Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Mediterranean and European herbal practices. It has been used to address a variety of ailments, including digestive issues, memory problems, and circulatory complaints. Its use for chest pain—sometimes referred to as “angina” or non-cardiac chest discomfort—primarily arises from its reputed effects on circulation and as a mild analgesic and antispasmodic. Traditional herbalists might prepare rosemary as a tea, tincture, or topical oil to “stimulate blood flow” and relieve muscle tension, which could theoretically ease certain types of non-cardiac chest pain like musculoskeletal discomfort or mild spasms.

However, it is important to note that there is limited direct scientific evidence supporting rosemary’s effectiveness specifically for chest pain (angina pectoris or other causes). Most contemporary research on rosemary focuses on its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. While these properties could contribute to general health, no robust clinical trials or systematic reviews directly validate rosemary’s efficacy for chest pain. Therefore, current use for this condition is based mainly on traditional knowledge rather than scientific substantiation. For any persistent or severe chest pain, especially if of cardiac origin, medical evaluation is essential, as traditional remedies should not replace appropriate medical care.
