Rosemary is an herb that may help prevent damage to blood vessels and aid with cardiovascular health. The healing herb may also help with indigestion and memory function and reduce muscle and joint pain when applied topically. Rosemary's active ingredient, carnosic acid or carnosol, might also prevent the spread of cancer. A very strongly flavored herb, rosemary goes great with hearty foods, such as meat and potatoes.

It can also be consume by taking a Rosemary Tincture: use 15 drops twice a day in water.
