Studies also proved that rosemary is a good source of antioxidants (chemicals or behaviours that prevents cell damage) and flavonoids(works with antoxidants, also and also has anti-cancer activity) that stimulate the immune system, which increase circulation and improve digestion, especially for those of us who have slow digesting process or anything related.

It is a great source of fiber (helps to ease bowel movement) amongs many others, and lastly it is also said that the versatile plant contribute towards increasing blood flow to the head and brain, so perhaps ancient cultures were just right! Lol
