Is The Viral Rosemary Oil Treatment The Secret To Hair Regrowth?
With over 100 million views on TikTok alone, the viral rosemary hair treatment method claims that the oil can help stimulate hair growth, and is not short on tutorials and results to boot. Is there truth in the results it touts? What is the science behind the oil that’s been used as food and medicine for centuries?
Breaking Down Rosemary Oil
Rosemary is both a culinary and healing herb, native to the Mediterranean region. The oil’s health uses range from antioxidant benefits and anti-inflammation to memory enhancement and more. The most common uses for Rosemary include perfumes, skincare, and haircare as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial ingredient. In recent years, rising claims that the oil may be great for hair growth have triggered online interest and trends to grow in prevalence and popularity.
The Benefits
The claim that rosemary oil encourages hair growth may stem from the rosemary’s basic health benefits. The plant in essential oil form is said to:
have anti-inflammatory properties
promote nerve growth
improve circulation
Studies have shown that such healing properties found in rosemary can promote healing in the skin and scalp, stimulate growth and improve circulation for overall hair health. Specific benefits pertaining to hair loss include:
Vasodilation and Vasoconstriction Properties: By acting as a vasodilator, Rosemary oil has been proven to open and dilate blood vessels so blood flows more easily through blood vessels, improving circulation. When applied to the scalp, an increased blood flow can help follicles receive nourishment and overall improve hair and scalp health.
Promotes Growth: Studies performed comparing Rosemary oil to topicals such as Minoxidil have been found to increase hair growth similar to Minoxidil, with patients with some types of hair loss reporting seeing or feeling more hair over time.
