ROSEMARY (FRANCE) (ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS-LABIATAE)
Rosemary is found growing wild in the countries bordering the Mediterranean and has been used as a culinary and medicinal herb for centuries. The oil is refreshing, stimulating and is said to strengthen the memory, concentration and to relieve headaches. The oil ranges from colorless to slightly pale yellow-green, the aroma is similar to that of the crushed leaves; camphoric. It is also excellent for hair and scalp problems including hair loss and dandruff. Rosemary is a strong antioxidant, several studies have shown that it helps prevent the development of cancerous tumors in laboratory animals. Researchers at the University of Illinois in Urbana found that rosemary reduced the incidence of breast cancer in animals at high risk for developing the disease. 'In the few studies done so far, rosemary has proven to be strong inhibitor of the development and growth of cancerous tumors,' says Dr. Chi-Tang Ho, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Food Science at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
