Why Rosemary is a Great Herb All Year Round

Rosemary is one of those rare herbs that shines in every season. Whether you’re battling winter colds, refreshing yourself in the summer heat, or enjoying comforting blends in the fall, rosemary’s versatility makes it a year-round wellness ally. At Angie’s Gardens, we’re big fans of this herb and its ability to adapt to the changing needs of each season.
Why Rosemary is Perfect for All Seasons
- Winter: Immune Support and Warmth
Rosemary is packed with antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, making it an excellent herb for bolstering your immune system during the colder months. Its warming nature also helps stimulate circulation, keeping your body cozy and energized.
- How to Use It: Brew a cup of Sweet Relief Tea, combining rosemary with elderflower and licorice root for cold and flu season support.
- Spring: Allergy Relief
Springtime brings beauty but also allergies. Rosemary’s anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce symptoms like nasal congestion and itchy eyes. Its ability to support respiratory health makes it a great ally during this season.
- How to Use It: Add rosemary to a refreshing springtime tea blend with lemon balm and peppermint.
- Summer: Cooling and Invigorating
Despite being a warming herb, rosemary offers a refreshing flavor that’s ideal for summer teas. It also helps fight fatigue, making it a perfect addition to iced teas on hot days.
- How to Use It: Brew rosemary with hibiscus and mint for a rejuvenating iced tea.
- Fall: Digestive Comfort
Autumn calls for hearty meals and cozy flavors, but it can also bring digestive discomfort. Rosemary’s carminative properties aid digestion and reduce bloating, making it a great herb to enjoy after meals.
- How to Use It: Try Angie’s Gardens’ Afternoon Delight Tea, which blends rosemary with rooibos, rose petals, and lemon balm for a soothing seasonal treat.
Rosemary’s Versatility in Wellness
Rosemary can be used in many forms throughout the year:
- In Cooking: Add it to soups, roasted vegetables, or marinades for flavor and digestive support.
- As a Tea: Enjoy it hot in the winter or iced in the summer, our Morning Focus, Sweet Relief, Afternoon Delight, and Morning Focus Xtreme (with Cannabis) are great ways to benefit from Rosemary’s health benefits..
- Aromatic Use: Diffuse rosemary essential oil to refresh your home or boost your mood.
