What would this do?

I was wondering if rosemary in water left for three days would do anything and is it safe if it does do anything?

Rosemary is a good cleansing tool, but can be drank as a tea, used for rejuvenating skin in a scrub. And awesome for riding your house of fleas.
So it is safe to let it sit in water a few days, but I wouldn't drink it then if i were you lol, I add it to my shampoo, actually helps me with my really dry skin. You could even purify it and use it as holy water.

Thank you

your welcome

Rosemary is considered a sacred/holy herb. It is used for protection, exorcism, banishment, blessing, consecrating, and a few other things I can't think of at the moment! Just google "Rosemary magick properties" and you should get a bunch of info.

If you seal it and refridgerate it while it sits for 3 days, you can drink it. It's best to use fresh rosemary in this case and bruise it (rub it between your fingers to produce the smell/oils).

An alternative would be to first heat the water to make an infusion with the rosemary, then refridgerate it when it cools without removing the rosemary for 3 days. This would be a more medicinal version. Rosemary is cleansing medicinally and magickally, so this would serve as a dual purpose.

You can use the 3 day period for water sitting out if you just plan to use it for blessing/consecrating/protection purposes (as a "holy water").

I personally prefer adding herbs to oil for annointing purposes. Fill a small glass container with a lid with the herbs you wish to use. Put it in a dark, cool area for 3 weeks. Then strain. I actually prefer not to strain because it looks pretty in the glass and I end up using it before it spoils. It all depends on what herbs/oils you're using and how well they keep.

Thank you that helped a lot thank you haha.

You're welcome =)
