3 Essential Oils for Memory and Quick Recipes for Using Them Every Day

Realizing that you're having trouble remembering things can be so frustrating.

Have you tried using essential oils for memory support?

They can really help!

The way that scent affects us never fails to inspire me. Certain aromas can have an almost magical, transporting ability—taking us to a different place in our minds and a different state of being in our emotions.

They can also help to trigger our memories and support mental sharpness and clarity.

When I use essential oils for memory, I like to choose oils that encourage circulation in the head, support deep breathing (and the sense of clarity that comes with that), and bring a sense of mental focus and concentration that can make you feel "on top of your game."

I want to share three essential oils that help with all of that!

Rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis ct. camphor)
Cardamom essential oil (Elettaria cardamomum)
Sweet Orange essential oil (Citrus sinensis)

Here are three ways to use these essential oils for memory. 

These recipes take less than two minutes to make!

The Memorable Trio Diffuser Blend 

  • 3 drops Cardamom essential oil (Elettaria cardamomum)

  • 2 drops Rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis ct. camphor)

  • 2 drops Sweet Orange essential oil (Citrus sinensis)

I like to use diffuser blends like this when I'm working on a project at home or when I am reading and want to concentrate. It's not too relaxing, so it's perfect for the morning, afternoon, or early evening.

The Memorable Trio Aromatherapy Inhaler 

  • 4 drops Rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis ct. camphor)

  • 7 drops Cardamom essential oil (Elettaria cardamomum)

  • 5 drops Sweet Orange essential oil (Citrus sinensis)

Aromatherapy inhalers are wonderful! They're about the size of a lip balm tube. 

In the first 2 minutes of this video about Rosemary, you can watch me demonstrate the process of making an inhaler. (I have a beautiful reusable one in the video, but you can also get disposable plastic ones.) 

The Memorable Trio Roll-On Blend

  • 10 ml Jojoba Wax (Simmondsia chinensis)

  • 2 drops Rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis ct. camphor)

  • 2 drops Cardamom essential oil (Elettaria cardamomum)

  • 2 drops Sweet Orange essential oil (Citrus sinensis)

Make this blend in a 10 ml glass roll-on bottle. Combine the jojoba and essential oils, snap the roller top into place, and you're done!

One thing I love about this way of using the oils is that the blend smells so amazing—like perfume!

There are many other essential oils for memory you can work with! 

In this blog post for Rosemary for Memory Roll on, you'll find our friend's Rosemary and Cardamom blended with Sweet Basil ct linalool for a recipe that has a fresh aroma that always makes my head feel clear.

There you have it—three ways to use essential oils for memory! 

And they'll also help keep your immunity up, support mental focus, and get your most vibrant energy flowing.

Now all you have to do is remember to use them!
