£2.55

Rosemary Oil is steam distilled from the flowers, stems and leaves of the Rosemary plant. According to the the British Pharmacopoeia, the oil distilled from the flowering tops is superior to that obtained from the stem and leaves.

The smell of Rosemary Oil is woody and herbal and is used in aromatherapy to refresh and stimulate the mind.

Rosemary was well known and used in the ancient world. It was believed to improve memory, so it became a symbol of fidelity and was used in weddings, funerals and other religious ceremonies. A sprig of rosemary would be tied with ribbons and handed to wedding guests as a symbol of love and loyalty.

‘Hungary water’ – so called as it was made for the Queen of Hungary – can be made using fresh rosemary tops soaked in wine for a few days.
