Rosmarinwasser in der Forschung

Es gibt zwar nicht allzu viele Untersuchungen über die Wirkungen von Rosmarinwasser im Speziellen, aber zahlreiche Untersuchungen haben sich mit der allgemeinen Wirkung von Rosmarin befasst. Die Ergebnisse sind dabei sehr positiv.

Androgene Alopezie - 1998, 2010, 2011, 2015

In a 1998 study, subjects with alopecia areata were randomized to massage into their scalp daily either just carrier oils or a mixture of carrier oils with rosemary among three other essential oils. Photographs showed that 44% of the essential oils group experienced improvement while only 15% of the control group improved.

Not one but two distinct studies, one in 2010 and one the following year, acknowledged the fact that rosemary water for hair growth was particularly successful when used by people struggling with androgenic alopecia, or pattern baldness.

In 2015, a random comparative trial put standard anti-hair loss treatments to the test by contrasting them with rosemary essential oil. 100 men with androgenetic alopecia took part, with half using an oil lotion containing roughly 1% of the essential oil twice a day and the other half using a 2% minoxidil solution in the same manner. After six months, all participants completed a self-report in the form of a questionnaire and were additionally evaluated by two dermatologists. No improvement was found for either group at 3 months, but at 6 months both groups had increased hair counts, showing that this herbal tincture works just as well as popular medications when it comes to fighting hair loss. Both groups experienced more scalp itching, though less so with the rosemary group.
