Rosemary: Memory, Medicine & Morning Showers
Rosemary
“For memory, for clarity, and for skin that sings.”
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is more than just a fragrant kitchen herb — it's a sacred plant ally long revered for its ability to boost memory, awaken clarity, and support circulation. We’ve foraged wild rosemary in the hills of Wiltshire and worked with it intuitively — dehydrating sprigs, infusing oils, and using its essence in shampoo and shower gel to soothe sensitive skin and ease psoriasis.
Benefits of Rosemary
- Improves circulation and scalp health
- Supports memory and mental clarity
- Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial for skin conditions

Sacred & Traditional Uses
In folk tradition, rosemary was burned in homes to cleanse the space and protect against negative energies. It’s known as a plant of remembrance, used in ritual to honor ancestors, awaken inner knowing, and sharpen the mind’s eye. Often carried in medicine pouches or placed in baths, rosemary connects us to clarity, heart, and root.
Ben’s note: “This plant’s strength shows up in gentle ways. We've seen firsthand how wild rosemary calms inflammation, nourishes the scalp, and invites focus — a beautiful bridge between body and mind.”
