Rosemary oil has various benefits which are listed below –
– Accelerates Brain Function
As per research, smelling rosemary oil plays an important role in increasing your concentration and promotes brain function. It activates a part of the brain which boosts memory retention.
– Strengthens hair
One of the biggest reasons for hair loss in men is due to androgenetic alopecia. This is due to the presence of androgen, a byproduct of testosterone hormone in males which is known to cause damage to the hair follicles. Rosemary oil prevents the formation of androgen and hence works as a powerful tonic to strengthen hair. If you apply this hair regularly, you might see the volume increase.
– Strengthens the nerves
Apart from thickening hair and boosting brain function, rosemary oil also accelerates blood circulation which in turn helps strengthen the nerves in the body. During the winter season, blood circulation often reduces in the body. Apply rosemary oil and massage your body with it.
– Reduces joint pain
Rubbing rosemary oil has shown beneficial results in treating joint pain as well. Studies have found that this oil has anti-inflammatory properties, which help in reducing swelling, pain and stiffness in the joint. In a study, participants suffering from arthritis took massages with rosemary oil for 15 minutes. After two weeks, the swelling was reduced by at least 12 percent.
– Reduces stress
Due to a hectic lifestyle, there can be many reasons for stress. Applying rosemary oil can help in reducing stress and anxiety. A study was conducted, in which it was found that participants who smelled rosemary oil and then asked difficult questions, showed reduced anxiety and stress.
