    Known as the “herb of remembrance,” many of the uses for this ancient plant
    transfer to rosemary essential oil benefits like memory and hair growth. Yes,
    we love rosemary on potatoes and chicken, but it’s so much more than a
    culinary treat and should be used wisely.

    TOP 5 ROSEMARY OIL BENEFITS

    Rosmarinus officinalis was a sacred substance for nearly all ancient peoples,


    including Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans. As an evergreen
    Mediterranean native, rosemary would have been readily available, so its
    presence in folk medicine over the centuries is unsurprising.
    Ancient peoples used rosemary for many purposes, including:
     Mental clarity
     Digestive soothing

     Muscle pain relief

    In recent uses, rosemary is frequently used in skincare and hair products


    thanks to known antiseptic ability. As with many ancient remedies, rosemary is
    the subject of modern research as we begin to unlock the medicinal wisdom of
    generations past.
    As for Rosmarine, I lett it runne all over my garden walls, not onlie because my
    bees love it, but because it is the herb sacred to remembrance, and, therefore, to
    friendship; whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language that maketh it the chosen
    emblem of our funeral wakes and in our burial grounds.”
    ~ Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)
    Alongside the exciting prospect of slowed cancer growth and inflammation
    spread, rosemary has effects that are useful for our more common needs as
    well. Here are four of the ways rosemary essential oil exhibits its strengths in
    our everyday lives.

    1. CANCER

    Although we only have in vitro (cells in a petri dish) studies, researchers


    suggest that rosemary essential oil can help prevent and treat a variety of
    cancer cells lines. Of the 30 compounds in the essential oil, there are a few
    main players: α-pinene, borneol, (−) camphene, camphor, verbenone, and
    bornyl-acetate. Interestingly, it doesn’t seem that any one of these chemicals is
    responsible for rosemary’s anti-tumor prowess. The research actually suggests
    that it’s the synergy of them interacting together, which gives rosemary
    essential oil the true medicinal effect.
    The study suggesting this was published in the journal Molecules after
    evaluating in vitro antibacterial activities and toxicology properties. of R.
    officinalis L. essential oil compared to α-pinene, β-pinene, and 1,8-cineole.
    According to the study,
    “R. officinalis L. essential oil possessed similar antibacterial activities to α-
    pinene, and a little bit better than β-pinene, while 1,8-cineole possessed the
    lowest antibacterial activities. R. officinalis L. essential oil exhibited the
    strongest cytotoxicity towards three human cancer cells. Its inhibition
    concentration 50% (IC50) values on SK-OV-3, HO-8910 and Bel-7402 were
    0.025‰, 0.076‰ and 0.13‰ (v/v), respectively. The cytotoxicity of all the test
    samples on SK-OV-3 was significantly stronger than on HO-8910 and Bel-7402.
    In general, R. officinalis L. essential oil showed greater activity than its
    components in both antibacterial and anticancer test systems (1), and the
    activities were mostly related to their concentrations.”

    2. HAIR GROWTH

    Stimulating for the scalp, rosemary essential oil uses include helping with
    dandruff and dry scalp treatment that may facilitate hair growth. Some even go
    as far as to say that it can prevent hair loss and graying.
    Years ago, Francesc Casadó Galcerá patented a lotion for scalp and hair (US
    6447762 B1), including a mixture of rosemary, hops, and swertia. He found that
    his blend was able to stimulate (2):
     New hair growth, by as much as 22%

     Stimulated “rapid” hair growth

     Improved scalp health via microcirculation

     Smoother hair

     Retained hair, with fewer incidences of loss after shampooing


    Application: Include rosemary essential oil uses in  DIY shampoo and
    conditioner formulas  for improved scalp health and hair growth.

    3. MEMORY RETENTION

    “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance, pray you love, remember.


