    TLDR Rosemary oil may help hair growth like 2% minoxidil.
    This study reviews the potential of rosemary essential oil (Salvia rosmarinus), combined with epicranial massage and high frequency, to stimulate hair growth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia. The findings suggest that rosemary oil may have similar clinical effects to 2% minoxidil, potentially due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. While epicranial massage and high frequency might enhance local circulation and scalp balance, the scientific evidence for their combined use is limited. The study concludes that rosemary oil shows promise as a complementary treatment for hair growth, but highlights the need for more robust clinical trials and standardized protocols to better understand its effects and those of the associated techniques.
