Boost Your Mood and Memory with Rosemary
If you cook, you’re probably familiar with Rosemary. It’s an aromatic herb that is used regularly in our cooking routines with meats and vegetables. I sure took it for granted! There it was right in front of me my entire life and I had no idea that Rosemary had such wonderful attributes that positively affect the human senses in more ways than simply taste. Here is some interesting information I’ve curated on the subject of Rosemary as a supplement for overall mood stabilization:
- Researchers Mark Moss and Lorraine Oliver proved that both mental speed and accuracy were improved with the use of Rosemary oil vapors.
- In a clinical trial conducted by Hay et al (1998), it was found that stimulants for hair growth are present.
- “Without a properly functioning circulatory system, one is not mentally sharp. One of the primary reasons why cognitive abilities decline with age is because of reduced blood flow to the brain. It appears that both rosemary and thyme may be viable, dietary tools in combating this unwanted occurrence.” VIA Healthy Fellow
- To inhale the scent of this plant lowers cortisol levels and activates a relaxation response. This enables our bodies’ functions to return to normal after a stressful event and elevates our mood. VIA Underground Health Reporter
