Rosemary is one of the most widely used aromatic herbs in the kitchen, but not everyone knows how many other uses it can have thanks to its branches. Here are the.

We all know this  aromatic herb  and how much it   can make a difference when used in our dishes,  thanks to its unmistakable scent and the flavor it gives to food. However, rosemary is not only a great ally in the kitchen, but can also prove useful in many other areas thanks to its extreme versatility.  In addition, many people also put its plants on the balcony because they are very pretty to look at and have beautiful purple flowers. In addition to providing valuable support to our kitchen, the typical rosemary needles  and branches can also be used in many other ways: as a basic ingredient for excellent and natural  beauty products  and good, healthy infusions. This aromatic herb is in fact known for its many virtues and acts as a natural antiseptic, relieves coughs and is also a good aid in case of poor digestion.

In short, there are many uses and not everyone knows about them. Below we illustrate some of them that are easy to follow or implement without spending a lot of money and are capable of   solving some common problems in a natural and immediate way.

Rosemary sprigs: use them like this and you will see the result

For example, with just 10 sprigs of rosemary we can make an excellent  foot bath  that will help tired feet and at the same time provide relief from varicose veins. We must put the sprigs in a saucepan with 1 liter of water and let them simmer for at least 20 minutes. Once the heat is off, in a bowl we put 3 liters of warm water, 100 ml of apple cider vinegar  ,  a glass of coarse salt and of course our decoction, including the sprigs. 30 minutes of this treatment and our feet will be like new!

Are we left without  an anti-aging cream  ? No problem, rosemary helps here too. Prepare a decoction by putting 4 or 5 sprigs of rosemary in a saucepan with a cup of water and let it boil for about twenty minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix two teaspoons of oat or rice flour with a teaspoon of honey and then pour in the filtered decoction. We have created a mask that we apply to the face for 15 minutes. The skin will be regenerated.

Other cosmetics to make with this aromatic herb

Keeping our rosemary decoction as a base, we can then create a  tonic  that we will apply to the face once a day to make it more radiant and smooth. Simply add edible alcohol to our infusion, only 50 ml, and mix well.

And if we are unable to go to the hairdresser, we can  cover gray hair  with a homemade lotion. All we need is half a cup of rosemary needles and half of sage, plus 450 ml of water. After chopping the two herbs, add them to the pot and boil for at least 30 minutes. Then let it rest for 3 hours. Once it is filtered, we can apply it to the hair by repeating the process at least 15 times, collecting the liquid by placing a basin underneath and letting it act for 10 minutes before finally rinsing.
