How Rosemary Oil Benefits Health

May Ease Inflammation

One of the most powerful benefits of rosemary oil is it may ease inflammation. One condition associated with significant inflammation is rheumatoid arthritis. A study in which patients with this condition were given knee massages with or without rosemary oil concluded the addition of rosemary oil reduced knee pain by fifty percent; the control group, in which the massages were given without rosemary oil, only experienced a twelve percent reduction in pain. Patients with injuries such as tendonitis and other ailments associated with inflammation may also experience relief when using rosemary oil. Early research in test-tube studies has suggested rosemary oil may hold promise in reducing the inflammation associated with the development of cancerous tumors.
