Rosemary is not just a fragrant kitchen herb—it’s a powerful medicinal plant. Traditionally used in natural medicine, rosemary offers multiple respiratory benefits:
-
Expectorant effect: Helps loosen and expel mucus from the lungs.
-
Anti-inflammatory properties: Reduces irritation in the throat and airways.
-
Antimicrobial action: Fights bacteria and viruses that may cause infections.
-
Improved circulation: Supports better oxygen flow in the body.
-
Soothing aroma: Its natural oils act as a mild decongestant when inhaled.
