Abstract in brief

  • The study found that exposure to rosemary essential oil aroma increases absorbed 18cinole levels in the blood, which is linked to better performance on cognitive tasks, particularly in speed and accuracy.
  • The research demonstrated that higher concentrations of absorbed 18cineole are associated with improved cognitive performance, and these effects are not due to a trade-off between speed and accuracy.
  • While the relationship between 18cineole and mood changes was weaker, a significant negative correlation was observed between plasma 18cineole levels and feelings of contentment, suggesting separate pathways influence cognition and mood.

Researchers believe rosemary may boost cognitive function by enhancing acetylcholine activity in the brain. More research needed, but you can still enjoy it in your recipes. https://t.co/WbOesx5Xws #memory https://t.co/nVvU5esFgw

Rosemary oil is known for supporting memory. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cognition. It was also shown in a study to support hair loss, head-to-head equal to drug: https://t.co/5U2GPSqXav https://t.co/tc1FPsCqKx #rosemaryoil #brain #hairloss https://t.co/v5PX5lstjT
