Abstract:
Rosmarini Officinalis Herba is a common shrubby aromatic plant, which is widely used in traditional food and folk medicine. At present, most of relevant researches focus on rosemary's essential oil, ethanol and water extract, which not only plays an important role in food preservation, preservation and condiments, but also is often used to improve acne, dandruff, circulation function, alleviate muscle pain and fatigue and treat asthma, bronchitis. It has a high application value, and a variety of other pharmacological effects. However, Rosmarini Officinalis Herba has not been included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, with no quality evaluation standard for its medicinal use. The products in the market may have some potential safety hazards in the use process. Therefore, the full understanding of the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of rosemary is crucial for a comprehensive study of the properties and applications of Rosmarini Officinalis Herba. Through the collation and analysis of relevant literatures at home and abroad, it is concluded that Rosmarini Officinalis Herba has anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, anti-depression and other pharmacological effects. The chemical constituents extracted from Rosmarini Officinalis Herba are rich in acid phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids and essential oils. Up to now, there are no systematic and comprehensive report on the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Rosmarini Officinalis Herba. This paper reviews the progress of the researches on the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Rosmarini Officinalis Herba, and discusses its application, in the expectation to lay a foundation for the future research on food development, drug research and clinical application of rosemary.
