Rosemary Oil, With Memory & Concentration Enhancing Properties

Rosemary has been a medicinal herb since the 16th century, often used in healing preparations. It has a herbaceous freshness with minty undertones which are attributed to it being a member of the mint family.

Rosemary has received recent exposure in the media limelight, with reports suggesting that exam revision students ‘should smell rosemary for memory’^[1]. A study had shown that students studying in an environment where rosemary essential oil was diffused, achieved 5% to 7% better results in memory tests. The study linked the active compound 1,8-cineole to this attribute. This is not a new discovery however, rosemary has been linked to memory for hundreds of years and even gets a mention in Shakespeare’s Hamlet; "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance, pray you love, remember."

Mediterranean countries have been using rosemary in hair care preparations for centuries, due to its reputation for having stimulating properties.
