Rosemary water (boil as tea) is great for hair and face - spray on face daily = cleans skin, spray on hair and sculp and massage it in 3x a week = beautiful, healthy and strong hair 🤩
what a lovely idea to use for the scalp!
giving Rosemary as a gift is a sign of friendship.
100% agree! Thank you Windy.
The rosemary I have rn was given to me from a new friendship this comment is good to know it’s basically what started our friendship lol
your first Instinct when you do cuttings should be: give some to your neighbours. trimmings this big are great to start a new plant. Right now I have 3 big trimmings from one of my neighbours I try to root. If they all start roots, one goes into my backyard (near to the kitchen) one goes to my front yard ( where there is more sun) and one becomes a gift for someone else. If both do well in the garden they will be added to the stuff I regulary give away. Giving away stuff that grows in your garden is one of the easiest way to build up mutual support in your local community.
If you pane ahead with your cuttings, you can root them before hand that has a greater success rate in replanting.
I so agree with giving away from your garden building community. I still have people tell me how they remember cuttings from this rosemary. Thanks for the support!
Infuse it in light olive oil with lemon peel and garlic. Heat it on the stove (don't cook it) in the oil, then strain it. Put some fresh sprigs in a pretty glass jar with fresh lemon peel and some garlic cloves and fill with your infused oil. Beautiful on salmon and roast chicken. Makes a lovely gift too :) Loved your video, thank you for all the great ideas!
Oh wow - lemon, garlic, and rosemary. What a lovely combo!
Glad you enjoyed the video. :-)
Thanx Julie
Thanks for that

Dry, then pulverize in processor with baking soda, sprinkle in smelly shoes! Also, put some sprigs in ur vacuum cleaner bag. Rooms smell great after vacuuming!
Oh my word I love this idea!
Nothing any better than roasted small potatoes with rosemary, yummy and the whole house smells great.
I LOVE rosemary with roasted potatoes. I also just added some to our bone broth in the crock pot this weekend. Wow.
Infuse hot water steep for a few minutes drink it as Hot tea. put this tea on to my dog dry food it helps her digestive system work better.
@junedalepalacat9781 what a genius idea to use it to help your dog's digestive system! Way to go.
I made a wreath with the branches to hang in my kitchen. It came out beautiful!
Raquel, what a great idea! I look forward to trying that. Your kitchen must smell lovely.
Thanks #RaquelTello I'll give that one a try for sure - have a blessed week John 3:17
How long did the wreath last?
Doesn't it cause a huge mess as soon as the rosemary dried up?
I would love to see it
I just started a Rosemary tincture with dried Rosemary, a few cloves and vodka. Looking forward to a versatile and beneficial addition to my medicine cabinet within a few weeks. 😊
love the idea of adding cloves to it, too!
Dries fast in your car in the heat of summer.🤗
That would make your car smell nice
I adore cooking with Rosemary. I bake it into bread, Roast it with garlic for jars of roasted garlic and rosemary. Grind it with salt, for rosemary salt. I dry it with other herbs and make mixed blends. I infuse it with olive oil, butters and vinegars. All of which make great gifts as well when I have to much!
with garlic roasted? Oh, that sounds like heaven
I like to make hair oil with rosemary (infusing it in olive oil/ almond oil for 8 weeks, shaking it daily) and hair rinse (pour hot boiling water to about two tablespoons of rosemary, letting it steep until lukewarm and using it as my last rinses after having washing out the shampoo).
Litchey this is brilliant!
Awesome video. I chop up rosemary and use it to fragrance my homemade carpet deodorizer. Ingredients are:
1 Cup Baking soda
1/3 Cup cornstarch
1 Tbsp chopped rosemary
Few drops of Lemon essential oil.
Mix this all up and sprinkle in your carpets and rugs and wait 20 minutes. Then vacuum😊
What a fantastic idea as a carpet deodorizer!
I’m going to try this. Thank you for the suggestion. 😃
One rosemary bush (tree?) is all any family needs, its such a great carefree plant. I don't water mine and it doesn't rain here for up to 8 months in the hot summer. I have two and have way too much of it, lol.
You made me laugh! Tree is true. So much of it to share.
Rosemary is my favorite plant of all. I didnt even know they existed until I left my country, Afghanistan. I just love the smell so much.
