A star in the realms of circulation, this herb boosts circulation to the extremities, making it a geat remedy for cold hands and feet. Interestingly, this also relates to its affinity for matters of the head: by increasing circulation in the brain, rosemary cuts through stagnation & brain fog, lending itself to cognitive & memory support. Similarly, by supporting circulation to the scalp, it aids in optimal nutrient delivery there, & thus also in hair growth.
Bitter & pungent in flavor, rosemary is great for liver support and subsequently make it a carminative (reduces gas & bloatin) & a metabolism-boosting digestive stimulant.
She’s an antiviral, antifungal, & such a potent antibacterial that she was used in MUMMIFICATION by the ancient Egyptians. These properties make rosemary an ally to the microbiome as well as in the face of a cough or cold. For the later, we love to steam the herb to unlock its potential as an expectorant. To do this, simply pour hot water over rosemary in a bowl, & inhale the resulting aromatic steam while a towel covers your head and the bowl so that the valuable volatile oils don’t escape.
Due to its strength as an antispamodic, rosemary is the best natural cure for cramps that we’ve ever encountered.
Rosemary’s potent aromatic presence make it one of the most invigorating herbs in our apothecary. That energizing spirit lends itself to all of the circulatory skills outlined above, as well as it’s prowess as an anti-inflammatory herb, an antidepressant, & antioxidant-rich nootropic.
