Rosemary Blue Flower For Freshness

Rosemary is an evergreen pale blue flower which has a sweet scent and grows in clusters. This has narrow leaves and flowers that are green on top and grey underneath. Dried leaves of the rosemary plant are often used for cosmetic and hygiene products. When dried, the leaves are brownish green in color and have a tea-like fragrance.

Dried rosemary leaves are used to produce volatile oil which is then used in the production of perfumes and medicines. However, rosemary oil sometimes causes allergic reactions; hence it should be used only after consulting a doctor and getting a prescription. It may also cause vomiting and spasms, so never consume it orally. Pregnant and breastfeeding or nursing women are advised to avoid using this oil. Excessive use may lead to a miscarriage or may affect the fetus. Some studies also suggest that rosemary essential oil may trigger epileptic episodes.
