🌿🌿🌿 Rosemary is our Herb of the Week! 🌿🌿🌿

Right after teaching my first herbal intensive in southern France, I headed south to the famous Mediterranean coves, called Calanques, near Marseilles. By the time I arrived, in early June, the rocky limestone soil was dry, with only the hardiest of plants peeking through. Undeterred by the sparse plant life, I set off on a short trail that steeply climbed up a hill. At the top, I was gifted a beautiful view of the deep-blue Mediterranean Sea.

After catching my breath, I quickly realized I had a treasure at my feet; rosemary was growing in dense patches all around me. I reached down and rubbed the leaves and was immediately rewarded with its powerful scent. Standing on a hillside on the coast of the Mediterranean, I was easily able to imagine what inspired its genus name, Rosmarinus, which means “dew of the sea.”

Science has recently taken an interest in rosemary to boost cognition and as an antioxidant. In fact, we could easily call rosemary the “queen of antioxidants.” But herbalists have long celebrated rosemary for its gently warming and dispersing effects, which bring benefits to the heart, digestion, liver, and mood.
