Rosemary oil benefits for Skin

Popularly known as rosemary, is an aromatic plant with needle-like leaves belonging to the Lamiaceae family. Rosemary has therapeutic properties and has been used in the folk medicine, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries, mainly for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which are attributed to carnosol/carnosic and ursolic acids. Carnosic acid was reported to be a potent nitric oxide (NO) inhibitor; NO is a pro-inflammatory mediator that induces or enhances the inflammatory process. (de Macedo, et al., 2020). The effects of Rosemary oil’s hydroalcoholic extract resulted in a dose-dependent reduction of human melanoma cell proliferation. Mutations in melanocytes are attributed to the excessive exposure of the skin to sunlight and induce the development of melanomas. The cell cycle proliferation was inhibited in vitro because of the cytotoxic and cytostatic activity of the hydroalcoholic extract. (de Macedo, et al., Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L., syn Salvia rosmarinus Spenn.) and Its Topical Applications, 2020)

Skin flaps are used to reconstruct soft tissues and large wound defects. This technique has been employed in plastic surgery, and its efficacy depends on the wound’s location and the extent of the defect. The study reported antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory activities of the oil as factors for the increased tissue survival (de Macedo, et al., Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L., syn Salvia rosmarinus Spenn.) and Its Topical Applications, 2020)

The therapeutic use of rosemary has been explored for treating inflammatory diseases; According to other studies, it treats such as wound healing and skin cancer and mycoses treatments, among others. Besides its therapeutic uses, rosemary has potential applications in cosmetic formulations and in treating pathological and non-pathological conditions, such as cellulite, alopecia, ultraviolet damage, and aging. (Sellar, The Directory of Essential Oil , 1992)

Rosemary oil benefits for Mind

Author Patricia Davis (Davis, Aromatherapy An A-Z, 1988) also wrote in her book that Rosemary Oil is also an excellent brain stimulant; it is used where there is loss or reduction of functions, such as loss of smell, where the sensory nerves have been affected. Ophelia in ‘Hamlet’ says there’s rosemary for remembrance, and Rosemary has long had the reputation of improving memory. Inhaling a few drops of this oil produces a feeling of great mental clarity, which undoubtedly aids all thought processes and has pain -relieving agent without being too sedative. The infusion of leaves is perceived to have tonic, antitussive, anti-asthmatic, cholagogues choleretic, Carminative, Stomachic, antispasmodic, febrifuge, antimicrobial, anti-rheumatic and anti-neuralgic properties. (Anton C. de Groot, 2016)

How to Use:

Though Rosemary essential oil can be used on any hair type because the benefits target the hair follicle, not the hair strand, It is safe to use on color-treated hair, mainly because its primary use should be directly on the scalp. But if you have sensitive skin and are unsure how your scalp skin may react, talk to your dermatologist about integrating the oil into your routine. There’s no recommended dose for Rosehip Oil. Follow all directions on the product label.

Precaution:

Its highly stimulating action may not suit people with epilepsy or high blood pressure. Best avoided in pregnancy, too, since it is an emmenagogue.

If you ever see an essential oil in a plastic bottle, do not buy it!
- Read the labelit should also state what plant parts were used (i.e., on a bottle of niaouli, it should say “Plant part: Leaf and twig”), how it was extracted (distillation or expression), and how it was grown (aka organic, wild-crafted, traditional).
