Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus)
Salvia rosmarinus, more commonly known as rosemary, is a herb that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Until recently it was named Rosmarinus officinalis, but has been re-classified into the Salvia family.
It is known for its many potential health benefits, including its ability to improve memory and cognitive function, boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Some studies have also suggested that rosemary may have anti-cancer properties and may be effective in treating certain types of cancer. Additionally, rosemary is a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals.
It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. The health benefits of rosemary are believed to come from its active ingredients, such as rosmarinic acid and various essential oils.
