The health benefits of rosemary

Not only is rosemary a delicious addition to healthy cuisine, it supports our health in so many different and unique ways. Some of these benefits have been tried and tested through the ages, passed down from generation to generation. Some benefits have even been tested by science. One thing for sure is that rosemary is a real gift to be embraced by anyone living in a temperate or Mediterranean region…

Super brain food

Rosemary was traditionally associated with strengthening the memory and has been shown to stimulate the nervous system in the brain whilst increasing the flow of blood to the head. It also has been said that it contains compounds that stop the degradation of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter that ensures healthy memory and communication between the cells.

All round energizing stimulant AND relaxant

Rosemary is an all round stimulant known for it’s uplifting, energizing qualities. It supports blood circulation, improves digestion, encourages healthy hair growth and the immune system. As if this weren’t enough, it also imparts the rather welcomed ability to calm and gently soothe at the same time as energizing.

Rosemary is an amazing anti-oxidant

Potent antioxidants within rosemary protect the body against free-radical damage. I remember reading that rosemary has been shown to contain carnosol and ursollic acid  which are known to prevent melanoma and cancer, whilst caffeic acid and rosemarinic acid are well known for their antioxidant (and anti-inflammatory) benefits.

Anti-inflammatory benefits

Rosemary has an excellent reputation as an anti-inflammatory and has been reported to relieve asthma, eczema, arthritis, gout and other inflammatory conditions. There are other herbs and spices that may be even more powerful at reducing inflammation, although, rosemary is certainly beneficial as an all-rounder, especially if it is something you begin to consume regularly in your diet.

Helps against fight or flight, adrenal fatigue and stress

Most of us live in a busy world that all too frequently mimics the ‘fight or flight’ mode of our ancestors. Fight or flight immediately puts us in a state of stress as the body experiences a cascade of the highly stimulating, cortisol hormone throughout the body. It is thought that rosemary (along with herbs like lavender) has the uncanny knack of being able to lower cortisol levels in the body. I don’t know the science of this, yet I can say that if I inhale the pungent scent of rosemary if I’m feeling some degree of internal stress, I experience a rapid re-centering in my body and calming of stress hormones. So this ability to help against adrenal fatigue and stress really does resonate with me personally – something definitely happens!

How to use rosemary

In food: Rosemary can be used fresh or dried in soups, stews and all sorts of food dishes. It has quite tough pine needle like leaves and in most dishes benefits from being chopped finely or cooked for at least half an hour to soften up. Check out my rosemary oatcake crackers for a simple, tasty recipe with a delicate hint of this delightful herb: Trinity’s Rosemary Oatcakes

As a tea infusion: Make a delicious rosemary tea infusion by placing some fresh rosemary into a tea ball or muslin bag and allow it to infuse in a mug for about 10 minutes. If you have a tea pot just pour boiling water on the fresh herb and then strain off when ready (this allows more of the leave to infuse, which is actually better). Crush or bruise some the leaves beforehand to release more of the oils and allow for a more potent, rich flavour.

Essential oil: Many people love the intense aroma of rosemary essential oil and use it on the skin topically (minimal amount required) or as a powerful inhalant. (BE AWARE however if you are pregnant to avoid the use of rosemary essential oil, due to it’s strong stimulant properties).

So, if like me, you feel a resonance with this herb, then embrace it and explore different ways that you can bring it more into your daily life.

How To Make Alkaline Water In Order To Fight Fatigue, Digestive Issues And Cancer?

In order for it to be healthy and able to prevent diseases, our body should be a little bit alkaline.

However, many factors, like the environmental, processed foods, chemicals and stress, influence our body state and make it more acidic (if not highly acidic).

This is a serious issue as it leads to more health complications, including fatigue, digestive issues and weight gain. Moreover, if not balanced on time, this environment in our bodies may influence healthy cells and they will become toxic, and over time, even cancerous.

The pH scale goes from 0(the most acidic) to 14 (14 the most alkaline). 7 is therefore neutral, and our bodies are designed to thrive in a slightly alkaline environment of 7.4.

However, our body organs function on different pH levels. For instance, the pH of the digestive tract can vary a lot, from 1.5-7.0, and is influenced by many factors, but mostly by the diet we consume.

Our saliva is more acidic in order to be able to help the digestion of food, and its pH ranges from 6.5-7.0, as it). On the other hand, the typical pH value of the skin is 5.

Also, according to the findings of a 2006 study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, its pH should be 4-4.5 in order it to be more strong in eliminating and preventing  infections.

Namely, the science has discovered it long ago, and we are all aware that the food we consume can significantly determine our overall pH levels, and in that way, our health condition.

Since 1931, when Dr. Otto Warburg found the truth that has made him win the Nobel Prize in Psychology or Medicine, researchers constantly struggle to determine the ph value of different foods, and their contribution to the environment of the body.

Dr. Otto Warburg’s discovery revealed that 90-95% of all types of cancer occur as a result of an acidic environment. Moreover, he found that cancer cells simply cannot survive in an alkaline environment, when the pH is around 7.36.

As he stated a century ago, there is a relation not only between acidosis (over-acidity) and the formation of cancer, but with almost every chronic disease nowadays, such as heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis.

Therefore, it is of vital importance to recognize when your body is too acidic. The first you can do is to do a saliva test using a regular pH paper. Nevertheless, you can also determine it by knowing the following symptoms:

• Frequent shortness of breath
• Muscle pain or cramps after walking short distances
• Constant fatigue

As soon as your pH level drops, your body’s mechanisms try to regulate itself naturally (to create homeostasis) by holding and storing some excessively acidic substances in your organs, including your liver, lungs and kidneys.

Thus, it can keep up an optimal pH of between 7.35-7.45. However, these acidic substances will eventually start to strike the healthy cells, causing them to be toxic, damaged and sick. Over time, if this issue is not solved, these cells can grow without control and spread to other body parts or organs, that is, that is, they will metastasize.

As we previously mentioned, one of the major causes of the chronic acidosis is the modern diet, which is rich in sugar, caffeine, highly- processed food and alcohol. These foods are also grown with the use of numerous additives, pesticides and growth hormones, which are additionally acidic.

Therefore, it is absolutely logical to make numerous changes in the diet in order to preserve the health of your body. Moreover, you can also benefit a lot from a detox made by consuming alkaline water.

The human body is 70% water, so a proper alkaline water will lead to homeostasis.

Alkaline water- recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of Himalayan salt (
• 1 organic lemon
• 2 liters of purified water (it’s good to have an osmosis filter)
• 1 large glass jar (plastic has chemicals and impurities that are acidic to your body).

Method of preparation:

Pour the water in the glass. Cut the lemon in slices and add it inside the water. Add the Himalayan salt. Cover the glass and leave it at room temperature for 12-24 hours.

Use:

For best results, consume the alkaline water the first thing in the morning, before you start your day or eat anything. Drink 3 glasses of the alkaline water on an empty stomach. You can also consume it during the day.

The effects are inevitable! Over some time, you will start feeling different, full of energy1 Furthermore, your skin will be clear and radiant, and you will have more concentration and your brain will be more alert.

If you combine the alkaline water with a healthy diet (free of sugar, additives, toxins and processed food), regular exercise and if you avoid stress, you will soon become a completely new person!
