Review on Pharmacological, Phytochemical, and Medicinal Properties of Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary)

The review discussed the increasing use of natural medicinal drugs, particularly in developing countries, and highlighted the limited regulation and data on the safety and efficacy of these herbs. Rosemary, a medicinal herb, was noted for its phytochemicals, such as carnosic acid, carnosol, rosmarinic acid, and ursolic acid, which have antioxidative and chemopreventive properties. It was suggested that rosemary might improve blood circulation when applied to the scalp, potentially aiding hair follicle growth, and could also help protect the skin from sun damage.