Definitely a refreshing scent.
Tea yes drink it . Amazing fresh is awesome dried yum and add a mug full of this heavenly mix great gift idea I never have enough of this lung clearing magic
Great gift idea as a tea -- I'll add that to my Christmas gift giving list.
Put them in vase and within no time they grow shoots and then you have a living plant to give to friends. Thank you for sharing your brilliance. xx
You are welcome, Elizabeth! And super fun idea about the shoots. We accidentally found that out with our sweet basil this year, too! (Unfortunately after I made the basil video ... hmmm...sounds like I need to do a video on rooting these) 🙂
My nan used to infused it in rubbing alcohol and keep it in her bedside table so she could use it in her joints whenever needed. Also, you can leave some macerating in olive oil as a great addition to your salad dressing, in hummus, on bread... It's just perfect!! 🥰👌
What a COOL idea to use on joints! I've not tried that, but may take it up after my runs.
I've been using my (very little!) rosemary pruning to make tea. A mounded teaspoon of fresh rosemary leaves which I cut into smaller pieces with my kitchen shears is good for a decent size mug. Put in a tea infuser in your mug, pour boiling water over and let steep for 5 minutes. I've read that steeping longer gives a bitter taste. Said to be anti-aging and good for cognition -- anyway, those are my hopes! :-)
I've definitely heard those benefits of rosemary, too. Yes, steeping it can make it bitter. But it is worth a try. If it does for you, a little mint added in toward the end may help prevent that.
Thank you so much and hallelujah my grandmother has dementia and has about five of these bushes in front of her yard I’m going to start her tea today
I use it as a tonic to relax my nerves, it works very well, as it's full of vital nutrients. Something else I use it for is a hair rinse. It works wonders for the scalp and hair. God bless you.
Thank you! What a fantastic idea to use as a hair rinse. Genius.
there is a good way to make a tea with rosemary and cloves ...so good for health a daily drink !
Maryann nice combination!
Maryann nice combination!
Awesome herbal tea! Mixed with peppermint ginger root cinnamon. Whole cloves, grated apple, lemon zest. Yummmy! I also do one with thyme oregano rosemary mint lime juice lemon zest & lemon juice. Lightly sweeten with honey or monk fruit sugar. Hot or iced its awesome!
These all sound delicious, Marie! Rosemary and cloves I've not tried...unique combo. Thank you!
They are called 'sprigs' the twig/branches and I take mine to farmers market as a booth and sell bundles or make rosemary infused oil for hair treatments. Lastly and importantly you can easily grow new bushes from the cuttings, an amazing gift or sale item or to put rosemary elsewhere in the garden
Morgan - what a beautiful idea to grow new bushes to give as gift. We have a few places rosemary bushes have died -- so I may start new ones from the old plants to fill in the gaps.
great video!! I learn new things..
Make rosemary tea to drink, it's wonderful with lemon and if you wish, honey.
Sally, what a delicious idea! Thank you.
Wow amazing tips 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for these fantastic ideas!! I’m so glad I have the plant now!! 🙏🙏
You are welcome. Enjoy using your rosemary!
You can put as much as will fit in a zip lock bag in the freezer. The essential oils will not evaporate and just putting a couple of sticks in will be a waste of plastic
Great job well done 🥰🥰🥰
Thnx dear stay blessed 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I just stated my Herb garden. Wow I never saw so much rosemary. I really enjoyed this video.
Regina so excited you've started. Yes, rosemary bushes get big when you don't trim (like I missed doing for a while). You'll love an upcoming video talking about holy basil and sweet basil.
Thank you for this video! Super useful ideas
Alice, you are so welcome. Glad the ideas are ones you can use. Any one in particular stand out? :-)
Thanks for all the ideas!! Very useful!
You are welcome! Glad it was useful.
Thank you so much for your tips.😊
Wow! Love this video. Thank you for sharing.
@harriettpavonrosado5175 thanks so much! You are super welcome. What are you going to try from it?
Great Tip, thanks
Tony, you are welcome.
Thank you I will uses these tips ,
Sarah - so glad you will be using the ideas.
Thanks🌸🌺
This was great information. thanks for the share
You are so welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
I throw it onto my wood burner .... magic
Oh my! Your house must smell lovely!
