for the living.
Though the name “Rosemary” was derived from the Latin words "ros" meaning "dew" and "marinus" meaning "sea," one can’t help but associate it with rose and the virgin Mary, linking it to women of old. A rather interesting account of rosemary in traditional folk belief from Maude Grieve:
“In early times, Rosemary was freely cultivated in kitchen gardens and came to represent the dominant influence of the house mistress 'Where Rosemary flourished, the woman ruled.'
The Treasury of Botany says:
'There is a vulgar belief in Gloucestershire and other counties, that Rosemary will not grow well unless where the mistress is "master"; and so touchy are some of the lords of creation upon this point, that we have more than once had reason to suspect them of privately injuring a growing rosemary in order to destroy this evidence of their want of authority.'“
May rosemary flourish in your gardens!
