Rosemary is an aromatic and evergreen shrub. The Latin name of the plant is “Rosmarinus” and it means coolness of the sea and it is composed of the words “ros” (coolness) and “marinus” (marine), because it was considered that it can grow only from the humidity coming from the sea. Rosemary has antispasmodic, sedative, anti-inflammatory, anti-hepatotoxic, diuretic, and antimicrobial properties. It is used as a natural dietary supplement for headaches, migraines, indigestion, myalgias, sciatica and neuralgia. Its use is widespread in cooking where it is added to give a unique aroma and taste to meats, fish, salads and various dressings.
