For when the Christmas shopping list is just too long...

For better memory do what the ancient Greek students did...

To break up a nasty headache...

To kill germs in the house, do what they did from the 14^th century all the way up to WWII...

To invigorate the blood...

To stimulate digestion...

To improve a child's ability to concentrate...

To strengthen the nervous system and keep emotions in check...

Use,

Are you ready for this,

Rosemary.

That's right. It's not only a great, although pungent, cooking spice. It has tons of other extraordinary hidden powers.

Believed to improve memory, Rosemary became a symbol of remembrance and concentration.

Greek students wore rosemary in their hair.

It's worth a try to all those current college kids (those modern Greeks of ours) whose procrastination has caught up with them.

Who knows, you may just start a new trend.

Rosemary was tossed on graves to show remembrance and love for the deceased.

Brides wore Rosemary on their wedding days.

And it was rumored if you tapped Rosemary against the fingers on your sweetheart, it would secure their affection. Today it might just secure the fact that you are a little loony.

Just the smell of rosemary also helps relieve nervous exhaustion. Good to know holiday shoppers!

Did I mention headaches? No matter how big or small that headache is that's rampaging inside your cranium, Rosemary helps.

And it's simple too, Rosemary aromatherapy can be as easy as rubbing it between your hands and breathing deep the rich piny air.

In the 14^th and 15^th century, Rosemary was burned to cleanse the air of the terrible Black Death. It was used as recently as WWII, when a mixture of rosemary and juniper berries were burned in French hospitals to kill germs.

I love herbs. They are just so fascinating!

Rosemary seems suited so well for this time of year. It's effective for finals, frantic holiday shopping, and the winter blues. All things that have a tendency to plague us in the dark cold winter months.

It's perfectly targeted for getting those hard to shake chills by stimulating circulation.

Rosemary helps build you back up from exhaustion, weakness, and depression with it's awesomely smelly leaves of powerful goodness.

Not to mention, by increasing circulation, you are giving every cell in your body increased oxygen, food, as well as move the white blood cells, which work so hard to kick the butt of every germ, virus and bacteria that tries to invade. AND it carries away wastes, like carbon dioxide, and other stuff your body doesn't need.

Are you as amazed as I am?

So, if this time of year has you feeling forgetful, stressed, exhausted, sick, or cold.

Do as the Greeks do.

Turn to Rosemary.

How exactly, you ask?

Well a Rosemary tea is good for most everything I mentioned. Including colds, flu, indigestion, fatigue, headache as well as sore joints. Strong teas are helpful against depression.

A pad soaked in hot water with Rosemary is good for sprains when used 2-3 minutes then alternated with an ice pack.

And a strong tea used as a hair rinse is effective against dandruff.

Try one, or all of these uses for Rosemary. I will.

Oh, and thank you to all those who signed the petition last week. We got more than we needed, how fantastic!?!

Until next time, may you take care of yourself happily.
