Rosemary is a tall, woody evergreen shrub that can grow up to 3 meters. Its scientific name is Rosmarinus officinalis. It was used as incense during ancient times.
As a kitchen herb, it flavors chicken, lamb and red meat well.

It is a good tonic for the hair and scalp. The tea can be mixed with shampoo. (Visit Hair Products: Shampoo, Conditioners, Dye and Green Tips.)
