Along with its fantastic decoration and distinct taste, rosemary also has medicinal uses. Listed below are some of the popular health benefits of rosemary 1. Detoxify the Body Rosemary is somewhat diuretic in nature, which means it can help flush out toxins more efficiently during urination. Additionally, by increasing the rate at which water leaves the body, it can also help push out pathogens, salts, toxins, and even additional fat when consumed regularly. In terms of the particular organ it benefits, rosemary has been associated to lower levels of cirrhosis and a faster healing time of the liver, which is one of the slowest organs to heal.(1) 2. Immune System Strength The active components in rosemary are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic in nature. This signifies a three-pronged attack against many different diseases as well as pathogens that might threaten the immune system or damage the integrity of the body. Antioxidant compounds form a secondary line of defense behind the body's own immune system, and rosemary contains a significant amount of those powerful compounds, like rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, betulic acid, and carnosol.(2) 3. Antibacterial Potential Rosemary consists of impressive amount of immune boosting components, which is specifically powerful against bacterial infections, particularly those in the stomach. H. pylori bacteria are common and very dangerous pathogens that cause stomach ulcers, but rosemary has been shown to prevent its growth when consumed. Similarly, rosemary is related to preventing Staph infections, which kill thousands of people each year.(3) 4. Mood and Stress The aroma of rosemary has been connected to improving mood, clearing the mind, and relieving stress in those with chronic anxiety or stress hormone imbalances. When the plant is consumed or applied topically in some sort of salve of the leaves, it can have similar effects. Aromatherapy also uses rosemary essential oil for this purpose, but that concentration of active components isn't necessary to have positive effects on stress and mood.(4) 5.

Memory Booster Regular consumption of rosemary is extremely beneficial for improving memory. It was said to improve memory and help to increase intelligence and focus. Though many of those claims are still being researched and studied, its effects on the brain do indicate an increase in memory retention, which is never a bad thing; keeping your mind quick will help to keep it young. Apart from that, rosemary has been related to stimulating cognitive activity in the elderly, as well as those suffering from more acute cognitive disorders, like Alzheimer's or dementia. This is an exciting alternative or supplement to more modern treatment for these as yet uncured conditions.(6) 7. Pain Relief Due to its analgesic substance, rosemary has been topically applied in a paste or salve for hundreds of years to the affected area of the pain. When consumed orally, rosemary acts as a pain reliever for harder to reach spots, like headaches and pain from a condition. In fact, one of the most popular uses of rosemary is for the treatment of migraines. Using a decoction to the temples or just smelling the aroma of rosemary has been related to reducing the severity of migraine symptoms.(7) 8.

One way to make use of this for migraines is to boil water with rosemary and to breathe in the steam. Typically, you'll want to boil the water first, then place it into a large bowl and breathe it in with a towel over your head and the bowl. 9. Stimulate Blood Flow Rosemary acts as a stimulant for the body and increases the production of red blood cells and blood flow. This helps to oxygenate vital organ systems and areas of the body, confirming that the metabolic activities in those areas are running effortlessly, in addition to stimulating the movement of nutrients to cells that require repair.(8) 10.

Rosemary is effective in oral or topical form for these anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, the reduction in inflammation in the cardiovascular system can help to boost heart health and prevent atherosclerosis from appearing. 12.
