So this is for all of you in academia, whether you are a teacher or a student. Even those of us no longer in school can recall how much memory played a part in our ability to learn. It has been said that the scholars of ancient times wore sprigs of Rosemary in their hair and behind their ears. It was believed to aid in memory retention. This Essential Oil helps reduce nervous tension and occasional fatigue and can be diffused while studying to maintain concentration.

Other oils that are beneficial for concentration include Douglas Fir and the Focus Blend.

FOCUS BLEND

The carefully selected Essential Oils in the FOCUS BLEND work together, supporting efforts of those who have difficulty paying attention and staying on task. Sandalwood, Frankincense, and Lime promote a sense of clarity, while the benefits of Patchouli, Ylang Ylang, and Roman Chamomile are calming and soothing. The pleasing aroma of the FOCUS BLEND makes this Essential Oil blend an easy and delightful one to use.

USES

• Apply to the temples and back of neck when doing tasks that require concentration.

• Apply to wrists or back of hands and inhale deeply to promote a sense of clarity.

• Use at work to stay on task or when feeling tired mid-afternoon.

• Dispense on a clay pendant and place on a desk or in other key areas in a classroom.

PRIMARY BENEFITS

Of course, there is always the task of staying awake when you are working or reading. It’s easy, especially during that afternoon slump, to experience lethargy. Wild Orange, Peppermint, White Fir, Thyme, and Lemongrass all have properties that support wakefulness and alertness.

QUESTION – WOULD YOU PREFER TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS MORE FOR MEMORY, CONCENTRATION, OR FOR ALERTNESS?
