The species name, ‘officinalis,’ in was often given to plants and animals that embodied a long history of traditional use and health lore. Rosemary was used by ancient healers in dealing with a variety of issues including skin problems, respiratory disorders, flatulence, constipation, menstrual discomfort, hair loss, dandruff, mood, and improving memory. The ancient Greeks believed rosemary stimulated the mind and improved memory, so sprigs of the herb were often woven into garlands or taken into exams by scholars.
