How Rosemary Benefits the Eyes
Rosemary’s natural anti-inflammatory effects may relieve the discomfort associated with conjunctivitis by reducing eye inflammation. Additionally, its antioxidant-rich profile could play a role in minimizing the development of cataracts and glaucoma—two common eye conditions that lead to vision impairment. While rosemary can’t fully restore lost vision, it may help maintain eye health over time, providing a simple way to support eye care through diet.
Ways to Incorporate Rosemary for Eye Health
Adding rosemary to your routine can be as easy as brewing a cup of rosemary tea, seasoning meals with fresh or dried rosemary, or using rosemary oil. A teaspoon of dried rosemary steeped in boiling water makes a soothing tea, while fresh rosemary adds flavor to a variety of dishes. For topical use, dilute rosemary oil with a carrier oil and gently apply around the eye area—avoiding direct eye contact—to enjoy its soothing properties. Always consult a healthcare provider to ensure these methods suit your individual needs.
