Rosemary (Rosemarinus Officinalis) is an aromatic herb that “warms” and stimulates circulation. Its astringent (ability to contract body tissues and canals) and antiseptic nature stimulates metabolic processes in the skins dermal layer.

Rosemary is a woody herb with fragrant evergreen needle-like leaves. It is native to the Mediterranean region, and grows up to a height of 1.5 meter (5 feet).

Flowering is very common in a mature and healthy specimen. It blooms in summer in the north; but can be ever blooming in warm-winter climates and is variable in color, being white, pink, purple, or blue.

The name rosemary derives from the Latin name rosmarinus. “Ros" = dew, and “marinus” = sea, which forms the name "dew of the sea" — apparently because it is frequently found growing near the sea.

The fresh and dried leaves are used frequently in traditional Mediterranean cuisine; they have a bitter, astringent taste and are highly aromatic, which complements a wide variety of foods.

Rosemary is extremely high in iron, calcium and Vitamin B6 and is a powerful anti-oxidant.

In herbal medicine, rosemary has traditionally been used internally to stimulate appetite, as supportive therapy for rheumatism and circulatory problems, and for headaches, as well as for nervous complaints.

Externally, rosemary helps to increase circulation and is very often used in hair care products and lotions as it stimulates the hair follicles to renewed activity and prevents premature baldness.

Because of its good antiseptic properties, rosemary is traditionally used for hair and scalp stimulation. Furthermore, it has analgesic as well as antibacterial, antifungal and anti-parasitic properties.

Natural organic Rosemary is an essential part of Paul Penders hair and scalp treatment products.

As well as the finest natural organic rosemary is an obvious integral part of LevensESSENTIE Gold^® herbal extract - the basic ingredient of all Paul Penders products.
