Rosemary Oil Benefits

 

Research has uncovered that rosemary essential oil is highly effective when it comes to many major yet common health concerns facing us today. Here are just some of the top ways that you may find rosemary essential oil to be helpful.

 

1. Discourages Hair Loss and Boosts Growth

Androgenetic alopecia, more commonly known as male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness, is a common form of hair loss that is believed to be related to a person’s genetics and sex hormones. A byproduct of testosterone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is known to attack hair follicles,

leading to permanent hair loss, which is a problem for both sexes — especially for men who produce more testosterone than women.

A randomized comparative trial published in 2015 looked at the effectiveness of rosemary oil on hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia (AGA) compared to a common conventional form of treatment (minoxidil 2%). For six months, 50 subjects with AGA used rosemary oil while another 50 used minoxidil.

After three months, neither group saw any improvement, but after six months, both groups saw equally significant increases in hair count. The natural rosemary oil performed as a hair loss remedy as well as the conventional form of treatment and also caused less scalp itching compared to the 

minoxidil as a side effect.

2. May Improve Memory

There’s a meaningful quote in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” that points toward one of this herb’s most impressive benefits: “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember.”

Worn by Greek scholars to enhance their memory when taking exams, the mental strengthening ability of rosemary has been known for thousands of years.

The International Journal of Neuroscience published a study highlighting this phenomenon in 2017. Upon evaluating how the cognitive performance of 144 participants was affected by lavender oil and rosemary oil aromatherapy, University of Northumbria, Newcastle researchers discovered that:

• Rosemary produced a significant enhancement of performance for overall quality of memory and secondary memory factors.

• Probably due to its significant calming effect, lavender produced a significant decrement in performance of working memory, and impaired reaction times for both memory and attention-based tasks.

• Rosemary helped people become more alert.

• Lavender and rosemary helped produced a feeling of “contentment” in the volunteers.

After inhaling the vapor of rosemary oil and lemon oil in the morning, and lavender and orange oils in the evening, various functional assessments were conducted, and all patients displayed significant improvement in personal orientation in relation to cognitive function with no unwanted side effects.

Overall, the researchers concluded that “aromatherapy may have some potential for improving cognitive function, especially in AD patients.”

3. Liver Boosting

Traditionally used for its ability to help with gastrointestinal complaints, rosemary is also a fantastic liver cleanser and booster. It’s an herb known for its choleretic and hepatoprotective effects.

In case you’re not impressed, let me define these two qualities.

First, being described as “choleretic” means that rosemary is a substance that increases the amount of bile secreted by the liver. Hepatoprotective means the ability of something to prevent damage to the liver.

Animal research reveals that rosemary and olive leaf extracts provide liver-protective benefits to animal subjects with chemically induced liver cirrhosis. Specifically, the rosemary extract was able to inhibit the unwanted functional and tissue changes to the liver that result from cirrhosis.

4. Helps Lower Cortisol

A study was conducted out of the Meikai University School of Dentistry in Japan that evaluated how five minutes of lavender and rosemary aromatherapy affected the salivary cortisol levels (the “stress” hormone) of 22 healthy volunteers.

Upon observing that both essential oils enhance free radical-scavenging activity, researchers also discovered that both greatly reduced cortisol levels, which protects the body from chronic disease due to oxidative stress.
