28. Rosemary is a delicious herb that can be used in medicine or cooking.

Rosemary is an evergreen shrub native throughout much of the Mediterranean. Its resinous scent evokes pine trees and other evergreens. This plant is a common feature in many Italian and Greek recipes thanks to its bold, almost medicinal flavor. While they are difficult plants to start from seed, Rosemary plants thrive indoors once well-established, needing only bright light and routine watering. The plants are excellent oxygenators, and Rosemary leaves are useful in both cooking and herbal medicine. Rosemary is also excellent in beauty products and is commonly featured in astringents, shampoos, and conditioners. Its pleasant scent is also a perfect choice for sachets.
