                                            Rosemary: A Traditional Memory Herb — Lest We Forget 🧠🌿
Rosmarinus officinalis
This fragrant Mediterranean herb has been used to support memory since ancient Greece. It thrives here on the Fleurieu Peninsula and grows in many home gardens - yet too often, it's saved just for the Sunday roast!
Rosemary is so much more than a flavour boost for lamb or potatoes. It helps stimulate the body’s own antioxidant production, supports healthy inflammation responses and may even encourage a balanced gut microbiome - something we know plays a big role in brain health. With these actions, Rosemary may offer protective benefits in the body, including the brain.
Considering its potential to support memory, mood and concentration - and the fact you might already have it growing just outside - why not pick a sprig and try a soothing cup of Rosemary tea today?
