Rosemary
Rosemary is a popular herb used for centuries in the kitchen and herbal medicine. It’s well known for its high content of antioxidants, which have been shown to help fight free radicals, and it’s been used to treat various issues, including liver disease, respiratory issues, skin problems, and digestive problems.
The active ingredient in rosemary is known as rosmarinic acid (RA) and has been found to help speed wound healing and fight infection. In addition, RA is an effective anti-bacterial agent that stops existing bacterial growth and prevents new bacteria from forming. This makes rosemary an effective treatment against skin infections like acne or psoriasis and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).
One way you can use rosemary oil to treat skin infections is by mixing it with a carrier oil such as jojoba or almond oil and applying the mixture to the affected area. You may also choose to dilute the rosemary oil with a carrier oil before applying it topically. However, Rosemary oil should not be applied directly to your skin after being diluted first since it can irritate if used undiluted.
