Re: Rosemary Can Protect the Brain From Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease
Ah man, Ohfor, I am afraid that there is nothing that could help YOUR brain.
Just kidding! I generally think that fresh is best, decoctions, extracts or teas next, and dried after that. Besides it's use as a spice, Rosemary most often is found either as enteric coated oil capsules, teas and oil which can be used for aromatherapy. Do NOT ingest the oil used for aromatherapy.
Other proven uses for Rosemary include: Cancer, circulatory problems, eczema, rheumatic disorders, indigestion and menstrual cramps, irritable bowl syndrome and yeast infection.
In European fok medicine, it was used both internally and externally for ills including nervous disorders, upset stomach, headaches, baldness, arthritis, pain, strains and bruises.