Thankful for this plant and your ideas; ♥️ Rosemary. I had put some branches on fireplace mantle between pictures. Enjoyed the comments from neighbors n friends who entered in family room.
On a fireplace mantle! I'll have to try that too
For X-mas I made from three small branches a star, binding it with sparkling thread, so you could hang it on your tree.
I love this idea! What a way to make Christmas smell even better.
Thank you, I have 4 rosemary bushes and recently cleaned them up, I was able to harvest over 5 gallons of it. (One of those 5 gallon Home Depot buckets) Lol I was amazed. My father loves putting it around our windows and doors.
5 gallons!!! Wow! Very nice around windows and doors.
So I have yet used it cooking but think now Im going to give it a try. Thank you for the the video.
Seth - glad to hear it!
You can use those woody stems as skewers for shrimp marinate in olive oil and garlic and choice of herbs then throw them on the Barbie delicious
That is genius, Gay. What a way to infuse any grilled/barbequed recipe. Love it.
Some people gave me a rosemary bush that was 4'x4' and it was 80 out so I tied the bush upside down to hang for a week then stripped the needles from the bush and put the needles in a gallon jar for cooking in the kitchen. I used some of the sticks and ran meat threw them and baked the meat, great flavor. Some if they rosemary wood was used in my smoker. Awesome taste to the meat.
Jeffery what a cool idea to have them in a gallon jar ready to cook
Especially lamb I have found.
Haven't read all the comments yet but how about making a pillow with it? You could insert Rosemary and with a polyfill. Thank you for the great video love it!
Debbie, glad you are here! What a lovely idea! You are the first to have that addition. And you are very welcome. What other topics would you like me to cover?
@@ViREOLife I would love to see some videos on hair loss because of alopecia and / or autoimmune disease. For instance what foods, herbs will help with that. Thank you so much!
@@debbieriffel3846 great topic! I've worked with clients with autoimmune issues, so I'll see if that's a fit for a video. Thank you for the idea!
You can put some rosemary inside your pillow. It's wonderful!
Sweet dreams
oh my word that sounds heavenly, Carmen. I've used lavender like that, but not rosemary. Thank you.
I put a lot of rosemary in a high cristal vase in a water with a little baking soda and no other flowers or stems. Simple but beautiful and longlasting.
Ana, what a cool trip with the baking soda!
@@ViREOLife soda helps to stay fresh for a long time :-)
@@anaceleste2631 perfect!
Great tips from you, I have made decors with bows above kitchen and dining rooms archways, the aroma sends a message of peace, serenity, nature's freshness.
Love the idea of putting over archways!
Thsnks for sharing
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. (And enjoy your rosemary)
I make rosemary shortbread cookies. Delicious
Lisa, that sounds lovely! I'm stealing that idea for some muffins I'm making today. :-)
Wow, I had no idea rosemary had so many uses. I'm excited to try some new things
Glad you will be. Let us know how it goes.
@@ViREOLife I found bugs on my rosemary...any tips on how to remove without chemical bug spray?
@@slangoftheregions if they are aphids or whiteflies, a strong jet of water works great. If rosemary beetle, the Royal Horticultural Society has a good video on that.
Great question.
Thank you very much
Patima, you are very welcome
I am looking forward to finally using our rosemary with some of these methods. Great video!
Rebekah, so glad to hear it! You will do great. Is rosemary used in TCM any?
And thank you for sharing :-)
A friend just gave me a rosemary plant and I had no idea what to do with it. Now I do! Yey! Thanks ❤️
Excited you were given a rosemary plant. Such a lovely taste in dishes, and versatile in the house. Enjoy!
I'll share great video thanks
Rosemary - thank you for sharing this video. You are inspiring others!
Chicago IL USA
Thanks great info
Masoom, glad it was helpful!
Thank you for all the ideas!
I have a rosemary bush that took on a life of its own while I wasn't able to do anything in my yard due to a bad back. The bush is massive, to say the least (6 feet in diameter, and about 5 high). I had the idea of making a wreath for Christmas and cut a few branches back, but I had no idea that I could use it for so much more!
Eva - you are welcome. They do grow massive and woody over time, don't they?
Be sure to scan the other comments. Several new ideas go added in the thread -- scented oil, wreath...
