Of all its health benefits, arguably rosemary’s most exciting potential lies in its possible role in helping to prevent or treat Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia worldwide. In recent years, compounds found in the herb have been shown to inhibit the death of neurons (brain cells). Autopsy findings in Alzheimer’s reveal massive neuronal death leading to significant shrinkage of the cortex and other parts of the brain. Preventing such damage is therefore a key focus in Alzheimer’s research.
Researchers are also exploring rosemary’s benefits for other inflammation-related diseases including Parkinson’s, diabetes, and heart disease. Beyond cognitive health, the herb may also offer digestive relief, skin protection, and antimicrobial benefits.
