2) Brain Health
Rosemary’s scent is known to be a “cognitive stimulant†resulting in a more awake state, focus and memory improvement by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, a chemical found in the brain, that contributes to concentration. Memory moods may also be uplifted, and drowsiness reduced.

3) Scalp and Hair Health
Rosemary can be used as an oil. As an oil Rosemary assists in hair growth, maintains a healthy scalp and decreases the effects of testosterone on hair follicles.
