❌ Debunking the Myths
❌ “Rosemary cures arthritis”
No — but it may help soothe symptoms when used topically
❌ “Drinking rosemary tea detoxes your body”
Your liver detoxes — herbs support, not “cleanse”
❌ “It reverses chronic pain”
Not a replacement for medical care — use as complementary support
❌ “More is better”
Excessive intake can cause side effects — moderation is key
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a miracle cure to feel better.
Sometimes, the best support comes from nature’s quiet healers — like rosemary, a humble herb with deep roots in both cuisine and wellness.
So next time you reach for seasoning…
remember:
That sprig on your roast chicken isn’t just flavor.
It’s a leaf steeped in history, science, and subtle strength.
And that kind of power?
It grows quietly — one fragrant branch at a time.
