The Benefits of Rosemary

Rosemary & Bay Leaf remains one of our most popular fragrances, and it’s easy to see why. This beautiful, herbal aroma has the earthy notes of a garden with delightful freshness and familiarity. Take a long breath of rosemary and you may feel your shoulders unclenching.

1. Better Memory

Rosemary itself has been lauded as a medicinal ingredient for many generations, with some suggesting it can improve one’s memory. Your sense of smell is connected to your past in a way that your other senses struggle to capture, and rosemary itself is emblematic of this restorative power.

In a number of studies, rosemary was associated with bettering memory performance when compared to other essential oils, such as lavender.

2. Clearer Thinking

Memory isn’t the only function thought to be enhanced by rosemary. It has also been linked to improving overall cognitive performance, enhancing focus and concentration. So you might like to consider lighting a Rosemary & Bay Leaf Candle next time you’re studying or working, or else positioning a Reed Diffuser on your desk or study area.

3. Decreased Stress

Rosemary has also been linked with decreasing cortisol levels, which are responsible for stress. If you’re having a particularly stressful day at work or if you’re studying for a difficult test, you might like to consider using the scent to help calm and relax you. Reducing stress can help with releasing muscle tension, allowing for a better night’s rest overall.

During our busy lives, it’s often difficult to remember to take time for yourself. Scent can have an enormous impact on our well-being and mental health. This is why some massage parlours and wellness spas use rosemary, lavender, and other herbal essential oils to encourage restoration and relaxation.

Our Rosemary & Bay Leaf range uses essential oils and the finest, sustainably sourced ingredients. The fragrance collection will fill your home with beautiful earthy, herbal notes and, beyond that, it may even boost your mental productivity and encourage relaxation. So it’s no surprise to us that the Wild Ethos Rosemary & Bay collection is so beloved by our customers.