I'm adding ground rosemary to the body shampoo smell great.
Robert - that is a great idea!
Dear ViREO Life, I will also use it in making my bathing soap.
Betty - how creative. That takes talent to make your own soap.
Good information
Jamila, thank you. Glad it is helpful.
Thankyou so much
Good tips
Like🇩🇰🌹
Glad it was helpful
Thanks for this. I have a lot of Rosemary and learned a lot of helpful ways to put into use. Def going to share this information & the plant with friends!❤️
Morgan - I know your friends will love it as much as my friends do. A few comments down, ck out the listener idea about olive oil. Great for gifts!
thanks
You are welcome!
My Rosemary is huge, hanging out of a very large pot and these tips are great! Thanks #VireoLife for sharing this ;D John 3:17
#GottaBeHandmade so glad you enjoyed it! Happy to help. And thanks for sharing the verse.
Thanks Gorgeous
Thank you, I cut and share, I also cut and put in a vase through the house
It makes the house smell so good, doesn't it?
Thanks
You are welcome
Nice ideas
So glad! Enjoy.
I have frozen some of mine, but I am definitely gonna try with the bugs I love out in the country and I am surrounded by old oak trees 🌳 and pecan trees we get all types of little critters especially when we have the cows in front field. I think i am also going to use it in my closet as well. I have a diffuser that stays on, but I bought 2 small rosemary bushes last yr and they have almost tripled in size, so I have it to spare.
Thanks for the great ideas 💡
Tammy, glad to hear it. Yes, they grow fast ... which spurred my experimenting. Another listener mentioned creating a wreath. That may work in the closet too. Glad you are here.
Make Rosemary tea. A few sprigs covered with boiling water. Brilliant for memory & concentration especially during exam time and also a "pick up" for energy if you feeling tired & sluggish
Yes, Jill, oh how good rosemary tea is! Thanks for sharing.
Love your Video ❤️I se Rosemary in our 🔥pit to keep bug away👏
Maria, you made my day! Using it in the firepit is brilliant! I'll pass that idea along to my neighbors who have one.
Aloha hugs waited all this time on my watch later list & only saw 4 way to use it plus your head was cut off
Which made you video fun to watch going out to harvest mine now. I have many new one starting. See my garden some day
Kathy, that's interesting that you saw it with my head cut off 🙂 Enjoy using all that you harvest and starting new ones.
Great tips, thanks! I fill mini bottles with olive oil , tuck one branch of rosemary inside all (make sure it is beneth the oil) and give it as gifts when I am the host. Also this was in my homemade new year’s presents basket this year :)
What a personal touch for a hosting gift. And I love the idea of New Year's basket gifts. Lovely.
This is such a cute idea, if you dont mind me asking do you dry the rosemary first?
Quetzal HL Thanks! :)) No, I don’ dry the rosemary. As long as the rosenary is fully submerged in the oil, it will be safe :)
Love this, can the olive oil be substituted with sunflower 🌻 oil and still reap all the benefits ?
@@denisabowling637 The taste will not be as striking, but possible :)
Really good and informative video.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. Anything fun you are going to do from it?
ViREO Life ......well I actually bought a small rosemary plant and intend to use it in my cooking.....especially since I’m cooking all meals at the moment! May use some of the other ideas. I like using it with as greenery with flowers.
@@jbryson4666 Yes, I love it as greenery with flowers. And glad you are cooking your meals right now. Hope you are well.
Rosemary garlic salt is a great way to use up all your extra rosemary!
Debby - I love this idea! I've got some extra dried shallots ... so I may make a rosemary shallot salt. Lovely.
If you know, you know
SPRIGS! You remembered on your own. Im typing as I listen to your video....😂 i was gong to remind you, but you got it...
How fun is that.
Great video and love all the comments thanks. Just bought some herbs and learning to use them.
You are welcome! Yes, the comment thread has been full of even more ideas. So excited for your herb fun. Enjoy!!!
I just thought of the video where I interviewed Colonial Herb Farms. Since you are learning to use herbs, it may be helpful, too.

