This episode of An Herbal Diary is a return to materia medica in the form of a full rosemary monograph. Herbal monographs are an immersive way to study and get to know an herb. Rosemary certainly deserves a complete herbal monograph. In this episode we delve into the virtues of rosemary, this queen of a plant, from the perspective of the kitchen, the spirit and the medicine cabinet.

As always, thank you for joining me! Remember, I would love to hear from you.

CONNECT WITH DINA

I'm Dina, an herbalist, a nutritionist, a baker and a mom. In An Herbal Diary I explore the science and art of kitchen medicine. I humbly invite you into my kitchen apothecary and I'm sending huge gratitude to you for joining me here. Together we can transform our kitchens into a unique apothecary.

As always, please do your own research and consult your healthcare provider before taking any new herbs. While all the herbs I discuss are considered safe for general use, we all have unique nuances, needs and concerns. All of the information on an Herbal Diary is my own opinion and I encourage you to nourish your own.

In this episode we delve into herbal medicine from a culinary perspective by baking with the queen of baking spices.. cinnamon. It's no surprise that this spice has a pastry named for it. Cinnamon is prominent as a remedy in traditional Chinese medicine. Its warming quality stimulates circulation. We talk about the differences between ceylon and cassia cinnamon along with when to choose between the two.

This episode of An Herbal Diary continues the Herbal Bake Club segment of the podcast highlighting pumpkin pie cinnamon rolls. I have started a virtual herbal bake club and am including a companion podcast episode for each recipe.
