Soothing, peaceful, release (Rosmarinus) 9/3/24
Rosemary has been used throughout time for its rich aromatic flavor and aroma, as well as its healing and magical properties. This blog was created after researching numerous resources and through my own personal experience. I grow my own organic Rosemary all over our property to ward off insects as well as for harvesting. I use a lot of Rosemary in my cooking, and I dehydrate it and add it to my spice blends, teas and tinctures. Rosemary is one of the easiest herbs to grow, it just needs lots of sun, a good watering once in a while and well-drained soil. You don't want to overwater them, and the soil should be allowed to dry out in between waterings. I put a lot of the plants in pots to move around wherever they're needed to repel pests. I put them on my porch if we're going to spend time there to keep the mosquitoes away. The infused and essential oils can be used as a mosquito, flea and tick repellant when spending time outdoors. I have tinctures, oils and spice blends in my store inventory. You can check them out in the store attached to this website or contact me directly if it's not listed yet.
