Essential Oil – Rosemary

Cognitive & Mental Performance

• Memory Enhancement: Famously used to stimulate the brain’s ability to retain information and improve long-term memory recall.

• Mental Alertness: Helps to eliminate "brain fog" and lethargy, making it ideal for morning use or during long drives.

• Focus & Concentration: Widely diffused in workspaces or classrooms to keep the mind sharp and prevent mental fatigue during complex tasks.

Emotional & Nervous System Support

• Stress Reduction: Helps to lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) when inhaled, providing a sense of calm without causing drowsiness.

• Confidence Booster: Used to help clear self-doubt and provide a sense of mental strength during times of change or transition.

• Mood Elevation: Its bright, camphoraceous scent acts as a natural pick-me-up to combat feelings of sadness or stagnation.

Physical & Respiratory Relief

• Sinus & Airway Support: Acts as a powerful decongestant when used in steam inhalation to help clear mucus and ease seasonal allergies.

• Circulation Stimulant: Inhaled or used in massage (diluted) to help encourage blood flow, which can help warm cold extremities.

• Natural Pain Management: Often used in blends for tension headaches or to reduce the perception of physical pain through olfactory stimulation.

• Avoid if you have epilepsy or high blood pressure, as its stimulating nature can be too intense.
• It is also best avoided before bedtime as it may interfere with sleep.
