【 摘 要 】

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) has been used for its therapeutic effects since a long time ago.Most of the healing properties of rosemary might be attributed to its antinociceptive, antioxidant, andanti-inflammatory effects. The present review covers the certified patents and discoveries onmedicinal, pharmaceutical, and therapeutic properties of rosemary to disclose its brilliant value onathletes’ health. An extended literature review was carried out in Google Patent, US Patent, andPatentscope in the field of sports injuries, inflammation, and pain. Numerous patents uncovered theimportance of rosemary to apply in various healing, pharmaceutical, and medicinal fields. Thesediscoveries might also be used as complementary methods in sports medicine for sore muscle, muscleand ligament sprain, strain, bruise, spasm, tendinitis, tendon rupture, cartilage, and joint injuries. Dueto a lack of clinical trials, the use of rosemary in the clinic has been limited to a few medicinalproducts. Considering the human trend to use phytocompounds rather than medications based onchemical compounds, precise attention must be devoted to linking the value of rosemary from basicscience to clinical usage.
