The natural compound 1,8-cineole makes up about 30% of rosemary oil. Because of 1,8-cineole, exposure to the aroma of rosemary oil has been found to be able to improve cognitive performance.
Rosemary oil can help keep memories and cognition sharp even when they’re supposed to decline.
It’s also possible that rosemary oil in aromatherapy may be able to help improve the condition of dementia patients.
Try it in aromatherapy, perfumes, room sprays, candles and as a scent for soaps, bath salts, and massage oils.
