Five good reasons to always keep at least one sprig of rosemary in your home
Many people are familiar with the pronounced aroma of rosemary, but for some reason it continues to be used exclusively in cooking. After all, you are losing a lot! This miracle herb is so useful that it can be added to many cosmetic products, informs Ukr.Media.
Five interesting ways to use rosemary in your everyday life. You won't regret it!
Mosquito repellent
This life hack will be especially popular in the summer months. Tired of blood-sucking insects? Place a few sprigs of rosemary on hot (but not red-hot) coals in the barbecue. If this is not possible, take a very hot lamp or light a candle in a tall glass and place the herb on top. Just make sure that the fire does not touch the sprig, otherwise it can easily catch fire.
Scented sachets
Fill your home with a fresh aroma! Remove the rosemary needles from the sprigs and place them in linen bags. If desired, you can add other aromatic herbs to the bags: lavender, mint or chamomile. Tie the sachets and place them in places where you would like to spread this scent. By the way, in addition to saturating your home with a pleasant aroma, this sachet will also repel mosquitoes and other annoying insects!
Body scrub
Not every store-bought beauty product is made with all-natural ingredients. Luckily, making one yourself doesn’t require much effort: simply combine salt, orange zest, rosemary leaves, and olive oil in a blender and blend until smooth. This scrub will not only exfoliate your skin, but it will also tighten it!
Facial toner
And this natural remedy will help cleanse and tighten pores! To prepare it, you will need only 5 minutes of your time and a couple of ingredients: a few sprigs of rosemary and apple cider vinegar. Put the herb in water and bring it to a boil, then add a few drops of apple cider vinegar to the resulting decoction. Cool and pour into more convenient containers. The tonic can be used daily in the morning and evening after the main skin care procedure.
Help with concentration
If you find yourself feeling too tired to continue working effectively, it’s time to take a break. But don’t just put everything off, take a break and inhale the aroma of rosemary. One scientific study has shown that the scent of this herb improves cognitive function and improves mood!
