Rosemary or medicinal rosemary (lat. Rosmarinus officinalis) is an aromatic herb from the sedum family, whose original home is the climatically favorable Mediterranean Sea. It grows as an evergreen, richly branched shrub with narrow, responsive leaves and is adorned with beautiful flowers of white, blue, or purple colors when it blooms. The fruit is hard.
Originally it was widespread in the Mediterranean region. It is also grown in England, the USA, Mexico and almost all of Central and Eastern Europe, but there is one condition: since it cannot survive severe winters, it must be wintered in a greenhouse.

The history of rosemary is long. It was bred by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The name Rosmarinus comes from the words ros and marina – sea dew. It was said to stimulate memory, which is why Greek students often wore wreaths of rosemary on their heads. This plant was associated with love and death. What should you imagine? During the funeral, a sprig of rosemary symbolizing memories was placed in the hands of the deceased. On the other hand, it also means love. Because of this, brides wore it earlier on their wedding day. Since it also acts as a medicine, it used to be a sought-after remedy for the plague.
Fresh or dried leaves are used as both herbs and spices. Dried rosemary leaves have a strong, camphor-like aroma. The recommended daily allowance of spices is a maximum of 1 teaspoon of rosemary per meal for 4 people. In larger amounts it can have intoxicating effects.
