Anxiety is one of the most prevalent mental disorders in the world. Unfortunately, existing medications for it are associated with adverse side effects. Many patients suffering from anxiety now prefer alternative treatment methods, which include the use of herbal medicines. A group of researchers from Iran showed that hydroalcoholic extracts of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) have potential use as a natural remedy for anxiety. In this study, which was published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, the researchers determined the herb’s anti-anxiety effects through an in vivo study involving mice.
Overall, the results of the study showed that the hydroalcoholic extract of rosemary has potent anti-anxiety effects, which are attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds like flavonoids.
