Pharmacological Effects
Musculoskeletal pains caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and joint trauma are one of the most common complaints of patients and the reason for visiting the clinics. It is important to use chemical medicines such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain. However, long-term use of these drugs can cause renal, heart and especially gastrointestinal problems. Conversely, the use of herbs reduces pain without complication. Rosemary ointment is a product made from rosemary and menthol essential oils. Rosemary is a plant that has long been used to treat rheumatism, and muscle and joint pains. Today, the pharmacological, antibacterial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and antioxidant effects of rosemary have been proven.
Rosemary’s oil contains terpene compounds, including monoterpenes, terpene, and sesquiterpenes. Carnosic acid and ursolic acid as the active ingredient of this plant have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Polyphenols include apigenin, eugenol, rosmarinic acid, and caffeic acid, which also have antioxidant and anti-tumor properties.
