Estudios clínicos de Rosmarinus Officinalis L. (Romero): Una Revisión Bibliográfica
Resumen
Rosmarinus officinalis L. (romero) es una planta comestible, medicinal y ornamental, utilizada para el tratamiento de la hiperglucemia, hiperlipemia, trastornos cognitivos, estrés oxidativo, entre otros. Los efectos medicinales del romero se asocian a sus metabolitos secundarios, siendo el ácido carnósico, ácido rosmarínico y carnosol los principales ingredientes bioactivos. La presente investigación engloba una revisión en las plataformas Pubmed y ScienceDirect, con el objetivo de identificar todos los estudios en humanos donde se administró romero, para así determinar las diversas aplicaciones terapéuticas, las dosis empleadas y los tipos de extractos utilizados en la práctica clínica. Los resultados evidencian su actividad a nivel celular y en afecciones bucodentales, dermatológicas, metabólicas, respiratorias, y en trastornos del sistema nervioso central, donde se ha evaluado como aceite esencial, extracto acuoso, alcohólico o sólo hojas pulverizadas de romero, ya sea solo o en conjunto con otras plantas, en cápsulas de 250 mg hasta 10 g, o en té en dosis de 250 mL hasta 1L. Los numerosos estudios respaldan el potencial terapéutico del romero y justifican su continuo estudio en el ámbito de la medicina basada en la evidencia.
