Rosemary is an aromatic plant widely used in phytotherapy for its numerous benefits, thanks to its various forms of use such as mother tincture, essential oil, herbal tea, and fluid extract.
Recognized since ancient times for its medicinal properties, this plant is also famous for giving rise to “Hungary Water.” According to legend, it was formulated for Queen Elizabeth of Hungary, who, aged and ill, regained her youth and health after using this tonic. This water is primarily composed of rosemary and vinegar, and it became popular for its skin-purifying and firming properties. The glycerinated macerate of rosemary, on the other hand, is made from fresh, non-woody young shoots, preserving all the richness of its active principles.
Digestive System
Rosemary is a powerful hepatic drain and hepatoprotective (it traps free radicals). It is effective in hepatic insufficiency, gallstones, and biliary dyskinesia. It is shown that young shoots in glycerinated macerate form are superior to the whole plant for cholagogue and choleretic activity. It stimulates the regeneration of the intestinal wall.
Cardiovascular System
Young rosemary leaves normalize the sedimentation rate and stimulate red blood cell production. It is a general detoxifier that lowers triglycerides, urea, uric acid, and cholesterol levels. Like juniper, with which it can be combined, it restores mineral and ionic balance.
It is recommended to stimulate blood circulation in the extremities (cold hands and feet) and fights against atherosclerosis.
Uro-genital System
It is a tonic acting in adrenal insufficiency (avoid taking it at night) and functional sexual abnormalities (frigidity, impotence). In men, it combats gonadal aging, prostate congestion, and in women, dysmenorrhea.
