How Rosemary Oil Stimulates the Scalp (Backed by Studies)

Rosemary Isn’t Just for Cooking

This herbal oil has been shown in clinical studies to rival minoxidil in promoting hair growth — without the irritation.

How It Works:

  • Boosts blood circulation

  • Reduces DHT at the hair follicle level

  • Contains anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds

A 2015 study found that rosemary oil used for six months significantly improved hair count in people with androgenic alopecia — with fewer side effects than drug-based treatments.

How to Add It to Your Routine:

  • Mix a few drops with a carrier oil (like jojoba or pumpkin seed)

  • Massage into the scalp 3–4 times per week

  • Be patient — results take 3–6 months, but the journey is gentle and worth it
