Do you know…..…..In recent years, neurologists have discovered that our brain continues to change throughout our lives due to the phenomenon of plasticity i.e. modern research has demonstrated that the brain continues to create new neural pathways and alter existing ones in order to adapt to new experiences, learn new information, and create new memories. It’s very important to have good memory to lead a normal, quality, healthy life. There are plenty of ways to promote a better memory by eating healthy, avoiding alcohol abuse, implementing cognitive exercises, consuming modern medicine and the natural approach of using Essential Oils, though more research needs to be conducted. We have to have the understanding that nothing works instantly and will have to administer patience with positive affirmation. 

Essential Oils have been used since centuries for variety of health benefits. When an aroma is inhaled, it travels through our olfactory system to the limbic system of the brain (that includes the Hippocampus-responsible for long-term memory, the Amygdala-associated with emotions, the Hypothalamus-regulates the autonomic nervous system and hormones, and the Cingulate gyrus-regulates blood pressure, heart rate) and exhibits profound psychological and physiological effects. Essential Oils could be used to stimulate the brain for the benefit of increased cognition, mood boost, mental fatigue, relaxation, and other benefits, as essential oils pass through the blood-brain barrier with relative ease. This allows the oils to reach the site of injury and reduce the inflammation more effectively.

Some of the oils considered good for our brain fitness are:

Rosemary Essential Oil

Peppermint Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil

Lemon Essential Oil

Vetiver Essential Oil

Grapefruit Essential Oil

Basil Essential Oil

Frankincense Essential Oil

Can use these essential oils in any combination in the diffuser, or for direct inhalation, or apply topically on the skin with proper dilution and safety precautions (refer to aromawellness.net).
