Rosemary promotes hair growth as it contains ursolic acid, which increases scalp circulation, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients reach the hair follicles. Greying and falling of hair is also reduced by use of rosemary, due to its high antioxidant content that wards off free radicals. Rosemary also contains antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties which help fight dandruff and scalp irritation.
