ROSEMARY

Also known as Dew of the Sea, part of the mint family, is an herb of movement that is very warming for cold systems, an amazing digestive tonic, and a strengthener for the nervous system. Its oils with their uplifting aromas stimulate the circulatory system and brain, bringing awareness, alertness, and helping with memory, thus its reference as the herb of remembrance. Infused in oil, rosemary can ease pains and aches. As a smudge it has strong antimicrobial properties and has been used for a long time for protection and purification. Associated with love, faithfulness, and remembrance, it played an important role in both weddings and burials. It is also known as a house protector.
