The authors of the research determined that rosemary positively interacted with the monoaminergic system in the brains of the test animals. It works even when prescriptions don’t, I know this from experience.A Brazilian study published in June 2009 uncovered an antidepressant effect of a rosemary extract applied to two behavioral models in mice. If you are prone to urinary tract infections then thyme is the tea for you. This is also a great remedy for congestion and I have used it for sore throats and coughs as well. I use it in a facial steam and then have a cool cup of the tea there to use as a wash afterward, and another hot one to drink.

It is also great for cleansing the skin of any blemishes. Thyme is one of my favorite herbs to use for any illness. Thyme has been used to kill ringworm and as a natural remedy for athletes foot among others. There aren’t many germs that can beat that combination. Thyme is antiviral, anti-fungal, antimicrobial, and antibiotic. If you are sick, a tea with thyme is one of the best herbal remedies, especially when you inhale the steam as well. Its name means both “to fumigate” and “courage” showing just how powerful an herb this is. Thyme (t hymus vulgares) is a knockout when it comes to fighting infections of any kind. This is one tea that I enjoy by itself as much as with other herbs. It also contains high amounts of rosmarinic acid, which is antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. Rosemary aids in digestion, especially of fats, and absorption of nutrients as well as keeping waste from accumulating in the body.
It also has antibiotic and antispasmodic properties that make it prized for fighting off lingering bronchial infections. It also calms and tones the nerves, which can relieve tension headaches and ease depression and anxiety. It is a wonderful tonic as well, slowly improving the immune system. Rosemary stimulates circulation which increases the amount of oxygen the brain gets, thus improving the function of the heart and mind. Its symbolic ties to love and remembrance are also indicators of its health properties. This is a plant that has been prized for its many properties throughout history. Even her allergies to pine and tape have improved as well. It’s been about 10 years and she still hasn’t had any problems with her allergies. That is when she realized that she hadn’t had any problems with her allergies since she had been drinking the tea I made for her. It was almost 2/3rds of the way through the allergy season when one of her coworkers started having a really bad time with his allergies. This happened just at the start of a very hot summer. When she started through the change of life I made her a tea for hot flashes that contained parsley as one of the ingredients. My mother used to have a horrible time with hay fever and had to take a prescription for it. I know from experience that is works wonders for allergies. One seemingly little recognized fact is that parsley is a natural antihistamine. This little green herb is a time-honored tonic, especially for women. Have you ever really thought about what it can do though? If not you might be surprised.
We use it in cooking, especially in soups and sauces. We see it on our plates when we go out to eat.
