A landmark 2015 clinical trial showed rosemary oil is as effective as minoxidil 2% (Rogaine) for androgenetic alopecia after 6 months, with less scalp itching. Rosemary oil increases blood circulation to hair follicles, stimulates cellular metabolism, and has anti-DHT properties that slow hormonal hair loss.
Mix 5 drops rosemary essential oil with 1 tablespoon carrier oil (coconut or jojoba). Massage into scalp for 2-3 minutes. Leave on for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Wash out with gentle shampoo. Apply 2-3 times per week.
Do not ingest rosemary oil. Always dilute before applying. Avoid during pregnancy (may stimulate menstruation). Patch test first. Results take 3-6 months.
