Most of us know rosemary as an herb that is aromatic and a quality ingredient in good cooking in the kitchen. It has a very distinct flavor that is very commonly used in breads, salads, vegetables, meats and stuffing. It is from the evergreen family with a bittersweet taste. It is from the Mediterranean and people have been using it in their cooking for ages.
Substances in rosemary have been proven to improve circulation, stimulate the immune system, and improve digestion. It is also believe that this herb has increased concentration and strengthen the memory.
As much good as it would do to ingest this delightful herb, it works just as well in the spa as it does in the kitchen. It has a very invigorating scent that makes it a favorite for spa treatments. It is commonly used in anti-aging formulas, as well as increases blood flow, relieves skin congestion and reduces puffiness. Rosemary on the skin makes it firmer, which means it increases skin tone.
Our Detoxifying Blend contains a nice mix of rosemary along with the aromatic scents of oregano and basil with a few other ingredients.
Rosemary proves itself to be a very versatile ingredient in the kitchen as well as the spa. With the right oils and some sugar, crushed rosemary could make for a very good exfoliating hand scrub. There’s some food for thought!
