What are the health benefits of rosemary tea?
Research in a 2020 study concluded it has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, neuroprotective and even antitumor properties, reports infobae. Doctor Juan Quispe Rodríguez, a doctor and academic at the National University of Huanta in Peru, highlighted that the use of rosemary as a diuretic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiulcer has deep roots in medicinal tradition.
Its bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, terpenes, and phenolic acids, give it antioxidant properties and make its use possible both in gastronomy and medicine.
You can use this in food, drinks and even ointment or infusion to support hair growth, keep skin healthy as well as to reduce inflammation associated with arthritis or rheumatism. Not only that but the plant tea can aid in reducing digestive issues like heartburn, bloating, reflux, flatulence as well as improving your overall digestion.
Rosemary tea offers antibacterial, antiseptic, and antifungal properties that benefit various areas of the body. These antimicrobial effects are also linked to improved blood flow, which can help alleviate musculoskeletal pain.
One study found that drinking rosemary tea for just ten days boosted levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a crucial protein that supports the growth and survival of nerve cells. Higher BDNF levels are associated with enhanced memory and learning abilities.
Researchers credit these benefits to rosemary’s high concentration of apigenin, a powerful compound. The plant also acts as a strong circulatory stimulant, particularly enhancing blood flow to the brain.
This improved circulation directly helps improve memory, focus and learning. Its leaves, packed with tannins and vitamin C, further support brain health.
