ROSEMARY: In Greek mythology, Aphrodite was wrapped in rosemary when she rose from the sea. OREGANO: Ancient Greeks crowned brides and grooms with sprigs of oregano to banish sadness. LAVENDER: Cleopatra wore lavender perfume while seducing Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. In the 19th century, it was used to cure viper bites and swooning fits.

These are very interesting! I love herbs they are the gift of nature to humans and I'm consuming ginger daily. I'm amazed to hear Cleopatra used lavender to bring down the Roman leaders. Too much things I learned from this post!
