Product Abstract: Rosemary is an evergreen shrub with multiple branches. Its bark is ash-colored and scaly, and its leaves are leathery, thick, glossy, dark green, and white below. It produces tiny pale blue blooms from December to spring and can reach heights of about 2 meters. Rosemary is known as the 'dew of the sea' since it grows naturally near the Mediterranean Sea. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years, and its leaves were once burned to clear the air. Rosemary was utilized in Roman burial ceremonies, and this practice lasted far into the Middle Ages, when it was usual to place rosemary branches on the coffin at funerals.
