-> About 4-5 years ago I planted 2 Rosemary plants 2" pots as I recall and -> believe it or not both of them are now 3' tall and about 3-4' long. I -> live in Florida and the sandy soil is no prize, but I won't knock -> success. Anybody have any interesting uses for this Herb? x 1. It will help a mild headache of most non-sinus varieties. Make tea from a rounded to heaping teaspoon of it. This tea is also mildly stimulating without being jangly like caffeine, so it's good in the morning Don't drink more than a couple of cups in a day, though; it's possible to overdo rosemary and make yourself kind of sick. x 2. It makes a pretty good rub for sore muscles; soak (two weeks in a warm place) or warm at least half a cup of dried herb till the oil is very fragrant in enough light mineral oil, baby oil or "light" olive oil to cover plus about a quarter inch. Strain and use. x 3. It's a good preservative and germicide; compares so well to BHA and BHT, for instance, that a tasteless and odorless rosemary extract is now showing up in some foods as a commercial preservative. Put it in picnic food on hot days; it's great in potato salad anyway. And a strong rosemary tea makes a great mouthwash and will keep several days unrefrigerated. x 4. It's the original and (IMHO) very best incense of all time, used for at least 3000 years, probably much more. Smolder it on incense charcoal. x 5. Put sprigs of it in flower arrangements; it's lovely with roses or carnations and the combination of scents is interesting. x Rain, who loves rosemary @@@@ \\\\\
