Rosemary pairs beautifully with pumpkin, infusing both sweet and savoury dishes with its unique essence. Experiment by adding it to pumpkin soup, cookies, or pie. It also enhances dishes that feature citrus elements.

After a strenuous day, add rosemary to your bathwater to help soothe achy muscles and alleviate tension.

Rosemary is renowned for its medicinal benefits too, notably in enhancing memory and focus. It shows promise in the treatment of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. It supports liver detoxification, aids in improving circulation and offers relief from tension-induced headaches.

Used externally, it can potentially alleviate arthritis symptoms, neuralgia, muscle and joint pain, and sciatica.
