Researchers from Pars Bioscience Research Center and the University of Kansas-City Missouri have shown that rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) has many different therapeutic applications. This meta-analysis, published in Herbal Medicine, collated information from various articles to evaluate the preservative and therapeutic potential of rosemary.
From the information that they were able to collect, researchers concluded that rosemary can be used as a food preservative since it exhibits antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities, as well as, low toxicity levels. Aside from this, it can also be used to treat different diseases since it contains high levels of antioxidants that are important for antidiabetic and anticancer mechanisms.
