Rosmarinus

Rosmarinus officinalis. Rosemary. N. O. Labiatas. Tincture of whole plant.

Clinical

Abortion. Baldness. Menses, too early.

Characteristics

The most violent of the symptoms of Rosm. were observed on a woman who took a strong infusion for eight days, with the result that miscarriage occurred. In another woman it brought on the menses four days too soon. Chilliness predominated, the chill not being followed by heat. Oil of Rosemary has an ancient reputation as a remedy for baldness, headache, and flag mental powers. Hence it has been called " Herb of Memory." This Shakespere alludes to when he makes Ophelia say, " There's Rosemary, that*s for remembrance."
