Rosemary contains natural camphor, which helps invigorate the circulatory and nervous systems without overstimulating. It also has powerful natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is a good appetite stimulant. Rosemary is sometimes prescribed for weak circulation due to overwork or after serious illness, such as flu or pneumonia. It is a common ingredient in hair preparations, perhaps because of its invigorating and stimulating effects on the circulation. It is the ‘herb of remembrance’ stimulating the brain to remember. Effective for keeping awake during long drives and for studying.
