7 Essential Oils to Improve Memory- Give these 7 essential oils a try and see how easy it can be to naturally stimulate your mind and improve your memory.
Stress, age, and day to day chaos can affect your memory and cause you to forget things. Over time our memory can fade or be obstructed by stress, causing us to feel scattered and disorganized. If you are looking for a natural way to boost your memory, take a look at these 7 Essential Oils to Improve Memory. With the use of these oils, you may find that you feel more alert, focused, and able to tackle daily to do lists just a little bit easier. Here is how to get started!

7 Essential Oils to Improve Memory

1. Lemon oil
Lemon oil as well as citrus based oils are great for improving memory and helping you feel more mentally alert. Inhale a few drops from your palm when you need a quick pick me up. You can also diffuse it in your “thinking space” such as your office to help keep your mind sharp. Do you have a huge meeting or work project coming up? Keep that lemon oil on hand so you are thinking clear and organized thoughts!

2. Cypress oil
Cypress oil has a rich and woodsy scent, which is a nice detour from the traditional citrus oils most use for memory improvement. You can diffuse cypress oil in your office or thinking space, or apply it to pulse points or palms when you need to feel more alert. It can really bring out your creativity and leave you feeling more at ease so you can focus.

3. Peppermint oil
Have you ever heard how teachers give their students peppermints to eat before a big test? Using peppermint oil can have the same effect. It can help wake up your senses, make your memory sharper, and help you feel more alert. Just add a few drops to the temples or inhale as needed.

4. Rosemary oil
Rosemary oil is one the most revered oils when it comes to improving memory and metal alertness. It has a very soothing and aromatic scent that can alone trigger your mind to remember stored information. It can also help your body relax and feel more at ease, which can increase your mental awareness.

5. Basil oil
Basil isn’t just for the kitchen. Basil oil can help you feel more alert and mentally aware. Diffuse basil oil in your work space or try inhaling it when you need a quick pick me up. It offers a nice, rich scent if you aren’t inclined to the citrus oils that most use for mental alertness.

6. Jasmine oil
Jasmine oil has a lovely exotic scent, and is perfect for helping your mind feel more clear, alert, and sharp. Diffuse jasmine oil in your work or thinking space, or inhale it whenever you need a mental pick me up.

7. Rose oil
Rose oil is one of the pricier essential oils, but the sweet soothing scent can help clear your mind and leave you feeling more alert, creative, and mentally organized. Use rose oil on pulse points, diffused, or inhaled anytime you want to treat yourself to a mental pick me up.

Essential oils can leave you feeling more alert and leave your mind feeling clear and organized. Give these essential oils to improve memory a try and see how easy it can be to naturally stimulate your mind and leave you feeling your best!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
