In this episode, I’m sharing six important rosemary plant benefits including a recipe for rosemary tapenade, which is a great way to address chronic inflammation (in a delicious way!). I love rosemary not only for how it smells, but also because this plant truly blurs the line between what is food and medicine. In other words, this is a potent medicinal hiding in your kitchen cabinet!
When might you reach for rosemary?
► To boost your memory, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve sleep quality.
► As a support for the heart and circulatory system, which is susceptible to oxidative stress. (Watch the whole episode to find out which herb British herbalist Jeremy Ross recommends pairing with rosemary for heart health…and when)
► To enhance your digestion, whether your digestion tends to be slow or cold or whether you’re eating a “heavy” meal
These are just a few of the occasions when rosemary can be your ally… But there are more, so tune in to the entire episode for all the details on the many medicinal benefits of the rosemary plant!
After listening in, you’ll know:
► The best way to get your daily dose of antioxidants
► Which worked better for pain with menstruation: rosemary or NSAIDs
► What dosage of rosemary resulted in a significant beneficial effect on cognitive function in an elderly population in one short-term study
► Who needs to show caution in working with rosemary
► and much more

Love you very educational information ❤
I want a rosemary plant but they always seem to die on me. Ugh.
thank you
how can i take rosmeray for memory ?
Greetings Rosalee! 🌿I always look forward to your YouTube videos. I learn something new about the plants every time. It goes to show…healing properties of herbs are not exhaustive. We're always discovering something else about plants everyday!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! 🧡🍁🍂
Are there different Rosemary varieties ?
If so, are there varieties that are better ?
I LOVE rosemary!! 😊
I love your new look long hair. It suits you very well. Thank you for your book I bought recently and this rosemary video. I mince rosemary to use in soups. There's lots of rosemary growing in a park garden I frequent regularly. I always run my hands through some as I wait for a bus.
What great timing!! I just started infusing rosemary in oil to make an herbal soap! 😊 (The other herbs being Rose Hips and Red Clover – all things I foraged in the woods!) Thank you Rosalee for sharing all your amazing knowledge!!
Just so happens I have a simmer pot, complete with fresh Rosemary sprigs, simmering on my stovetop as I am watching this video! Delightful!!! Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge with us! I've used your methods for making Rosemary Oil and am enjoying using it to promote hair growth. Wondering…what do you recommend as the best way to use Rosemary for enhanced cognitive function???
Such a great video! I learned so much!
Thank you!! I LOVE Rosemary 😍
I can’t remember if you had bangs before but your hair is cute!
I love you and appreciate your newsletter.
I have rosemary plants.I hope I can save it through winter
What a great informational video. You're very pleasant in your presentation as well, and I'm so glad to showed up in my suggested videos! That sweater is what caught my eye though! It's gorgeous. I crochet (even as I watch this) and I'm guessing yours is knit…or something beyond my skill level. It looks lovely on you!
My dad has Dementia… It is my belief that rosemary sure can't hurt on so many levels.
I grind rosemary up in a coffee grinder and mix it with olive oil of whipped butter. It's such an amazing herb!
Great information, so timely. Thank you ❤
Thank you ❤
What a wonderful channel, have no idea how I stumbled onto this, thank you for what you are graciously teaching and giving (freely) to all who stumble over your way. I have ordered your book "Alchemy of Herbs" and signed up for your emails. I am so eagerly to grow in how I can aid those around me with simplicities to living healthy, joyful lives. Despite what is literally dumped on us. Thank you =o)
Loved this video and the flowers aside you! I use rosemary in cooking all the time and when I share my meals w/ family they always rave on how delicious and different the meal is beyond what they're use to. They always act astonished when I describe what I incorporate. Its so beautiful to witness their amazement. ❤❤❤
Very pretty sweater, ❤️Rosemary, and your background nature sounds are lovely.
I have never seen my Rosemary have purple flowers
Where do I buy your books? Amazon?
What a lovely video and Dahlia and recipes and pullover. Can you please let me know what's the name of the pattern? Thank you very much. Can't wait for a new video.
Here's my cooking tip. When making soup and it's pretty good, but something is missing and you can't put your finger on it… Rosemary!
I have used Rosemary as a soak for sprained ankles in the past and hand pain (arthritis or injury) more recently. I use a pan large enough to soak in, a good amount of water, herb, with stems, bring to boil, then use as soak. I find I can heat it up 3 or 4 times. Luckily I have a friend who has a very large bush!
Improves pain and swelling. The water turns a beautiful shade of red, I think it could probably be used to stain papers, if you are interested!
Thanks for sharing ur knowledge about rosemary i love rosemary tea i drink the nightly
Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs. I absolutely love the smell. I live in the North East and have about five rosemary plants but they have never bloomed or looked as beautiful as the photos you showed. I’ll keep enjoying it anyhow. I love rosemary and lemon. I love it cold with a touch of honey. It’s a refreshing rosemary lemonade 😊Thank you for your great videos. I also love your books.
Here's Just a Glimpse Of What You'll Find in Cooking with Herbs for Health
6:03 I love the flowers. What's the name?
Our pygmy goats love to use our rosemary shrub trees to scrub their heads. They invariably break off small limbs, so in the sprigs go to dry & use. My better half makes an amazing rosemary roast chicken. Rosemary is definitely one of our favorites.
