Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, including as a treatment for fever. In various folk traditions, especially in Europe and the Mediterranean region, rosemary was used in teas, tinctures, or baths to "cool" the body and manage feverish states. The rationale for this use was often based on the herb's aromatic properties, believed to "stimulate circulation" and promote sweating, which was thought to help break fevers. However, this traditional use is not strongly supported by modern scientific research. Contemporary studies on rosemary primarily focus on its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effects, but there is little direct evidence demonstrating efficacy specifically for treating or reducing fever. The rating of 1 reflects the existence of traditional use but highlights the lack of substantial clinical or pre-clinical data to validate its effectiveness for fever. While rosemary does contain compounds (such as rosmarinic acid and essential oils) with some biological activity, these have not been robustly linked to antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects in scientific literature. Therefore, rosemary's use for fever today is best understood as a traditional practice rather than one grounded in scientific validation.
