Traditional medicine has long been known for the healing properties of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), which researchers are increasingly interested in. This review examines rosemary's medicinal profile, phytochemical composition, and pharmacological properties, with a focus on its antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. An extensive analysis is done on rosemary's bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and essential oils, with a focus on their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. This article combines current research to provide a better understanding of rosemary's health benefits and its potential use in disease prevention and treatment. Further studies are necessary to establish the safety profiles and clinical efficacy of rosemary, which will enable its integration into modern medicine.
