Rosemary

Rosemary is best known as a condiment in Mediterranean cuisine. But it also has a symbolic value: rosemary stands for love. Before myrtle became fashionable, men presented the lady of their choice with a sprig of rosemary. Just like Shakespeare's Ophelia tied a rosemary wreath for her Hamlet ... Due to its high proportion of essential oils and its invigorating effect, rosemary should only be used sparingly as a spice and in tea.
