The Latin name for rosemary means "sea moisture". Because rosemary usually grows by the sea. Its homeland is the Mediterranean basin and it is a perennial, shrub-like plant that grows on the Western and Southern Anatolian coastlines in our country. It likes sandy, loamy soils and is a warm climate plant. It is grown as an ornamental and hedge plant in gardens because it can grow up to 2 m and does not shed its leaves in winter. Its small flowers that open from March to July are blue or purple.

Rosemary is an important medicinal and aromatic plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family and widely cultivated and used all over the world for a long time.

Historically, rosemary was considered sacred and used for many purposes by the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Hebrews, and Romans. The Greeks wore garlands of rosemary around their heads while reading, as they believed it improved memory. Both the Greeks and Romans used rosemary at nearly all festivals and weddings as a reminder of life and death. Rosemary leaves and rosemary oil were widely used in Mediterranean cuisine. In Egypt, the plant and its extracts were used for incense. In the Middle Ages it was believed that rosemary could ward off the plague. With this belief, rosemary sprigs were often sprinkled on floors and left in doorways to keep disease at bay.

It has been used throughout civilizations in cosmetics and traditional medicine for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics.

Today, it is used for many benefits as well as being a culinary herb used to add a spicy or slightly medicinal flavor to some foods.