    ~ Ophelia (Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”)
    Rosemary has been known as the “herb of remembrance” for centuries. Greek
    scholars used it when taking exams to help recall important information, and
    allusions to its memory improvement have been peppered into poetry
    throughout the ages. The International Journal of Neuroscience  published one
    study that confirmed these effects in recent science.
    Over 140 participants were gathered for the study conducted by University of
    Northumbria, Newcastle. Aromatherapy including healing rosemary essential
    oil uses and lavender, as well as a control group were utilized to affect
    cognitive performance.
     Regarding lavender and it’s calming abilities, “lavender  produced a
    significant decrement in performance of working memory, and impaired
    reaction times for both memory and attention based tasks.”
     On the other hand, as a memory stimulant, “rosemary produced a
    significant enhancement of performance for overall quality of memory
    and secondary memory factors.”
    In other words, lavender made participants feel relaxed and complacent, while
    rosemary increased alertness and provoked memory retention (3).
    Test taking and alert feelings pale in comparison to the studies conducted on
    rosemary essential oil uses in relation to Alzheimer’s disease. One such study,
    published in Psychogeriatrics, evaluated the effects of aromatherapy on 28
    elderly people suffering from dementia, with the majority also diagnosed with
    Alzheimer’s disease. They were given rosemary and lemon inhalations in the
    morning, then lavender and orange in the evening. Through multiple tests (4)
    and forms of analysis, the “patients showed significant improvement in
    personal orientation” without any deleterious side effects.
    Application: Add rosemary to a diffuser while studying, taking a test, or
    working.

    4. LIVER & GALLBLADDER SUPPORT

    The primary function of the liver is to detoxify the body, and with such heavy
    levels of toxins exposed to us on a daily basis, sometimes it can use a little
    help.
    Traditional rosemary essential oil uses includes digestive and gastrointestinal
    relief (5). Coupled with liver support, rosemary becomes a fantastic detoxifier.
    This hepatoprotective ability (liver protecting) has been confirmed in
    studies where it was observed helping the body increase its bile production
    and improve healthy liver enzyme levels. When these processes are inhibited,
    fat metabolism and detoxification are inhibited, and risks for type
    II diabetes increase.
    With a properly functioning liver, gallbladder, and gastrointestinal system,
    nutrients are more readily absorbed and toxins released, bringing balance and
    wellness to the whole body.
    Application: Try adding a drop of rosemary to your favorite bath bomb recipe or
    in a detox diffuser blend. 

    5. REDUCED CORTISOL LEVELS


    The Meikai University School of Dentistry in Japan conducted a study that
    monitored cortisol levels in saliva after just five minutes of rosemary essential
    oil uses and lavender inhalation. Twenty-two volunteers participated, and both
    essential oils had excellent results. Not only was the “stress hormone” cortisol
    reduced significantly, but free radical scavenging activities (6) were increased
    as well. So the oils help to prevent added stress, then go a step further to help
    erase effects of previous stressful exertion.
    Application: Use rosemary with other stress-relief essential oils like lavender in
    a personal inhaler for on-the-go stress management!

    EASY DIY USES

    Clearly a safe and effective oil, rosemary’s benefits can be implemented in


    many ways. Here are just some of my favorite DIY recipes for application:
     Inhalation – Add 5 drops to your favorite diffuser.
     Dietary Supplementation – Dilute 1 drop in a teaspoon of honey
    or coconut oil.
     Culinary Use – Next time your recipe calls for rosemary, add a drop or
    two and experience a Heavenly burst of flavor!
     Topical Application – Enjoy its antioxidant and antiseptic properties
    on the skin, but be sure to heavily dilute with coconut, almond, or
    jojoba oil before applying to skin.
    A NOTE ON SEIZURES & HYPERTENSION

    This is tough one for me to figure out because there’s virtually no research on
    that rosemary essential oil uses are contraindicated because of seizures (7) in
    the last 20 years and the only couple articles that I can find are case studies
    (8).
    Nonetheless virtually every blog that I see on the topic state that rosemary is
    contraindicated for epileptics and people prone to seizures. This is most likely
    due to the rich camphor levels in the oil, which can trigger seizures in some.
    You’ll want to use caution is this is something you or a loved one may be prone
    to.
    “Long story short, a lot of the seizure lists floating around the internet are not
    accurate nor real pictures of the risks and threats. None of them seemingly
    account for species or chemotype, which makes a difference in this matter. As
    far as a list of oils with convulsant properties, I would check essential oils
    safety expert Robert Tisserand’s work, but with the understanding that this list
    can no way give a complete risk profile because of the nature of epilepsy an
    other seizure disorders.”
    Same message applies to hypertension. According to Tisserand “I believe that
    there is no case for contraindicating any essential oil in someone with high
    blood pressure. As well as closely examining the evidence above, I also refer to
    more recent research, which confirms that the four “Valnet oils” present no
    risk. The lack of compelling evidence (9) is reason enough to let go of this
    chimera.”
    If these are areas of concern for you, please contact your physician before
    utilizing rosemary essential oil uses.
