Rosmarinus officinalis L. (Lamiaceae), popularly known as rosemary, is used for food flavoring, and in folk medicine, as an antispasmodic, analgesic, anti-rheumatic, diuretic, and antiepileptic agent. Rosemary is an herb widely used in folk medicine, cosmetics, and phytotherapy and for flavoring of food products. Studies have focused on various biological activities of the secondary metabolites of this plant, such as rosmarinic acid, which have powerful antioxidant, hepato-protective, antimicrobial, anti-nociceptive, and anti-inflammatory properties.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
