Rosemary is more than just a kitchen herb—it’s a traditional healing plant that has been used for centuries to improve circulation, ease pain, and refresh tired muscles. Turned into an ointment, rosemary becomes a soothing, natural aid for varicose veins, arthritis, rheumatism, and heavy, tired legs.

Rosemary contains powerful compounds such as rosmarinic acid and essential oils that are known for their:
