How to easily burn rosemary at home
You don’t need complicated equipment to enjoy the benefits of rosemary in fumigation. Here’s how:
- Take a dried sprig of rosemary (available in herbalists or dried at home).
- Light the end with a flame, then blow gently to extinguish the flame and allow the smoke to diffuse.
- Place the strand in a heat-resistant dish (such as a small terracotta container).
- Walk slowly through each room of the house, letting the smoke circulate gently.
Tip: You can also gently simmer fresh rosemary in a pan of hot water. This releases a beneficial steam that is just as effective, especially for humidifying the air in winter.
