The rosemary plant is excellent for repelling mosquitoes, our grandmothers knew this well. Having a rosemary plant can go a long way.
You can also prepare a spray, to be applied directly to the skin, to avoid annoying mosquito bites.
Cook the fresh or dried rosemary sprigs for 15-20 minutes, let them cool and pour the liquid into a bottle fitted with a spray diffuser.
Use the remedy as if it were a normal repellent. In addition to keeping mosquitoes away, it is also chemical-free and non-toxic.
Against the smell of sweat
One of the lesser-known properties of rosemary is its ability to neutralize bad odors.
This property is also very useful for eliminating bad odors, such as sweat, from laundry.
Place a few sprigs of rosemary in a bucket filled with warm water, then soak your clothes and let them soak for about 15 minutes, then rinse with more clean water.
Flavored salt
Rosemary salt is an excellent preparation that allows us to enrich our dishes with taste and flavor at the same time.
Mix 500 grams of salt with 5-6 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
Then pour the mixture onto a baking tray and bake at 50°C for 30 minutes.
Then let it cool and store in an airtight glass jar.
