Rosemary
Our Fresh Rosemarinus officianalis can be used for ornamental, culinary and medicinal purposes
Rosemary, the aromatic and evergreen shrub, native to the dry hills of southern Europe and North Africa, can be grown as a clipped hedge, as a cascading plant along the edge of a retaining wall, pruned and shaped as topiaries and as a container patio plant.
A great advantage of rosemary is that it is a perennial and will last for twenty years or more with only minimal pruning once a year. While rosemary can be propagated by taking cuttings, the finest, more aromatic plants are said to be raised from seed.
Rosemary leaves are like soft pine needles, finely chopped they can be used to flavour a variety of dishes, especially stuffing. Many cooks simply cut sprigs of rosemary and place with roasted meats, especially lamb, pork, chicken and turkey with great results.
Benefits
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and ESCOP support the use of rosemary leaf preparations and essential oil, orally, for the symptomatic treatment of digestive disorders, especially those due to hepatobiliary deficiencies, as well as in case of mild spasms of the gastrointestinal tract.
Neurological Protection: The carnosic acid in rosemary has neuroprotective properties. It helps to reduce oxidative stress and overstimulation in nerve cells, ultimately protecting the nervous system according to some studies.
Reduces Stress: A study conducted on the anti-depressant effects of rosemary concluded that the aroma of the herb alone has been linked to improving mood and clearing the mind.
