Increased cholesterol, impaired blood circulation or fatigue – these are very common health problems today that are related not only to lifestyle but also to an inappropriate diet. That is why more and more people are turning to natural recipes rooted in Mediterranean medicine. And among them rosemary wine stands out – a simple but effective drink that combines the power of two proven ingredients: rosemary and wine.
Rosemary and wine: a healthy pairing from Mediterranean cuisine
The Mediterranean diet is considered one of the healthiest ways of eating. The basis of this cuisine includes not only fish, olive oil and vegetables, but also herbs and wine. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is commonly used there not only as a spice but also as a natural remedy.
Rosemary is rich in medicinal substances, especially essential oils containing camphor, cineole and pinene. It also contains flavonoids, tannins, diterpenes, triterpenes, phenolic acids (for example rosmarinic and chlorogenic acid), phytoestrogens and antioxidants. This makes it an exceptionally effective plant supporting the health of blood vessels, the heart and the brain.
Wine, especially dry white, has a beneficial effect on blood circulation when consumed in the right amount and provides the body with a number of antioxidants that protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. However, it is important to consume wine in moderation, ideally as part of a restorative regimen.
Recipe for rosemary wine
Preparing this natural elixir is simple and can be done at home without special equipment.
Ingredients:
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary (or 30 g of dried rosemary)
- 1 liter of dry white wine
Method:
Wash and dry the rosemary and place it in a clean jar or sealable bottle. Pour in a liter of good quality dry white wine. Close and let steep in a dark place for at least 7 days. Gently shake the container each day to release the active substances from the herb. After a week, strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth and store in a dark glass bottle in a cool place.
How to take rosemary wine?
It is recommended to drink a small glass (about 50 ml) twice a day – one in the morning and one in the evening. The regimen can be followed for a maximum of 30 days, then take a break.
Warning: Rosemary wine is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children or people with high blood pressure. Consultation with a doctor is recommended before use.
