A Brief History of Rosemary...
Rosemary, known by its botanical name Rosmarinus officinalis, is a wild plant that grows naturally throughout the Mediterranean region. It thrives in calcareous, arid, and degraded soils. It grows vigorously and branches profusely, reflecting its stimulating energy.

At the same time, rosemary ( ) is an aromatic herb widely used in cooking to add flavor and enhance the taste of a dish. Like the other plants that make up the famous bouquets garnis or herbes de Provence (thyme, savory, oregano, bay leaf, etc.), rosemary aids digestion.
Rosemary, a liver stimulant
Rosemary affects gallbladder function by increasing bile production and secretion. As a result, it aids in the digestion of fats. People with high cholesterol, difficulty digesting fats, or gallstones may benefit from taking rosemary macerate.

Rosemary Gemmotherapy and the Endocrine System
Rosemary's stimulating effect acts directly on the adrenal glands and, through a chain reaction, on the functioning of the reproductive organs. It may be recommended for men and women suffering from hormonal disorders.
Rosemary has yang energy. It is stimulating and helps you take action. It helps people who tend to dwell on things—who remain stuck in their fears, which, in the end, are merely interpretations of the past—to move forward, to get going, and to look toward the future with faith.
Why Take Rosemary in the Form of a Glycerin Tincture?
Although rosemary can be consumed in a sauce, soup, or as a tea, the gemmotherapy version offers benefits on many levels. In fact, the whole point of gemmotherapy lies in the use of buds, young shoots, or rootlets.
These parts of the plant are an exceptional source of information: all parts of the plant are concentrated in them—whether leaves, flowers, fruits, roots, bark, or stems… It is said that gemmotherapy uses the plant’s embryonic cells.
So, not only do you support your digestion by stimulating liver and gallbladder function, but you also benefit on an emotional and energetic level.
