The aim of the study was to gather the main scientific data on the phytotherapy effects of rosemary with an impacton chronic headaches. An integrative review was carried out on the phytotherapy effects of rosemary. The Virtual Health Library, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences, PubMed and SciELO databases were used to collect scientific data. The search for articles in the databases was carried out using the descriptors extracted from DeCS/MeSH "Headache" (D006261); "Medicinal plants" (D010946); "Rosmarinus" (D027542), together with the Boolean operators "AND and OR". 2,618 articles were identified in the databases, but only 5 articles were selected for research according to the study's inclusion criteria. Rosemary has significant effects, with prevalent findings for the treatment of chronic headaches, as well as being used for other therapeutic purposes such as analgesics and anti-inflammatories. It can be concluded that the use of the natural product Rosmarinus officinalis L. has numerous benefits for human health, especially for chronic headaches, as long as there is knowledge of how to harvest and use it.
