It is used in a wide variety of dishes and it’s essential oil is also important for its powerful antibacterial properties. Additionally, the oil helps repel some blood-sucking insects, such as particular mosquitoes and ticks.Since rosemary is attractive and tolerates some degree of drought, it is also used in landscaping, especially in areas having a Mediterranean climate.
