Rosemary Description
Rosemary is an aromatic evergreen shrub that has leaves similar to hemlock needles. The leaves are used as a flavoring in foods such as stuffings and roast lamb, pork, chicken and turkey. It is native to the Mediterranean and Asia, but is reasonably hardy in cool climates. It can withstand droughts, surviving a severe lack of water for lengthy periods.[5] Forms range from upright to trailing; the upright forms can reach 1.5 m (5 ft) tall, rarely 2 m (6 ft 7 in). The leaves are evergreen, 2–4 cm (0.8–1.6 in) long and 2–5 mm broad, green above, and white below, with dense, short, woolly hair. The plant flowers in spring and summer in temperate climates, but the plants can be in constant bloom in warm climates; flowers are white, pink, purple or deep blue.
Where Rosemary herbs Flourishes
Rosemary flourishes in well-drained, alkaline soil. It prefers sunny condition and needs protection shelter from gusty winds. The plant reaches about 1.5-3 meters in height. Its bushy stems and downy young shoots are covered with about 1 inch long, narrow, needle-like aromatic leaves; dark green above and grayish underneath. The plant bears short racemes of small sea blue flowers appearing in early summer.
The plant parts; flowers and leaves have an odor that is pungently aromatic and somewhat camphoraceous (camphor-like).
Apart from culinary and medicinal purpose rosemary shoots, flowers and leaves are used in ceremonies such as weddings and festivals for decorating banquet halls as incense to ward off bad influences.
Since it is attractive and drought tolerant, rosemary is used as an ornamental plant in gardens and for xeriscape landscaping, especially in regions of Mediterranean climate. It is considered easy to grow and pest-resistant. Rosemary can grow quite large and retain attractiveness for many years, can be pruned into formal shapes and low hedges, and has been used for topiary. It is easily grown in pots. The groundcover cultivars spread widely, with a dense and durable texture.
Rosemary grows on friable loam soil with good drainage in an open, sunny position. It will not withstand waterlogging and some varieties are susceptible to frost. It grows best in neutral to alkaline conditions (pH 7–7.8) with average fertility. It can be propagated from an existing plant by clipping a shoot (from a soft new growth) 10–15 cm (4–6 in) long, stripping a few leaves from the bottom, and planting it directly into soil.

News About Rosemary
Rosemary: the mind-bending herb of choice for today’s students
- Source:https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2017/may/23/rosemary-herb-choice-students-memory
- By Emine Saner
Sales of the plant’s oil – which reportedly improves memory – have shot up in the past year. So, which other natural remedies may aid learning?
Students are known for dabbling with mind-altering herbs, and the latest tale of herbal experimentation shows there has been a rush on rosemary. Following a report that the woody herb may improve memory, students have been seeking it out to give them the edge in exams.
Health store Holland & Barrett has reported a 187% increase in sales of rosemary oil in the past year. A spokesperson said that most in-store questions about rosemary “came from parents hoping to boost their children’s success for exam season”. The store also said that relaxation aids and “natural energy drinks ... have been popular this exam time as alternatives to caffeine”.
Molecules in rosemary oil have “been shown previously [to] have the ability to interact with the brain’s neurotransmitters”, according to Mark Moss, head of the psychology department at Northumbria University. Compounds are absorbed into the blood by inhaling the aroma. “They interact with what is called the cholinergic system, which is involved in memory,” he added.
Herbal remedies, says Moss, are not a “magic bullet”. “It’s not just one molecule; there are a number of them and you need the right molecules in the right proportions in order to get the beneficial effect. You might actually get some rosemary oil that isn’t having any beneficial effect.”
It is also worth remembering, perhaps aided by a cup of rosemary tea, that evidence for the benefits of herbal remedies mostly comes from small-scale studies. In any case, here are some other remedies that might be useful to students.
- Peppermint
Last year, Moss presented findings that showed that volunteers who drank peppermint tea before tests had better memory and alertness than those who were given camomile tea. In the US, studies led by Bryan Raudenbush, an associate professor of psychology at Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia, found peppermint scent reduced anxiety and fatigue.
- Cinnamon
Raudenbush also studied the effects of cinnamon, testing it in a simulated driving experiment. He found it increased alertness and reduced frustration.
- Sage
Moss has also studied sage. He discovered “performance enhancements in aspects of memory and also attention – the speed at which you can attend to something. They are small effects, but they seem to be beneficial”.
- Ginkgo biloba
This supplement, extracted from the leaves of the ginkgo tree, is believed traditionally to give cognitive benefits, but one large study into whether it could help prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia failed to show positive results, while one review found no compelling evidence that ginkgo biloba was helpful in healthy young people. “Sometimes we have found beneficial effects and sometimes we have not,” says Moss. “These extracts differ considerably depending on where they have been sourced.” Perhaps no amount of supplements and herbal teas can make up for rest and revision.
