Aim: The purpose of this review paper is to elaborate many nano-formulations of Rosemary which are used against many diseases and also explain the Pharmacological activity of phytocompounds of Rosemary and details about the applications and uses of Rosemary in many fields. Objectives: Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a medicinal herbal plant, their leaves are used in Europe, America, and Asia as a food additive. It is very valuable, their parts contain many chemical constituents which are very effective against many diseases like diabetes, obesity, cancer, infections and also have antioxidant, anti-inflammation, memory-improvement, etc. properties. Results: In the literature reviewed, Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) has shown exciting potential both as a natural food preservative and as a therapeutic agent. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) essential oil has been extensively studied due to its chemical composition and biological activities. The extract of Rosemary also shows the medicinal properties like anticancer, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory etc. From many studies, it was also found that nano-formulation of Rosemary had been developed by using the Rosemary essential oil and its extract which are used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Conclusion: From the conventional times, therapeutic effects of Rosemary are seen, which is also used in Modern Medicine now days. It had been used as food additives in the conventional times. In renal colic and dysmenorrhea, it is used as an antispasmodic to relieve respiratory disorders and to boost hair development. CNS, cardiac and locomotive activity promotes inhalation and oral administration of Rosemary oil, suggesting the direct effect of one or more of its constituents. Rosemary have curative potential in the therapy and avoidance of bronchial asthma, peptic ulcer, spasmodic disorders, inflammatory illnesses, atherosclerosis, hepatotoxicity, cancer, ischemic heart illness, bad sperm motility, Alzheimer, and may act as antidepressant and anxiolytic properties.

ABSTRACT: The Aim of the Present Study Was to Evaluate the Yield, Chemical Constituents and Determine the Chemotype of the Essential Oil Obtained from Different Rosemary Plants Growing in Different Accessions of Rosemary Fields. About four Plant Samples Were Analyzed for Essential Oil Yield and the Essential Oil Yield Varied from 0.88% To 1.2%. the Essential Oil Samples Were Further Analyzed by Gas Chromatography (GC) for the Purpose of Identification of Chemical Constituents Present in Them. It Was Contended from the Results That the Selected Plants Differed from Each Other in Terms of Chemical Constituents.Camphor Content Was Foundin Higher Amount in All the Foursamples, Thus it Could Be Inferred That the Plants Are Camphor Chemotype.
