1. Rosemary has been shown to improve memory, focus, and overall cognitive function. Its neuroprotective compounds, such as rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid, help combat oxidative stress in the brain and may protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. [R1], [R2], [R3], [R4]

2. Rosemary is packed with antioxidants, particularly flavonoids and diterpenes, which help protect the body from oxidative damage. These antioxidants not only support brain health but also contribute to the plant’s anti-inflammatory effects. [R1], [R2]

3. Rosemary has been used to support digestive function. It helps relieve indigestion, bloating, and gas by promoting bile flow and easing muscle tension in the digestive tract. [R1], [R2]

1. Ginkgo biloba has been extensively studied for its effects on memory, focus, and mental clarity. The active compounds, particularly flavonoids and terpenoids, enhance cerebral blood flow, which improves cognitive function. [R1], [R2], [R3], [R4], [R5]

2. Ginkgo’s antioxidant properties, primarily due to its high flavonoid content, protect neurons from oxidative damage. Ginkgo’s anti-inflammatory effects are also beneficial for reducing neuroinflammation, which plays a role in age-related cognitive decline. [R1], [R2], [R3]

3. One of Ginkgo’s most well-documented benefits is its ability to improve blood circulation, especially to the brain. Improved circulation helps oxygenate tissues and protect them from damage. [R1], [R2], [R3]

4. Ginkgo has been shown to help reduce symptoms of anxiety and improve overall mood. This effect is likely due to improved blood flow and its role in regulating neurotransmitter systems like serotonin and dopamine. [R1], [R2], [R3]

1. The aroma of peppermint has been shown to enhance cognitive function, specifically improving memory and concentration. Inhaling peppermint essential oil can help reduce mental fatigue and increase alertness, making it a useful tool for enhancing focus during mentally demanding tasks. [R1]
