Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Mediterranean cultures. It is often included in herbal formulas to support digestive health, including the liver and gall bladder. Traditional herbalists have used rosemary to stimulate bile flow, which is important for fat digestion and gall bladder function. The plant contains compounds like cineole, camphor, and rosmarinic acid, which are believed to promote bile production and secretion. However, while animal studies and in vitro research have shown rosemary may stimulate bile flow (choleretic effect), robust clinical trials in humans specifically linking rosemary to improved gall bladder health or prevention of gallstones are lacking. Most of the evidence comes from traditional use and limited experimental studies rather than large, controlled human trials. Therefore, the justification for rosemary's use in supporting the gall bladder is primarily traditional, with some suggestive but not conclusive scientific evidence. Overall, rosemary is best regarded as a supportive herb based on historical usage rather than a rigorously validated treatment for gall bladder conditions.
