💆‍♀️ 5. Hair and Scalp Treatment

Rosemary has long been used in natural hair care. Steep rosemary in hot water, let it cool, and use it as a rinse to help stimulate the scalp and add shine to your hair. It may even support hair growth!


🕯 6. DIY Candles or Sachets

Dried rosemary works beautifully in homemade candles or sachets. Combine with lavender or mint for a calming scent in drawers, closets, or linen cupboards.


🧊 7. Freeze for Later

Chop rosemary and freeze it in olive oil using an ice cube tray. Pop out a cube whenever you need to start a dish—it’s the perfect base for soups, sauces, and sautés.


🌱 Bonus: Rosemary Repels Insects

Did you know rosemary naturally repels mosquitoes and other bugs? Toss fresh sprigs on the grill to keep pests away during outdoor meals, or place pots of rosemary near your patio to act as a natural deterrent.

Rosemary isn’t just another herb—it’s an all-purpose powerhouse. So the next time you find yourself with more rosemary than you think you need, remember: there’s always a way to use it. Whether you’re enhancing your food, refreshing your home, pampering your hair, or even repelling mosquitoes, this humble herb has got you covered.

Never toss it—treasure it instead.
