Rosemary

Rosemary has been held in high regard as a culinary, cultural, and spiritual herb that has been cultivated for over 5,000 years for a nearly unlimited purpose.

Sprigs of Rosemary have been placed upon the graves of the deceased since Egyptian times to honor their life, as it’s associated with remembrance and memory. In Roman culture, many men wore crowns of Rosemary upon time for examination, believing it would help assist their memory. Lore has it that if someone is struck with a sprig of Rosemary containing an open bloom, they would soon fall in love.

Rosemary is a known antiseptic and anti inflammatory, but has shown to assist with digestion and air purification. The herb can be drank, inhaled, or thrown in with your favorite dish to help bring in its mild-sedative effects; it can be used as a regularly-used tonic. Rosemary or an oil-infusion with Rosemary can help reduce or prevent hair loss and promote hair growth when massaged gently into the scalp. This herb has shown to significantly slow down the aging of the human brain, be a neuroprotectant, and can improve eye health, when used as directed.

Very, very high doses of Rosemary can induce vomiting, coma, and pulmonary edema. The amount would have to be exorbitant, but always consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications. If you are on anticoagulants, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, or Lithium, you should reconsider internal use of Rosemary as a primary form of medicine.
