Rosemary

About Rosemary

Rosemary comes from Latin ros marinus (dew of the sea). Contains rosmarinic acid — one of the most powerful natural antioxidants identified. Research has shown that simply inhaling rosemary aroma can improve cognitive performance and memory. A 2016 study showed rosemary extract rivals minoxidil for hair growth.
