5. May Aid Digestion and Gut Comfort
Slower digestion is common with age — leading to bloating, gas, or discomfort after meals.
Rosemary stimulates bile production in the liver — which helps break down fats and ease digestion.
🍵 Sipping weak rosemary tea after dinner may promote comfort (avoid if you have gallstones).
6. Uplifts Mood and Reduces Mental Fatigue
