ROSMARIOUS OFFICINALIS

Rosemary oil, rich in phenolic compounds, such as phenolic acids and flavonoids, is used in food and cosmetic industries as well as in aromatherapy. Research has established that a minimum concentration of rosemary essential oil contributes to halting the growth of various pathogens such as E. Coli. Moreover, it bears a bactericidal effect – able to inhibit six microorganisms that usually adversely affect meat – as well as an antifungal action since, as established by surveys, it can partially inhibit the growth and the toxin production of various fungi.

Rosemary decoction combats diarrhea and hair loss, while it is appropriate -amongst others- for treating weakness, headache, cold, overtiredness, exhaustion and depression. Recommended for cramps and stomach bloating, it can increase appetite causing gastric fluid secretion.

Rosemary is one of the main spices of the Mediterranean cuisine. It flavors baked potatoes as well as fried ones. It deliciously flavors bread, beef, lamb, fish, seafood, omelets, soups, sauces, vegetables and snails. Its dried leaves offer the touch of a welcome aroma to a variety of dishes; a trick poetically and aptly described in its Latin name, “rosmarinus” which means marine dew.
