Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) essential oil (ROEO) has been identified as a potential alternative treatment for stress. A study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine looked into ROEO’s potential as a treatment for mood disorders resulting from chronic stress.
The researchers concluded that their findings were sufficient proof of ROEO’s anti-stress properties, making it potentially effective against mood disorders. They added that a clinical trial would be needed to determine ROEO’s effect on clinical depression.
