Rosemary

Rosemary may be best known worldwide as a popular seasoning and aromatic, but it also has many natural medicine applications. Rosemary essential oil is a memory booster, as its compounds help prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, a chemical in the brain essential for memory and concentration. It is also known as a natural pain reliever when massaged into the muscles and is also known to relieve stress by releasing cortisol during aromatherapy. Similarly, when inhaled, rosemary can perk you up, making you more energetic and alert by stimulating the brain. Rosemary essential oil can also be massaged into the skin for chronic skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis. Meanwhile, it serves cosmetic purposes, such as reducing swelling and puffiness.
