Rosemary Boosts Brain Power and May Combat Alzheimer's

Rosemary, a Mediterranean herb, may boost brain health, improve memory, and potentially aid in fighting Alzheimer's disease through its compounds like 1,8-cineole and carnosic acid, which support cognitive function and protect brain cells. It also offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, with promising research into derivatives like diAcCA showing cognitive improvements in pre-clinical studies. Beyond brain health, rosemary has traditional uses for digestion, skin health, and antimicrobial properties. While generally safe in culinary amounts, concentrated doses should be used cautiously, especially for pregnant women and those on certain medications.
