Home Remedy #6: Rosemary
Rosemary is an herb that has fragrant leaves. A member of the mint family, the plant is native to the Mediterranean region. Rosemary has been used for culinary, decorative, cosmetics, and medicinal purposes.
In folk medicine, the plant has been thought to have medicinal effects despite having no scientific evidence. The compounds in rosemary are thought to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties along with antioxidants. A 2013 study performed on human cells and mice suggested that the extract of rosemary can reduce inflammation caused by P. acnes bacteria.
