Rosemary
Rosemary is a widely cultivated herb and a
popular garden plant with its spiky dark green leaves and
distinctive scent. As a medicine, rosemary provides a valuable
heart and liver tonic and also helps reduce high blood pressure.
It is widely used too in the treatment of nerves, digestive
disorders and menstrual pains. In all cases a small cupful of the
standard infusion should be taken each morning on rising. Used as
a lotion, this herb or its oil will cure all pains in the head.
When taken with honey it cures coughing. Rosemary is well known as
a fine tonic for the scalp and skin. It adds lustre to the hair
and is a common ingredient of many commercial shampoos. It keeps
the skin free from wrinkles. Boil rosemary leaves and the flowers
and use the mixture as a face wash. Do not wipe the face
afterwards, but let is dry naturally. The regular washing of face
with this solution will keep you young for ever. |
