Rosemary in your daily routine

In this article we take a close look at rosemary: its traditional use in Morocco, how to use it and general precautions.

Rosemary (إكليل الجبل (أزير))

Rosemary ("azir") grows in the Atlas; it flavours food and is traditionally used as a hair rinse.

How to use: One small spoon in a cup of hot (not boiling) water, 5–10 minutes, then strain. One or two cups a day.

Rosemary in a daily routine

• Traditional rinse: steep a handful of dried azir in hot water for 15 minutes, strain, cool, and use to rinse hair after washing.
• Keep it simple: one or two regular steps beat many irregular ones.
• Watch how your skin or hair responds and stop if any irritation appears.

Simple ways to cook with rosemary

• Simple infusion: a small spoon in a cup of hot water with a few mint leaves and a little honey, or add it to the teapot.
• Start with a small amount and try rosemary in one recipe before making it a habit.
• At family gatherings, rosemary can be served with tea or a traditional breakfast.
• Write down the recipe and amount you like so you can repeat the same taste.
