Please jutr remember that Rosemary could elevate blood pressure. Ppl suffering from high blood pressure should use rosemary carefully and in moderation. I have found that using lavender sprigs where rosemary is called for has worked very well.
This is the first time I heard this caution for rosemary. I checked my references and can't find any caution like this anywhere. Including the Expanded Commission E Monographs, several herbals and pharmacopieas.
Fact is that rosemary is included in the FDA list of herbs generally regarded as safe - the GRAS list.
For adults who are not pregnant or nursing, rosemary leaf is safe when used in the amounts usually recommended.
