Could rosemary be the “Fountain of Youth”? Rosmarinus or more commonly known as Rosemary is one of the few herbs you can instantly distinguish by its short needle leaves, and distinctive aroma. It is generally used as a seasoning. My favorite pairings are chicken, duck, salmon, roasted potatoes, tomatoes, soups and stews. Did you know rosemary is one of the leading anti-aging herbs for brain health, memory care, fighting wrinkles, fine lines and stimulating hair growth?
Health Benefits
Rosemary not only makes foods taste amazing, it actually has healing properties. Other benefits of rosemary include anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antispasmodic, circulation stimulant, digestive and nerve tonic. Traditionally rosemary has been used to bring relief to headaches, migraines, nervous exhaustion and memory enhancement.
Have you ever read the back of a hair growth serum bottle? Many hair, eyebrow and eyelash growth serums list rosemary as the active ingredient. An infusion of rosemary leaves aids in the stimulation of the scalp, conditioning and strengthening of the hair shaft.
Running low on energy? Rosemary is known to increase the blood flow resulting in elevated energy levels. Infused leaves also aid in digestive issues.
Uses for Rosemary
I love a good cup of hot tea on a cold day. Rosemary tea aids in reducing the swelling and pain of inflammation in joints. I simply add a few sprigs of rosemary to hot water and let it steep for a few minutes.. Add lemon and honey if desired.
For a quick natural linen spray, add water and rosemary to a spray bottle, shake well and spray. If you suffer from migraines, spray your pillow with the mixture before taking a nap.
Rosemary makes a stunning and aromatic addition to floral bouquets, tablescapes and gift boxes as well.
Recipe: Rosemary Oil, Heat Infused
You Need:
5-10 sprigs of rosemary
3 cups of olive, grapeseed or coconut oil
cheese cloth or fine strainer
First ensure the rosemary leaves are completely dry to reduce the risk of rancid oil. Place the rosemary sprigs in a dehydrator, oven on lowest setting or in the hot sun. Once the leaves are dry, add them to oil in a crock pot or saucepan. Cover and simmer on low heat for 2 hours. Remove from the heat and let it completely cool. Strain into a jar and cover.
For cold infusion, add dried rosemary to the jar, fill with cold oil, seal and allow it to infuse for 3-5 weeks, strain and store in a dark dry space like your pantry.
Rosemary oil can be used to cook with, on your skin and on your scalp for hair growth. If using on your skin, be careful not to use it in areas where you don’t want hair growth. For hair serum, I place a few ounces in a squirt bottle, making it easier to oil my scalp.
⚠️ Rosemary is safe in most cases, but may counteract with some medications. Definitely check with your physician.
