7 amazing things you can do with rosemary
1. Against gray hair:
Rosemary is known for its ability to darken hair and hide gray hair. Prepare an infusion with rosemary sprigs and use it as a rinse after washing to encourage hair growth and give it a darker, shinier appearance.
2. For oily hair:
If your hair tends to be oily, rosemary can be your ally. Prepare an infusion with the twigs and use it to rinse your hair after washing. Rosemary helps regulate sebum production on the scalp, keeping hair fresh and clean for longer.
3. Against mosquitoes:
The aroma of rosemary is unpleasant to mosquitoes and other flying insects. Place sprigs of rosemary in outdoor areas where you usually spend time, such as the garden or balcony, to keep these annoying insects at bay.
4. Against the smell of sweat:
Rosemary has antibacterial and natural deodorant properties, which makes it an excellent option to combat the smell of sweat that remains impregnated in your clothes.
In a bucket with warm water, put a few sprigs of rosemary. Then put the clothes that smell like sweat and let them soak for about 30 minutes. After this time, rinse them well and wash them as usual.
