Rosemary has a wide variety of use outside of the kitchen. History reveals uses from using rosemary for depression, headaches, muscle spasms, rheumatism, skin ailments and wounds. It was also burned in early hospitals along with juniper berries to "cleanse the air" as it does have some antibacterial effects.

The food industry uses the oil as a natural protectant against food spoilage organisms. The antibacterial and antifungal activities have been documented towards mold, Staphylococcus aureus, and E coli.

History also reveals it's use as a memory enhancer. According to Dr James A. Duke, "Some evidence suggests that oxidative damage cuased by highly reactive (free radical) oxygen molecules in the body plays a role in Alzheimer's. If that's so, rosemary should help. It contains a couple of dozen antioxidants-that is, compounds that help mop up free radicals."

Rosemary oil should be used sparingly since over use can produce poisoning symptoms. Always follow the directions on the containers that you purchase.
