ROSEMARY
Probably best known for its use in Mediterranean cooking, Rosemarinus officinalis is cultivated around the world as a medicinal as well as culinary herb and preservative. It has one of the highest anti-oxidant levels of any edible plant which gives a modern scientific rationale to its use since ancient times for everything from pain relief, improving memory, boosting the immune and circulatory system to promoting hair growth! Contemporary research into rosemary extracts has reinforced the herb's reputation as a metabolic regulator with positive effects on diabetes and obesity.