here in New Jersey I was wondering if September would be a good time to bring it inside and have it all year-round it's in a pot last year I kept it outside and it rotted away in a apartment so I can keep it near a window what do you think about that need some feedback I'm going to buy a plant already started in a couple weeks I have Italian reggano I have in a pot inside until it gets warmer and 50 degrees above at night
Great question. Two thoughts - Sept/Oct, yes. Before it is buried under snow.
Also, Arp Rosemary is one of the most hardy for cold weather
Thanks ok I have some in bottle And store brought can I do that like you're doing
Kim that's great! You're welcome.
I would like to use the branches as skewers. Do you know if the branches have to be freshly picked or can they be stored for a later date.? I have a lot of Rosemary and Lavender plants and am trying to figure out a way to make a little money to pay my water bill. lol
Ellen, lovely idea. Yummy. They don't need to be fresh picked for skewer. Either DRY or FREEZE. (In the fridge they'll eventually mold after a couple of months.)
Have fun with it.
Make herb infused oils is one. rosemary you can put in olive oil for cooking. gently heat for a few minutes and it gets infused into the oil.
Arun - great idea!
I think some rosemary infused oil would probably be good to cook with although I do not know how to do that I’m sure it’s somewhere on Google or RUclips
Infused oil turns out to be pretty simple ... a light olive oil with rosemary sprigs in it for a few weeks. Delicious!
I chop it up small and ad it to salad or dressing.
Wow! As much as I cook with it I'd never thought of adding it to a dressing. Thanks for sharing your idea. :-)
Infuse a good stem of rosemary in cup of earl grey tea with milk if you like.
Earl grey with rosemary! Sounds delicious!
Give them to garbage collectors on garbage days. They ♡love the fragrance of rosemary on garbage days.
That's creative and caring! Great idea.
Rosemary smudge sticks!!
Oh what a cool idea!
How do you get that much ? I would love to have that much rosemary! We live in Minneapolis
That's a great question haydeh. We found that Arp rosemary was more cold hardy for our area, so this plant was able to grow for a few years. Definitely check with your local nurseries to find what variety could work for Minneapolis winters, even if you have to pot it and bring it in some.
I bet you could've rooted the stem and made the leftover woody parts into a live bonsai
Lovely idea ... a bonsai from a rosemary bush.
Rosemary it is an estimulante hair growth I use in my champo for 4 days and take the branch out to avoid molding
What a refreshing idea! Love it.
Do you have to wash it first before drying
I never have. Bugs don't typically like it and nothing has been sprayed on it.
Wow the bugs don’t like them! I have brought a lot of wood into the house and there is a lot of bugs on them this year. So ironic I have too much rosemary to winter in the house. They have a job to do. I’ll stack the rosemary into the pile. The basement will smell so much better as well. Your video was so helpful to me. Thank you!
Lisa, I am thrilled the video was so helpful to you. Yes, the basement will smell wonderful with the rosemary. Good job putting that extra rosemary to work. :-)
Thank you for sharing! I think that I want to do tea bags handcraft gift for family and friends. You have a Blessed day.
Maria, you are welcome. Tea bags ... super idea. You have blessed day, too.
You can make a new plant out of the stems. You just need to cut a single stem and put it in water for a month (until it grows roots) then put it in some dirt. I would watch some RUclips videos on Rosemary propagation. It’s so easy
Lizette - fabulous idea! Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
Thank you for this. I bought a plant in April and put it in a container at the end of a garden box and it is growing so nicely. I wanted to add another one or two. Will definitely try this!
thank you. I tried it for 1 week, looked at it starting to dry and say, naa
They would be great to add to sage or lavender bundles for smudging
Mary, what a creative idea! Thank you for adding to the list.
It's amazing with sage!
I learned that you can put it between your clothes as a moths repellent. Thanks for your video and others ideas.
Awesome! Yes, rosemary is fantastic as bug repellent
Will it stop wasps near my front door
Can. Make a little bussines out of it.you should grow indoor. Little peppermint they grow fast and is aromatic .
Good to open the luungs to a better healthier breathing .
I don’t know but came to know that drinking Rosemary tea 🍵 would be healthy!
Yes, wonderful idea!
Tea ..condiments . Other day I notice a new type of Dely
Rosemary ham tasted good
To garnish .
To aroma the place
For curative medical purposes
Own person bussines . As well
Getting close to those 9 ways.
I love the idea of using it to scent a room.
