Rosemary is my favorite herb.
It grows all year round, always stays green and is covered with beautiful blue flowers in spring.
It is a very versatile herb.
Rosemary has been used in traditional medicine since ancient times.
But now a new study tells us some interesting things about rosemary.
Indeed, according to a study, smelling rosemary increases memory.
Science has discovered that rosemary contains carnosic acid.
It is he who neutralizes the damage of free radicals in the brain, but also the damage of these in the DNA.
And that's not all!
According to a study published in an American Journal of Pharmacology, the chemical compound 1,8-cineole found in rosemary helps improve memory.
The findings even indicated that rosemary improves memory function by 75% from the scent alone!
I guess Shakespeare was right when in "Hamlet" he has Ophelia say, "Here's rosemary; it's for remembrance. Please, dear love, remember me!"
Did you know that rosemary is a symbol worn during commemorations in many countries? It may not be for nothing!
So why not plant a little rosemary in your garden or on your balcony?
