Sniffing Rosemary Can Increase Memory By 75%
Rosemary has many well known health benefits but scientists are now studying its specific effects with regard to memory with outstanding results.
Rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis) is member of the mint family along with other popular and fragrant herbs such as thyme, oregano, lavender and basil. It is native to the Mediterranean but is now popular throughout the world as a healing herb and a delicious ingredient in many dishes. It has numerous health benefits including alleviating muscle pain, helping with hair growth, boosting the immune system, improving the circulatory system, relieving stress as well as improving memory.
In 2003 the International Journal Of Neuroscience published a study by M.Moss, J.Cook, K.Wesnes and P.Duckett which examined the effect of inhaling the aromas of the essential oils of lavender (lavandula angustifolia) and rosemary (rosmarlnus officinalis) on cognitive performance and mood in a group of 144 healthy volunteers (i). The study concluded that the inhalation of rosemary essential oil significantly enhanced the performance for overall quality of memory and secondary memory factors of the participants who had no idea of the aim of the research.
