Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a perennial herb that is native to the Mediterranean region, specifically the coastal areas of southern Europe and northern Africa. It has been cultivated and used for culinary and medicinal purposes for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks and Romans considered rosemary to be a sacred plant and believed it had various healing properties.
