Rosemary for Remembrance
Rosemary is
another of the herbs who thrive best in warm Mediterranean climes but can
weather the cold. Tough to grow from seed, cuttings are an easier way to start
your row of rosemary plants in your garden. Pots of this bushy plant can enjoy
spring and summer and come in from the cold to a sheltered porch or by a sunny
window. As a bonus, it requires little water. Rosemary is fantastic as a seasoning
for potatoes, roast chicken and makes any Sunday supper taste better and
brighter. You can pinch off the aromatic needles to dress plates, or sprinkle
into soups and stews. Beyond all of what it can do to enhance your cookery,
this is primary plant for rejuvenation and is prized for how it restores after
lingering illness; elixirs and essential oils made from rosemary stimulate,
energize as they comfort. In Greco Roman times, rosemary was believed to help
the memory. An excellent kitchen
witchery practice is to take dried or fresh rosemary and add it to a steam for
an easy infusion where it aids breathing, muscle aches and anxiety. You can
accomplish the same by adding rosemary to a hot bath. Lie back and relax,
remembering happy times in your life and those that lie right ahead of you.
