Rosemary in whole leaves from the south of France
Rosemary is an aromatic plant native to the Mediterranean region, known for its dark green foliage and small blue flowers. This plant is often used as a culinary herb, but also in traditional medicine for its medicinal properties.
In cooking, rosemary is often used to flavor meats, soups and vegetable dishes. It can be used fresh or dried, and has a slightly peppery, camphoric flavor.
In traditional medicine, rosemary is used to stimulate blood circulation, relieve muscle and joint pain, and improve digestion. It is also rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce inflammation and free radical damage in the body.
Rosemary is also used in aromatherapy for its stimulating and relaxing properties. Rosemary essential oils can be diffused into the air or used in massage oils to help relieve stress and anxiety.
