Rosemary is very high on the OREC listing of antioxidants. Rosemary can prevent the body from breaking down an important neurotransmitter called acetylcholine.


Rosemary For Your Eyes

Rosemary is great for your eyes and may help to prevent macular degeneration.


Researchers report that carnosic acid, a component of the herb rosemary, promotes eye health. The team found that carnosic acid protects retinas from degeneration and toxicity in cell culture and in rodent models of light-induced retinal damage. Their findings suggest that carnosic acid may have clinical applications for the outer retina, including age-related macular degeneration.

Rosemary-Ginger Tea

An easy way to consume it is by making tea. We have a couple of rosemary bushes, and this is one of our favorite drinks.


  1. Bring water to a boil.
  2. Add around a TB of loose rosemary leaves to the hot pot.
  3. Add a TB of minced ginger and let is simmer for 15 minutes
  4. Strain the rosemary leaves and ginger from the hot water using a mesh strainer with small holes, and discard the used rosemary leaves.
  5. Pour your rosemary tea into a mug and enjoy. I like to add a little honey.


Smelling Fresh Rosemary

Studies have shown that even smelling rosemary may help your memory.


A study found that pupils working in a room with the aroma of rosemary, in the form of an essential oil, achieved 5% to 7% better results in memory tests.
