Memory Blend Aromatherapy Recipe

From Grandma's Desk:
This is a blend I started making when I was trying to learn Spanish. I think it helped some and everyone in the class loved it, even our teacher loved using it. I have read studies that state that if you study in the same atmosphere as you take a test your more likely to score higher. Also our sense of smell is our strongest memory cue. It is difficult to always study in the same room as you will be tested. But if you use aromatherapy while you study you can wear a scent or use a personal diffuser to recreate that atmosphere and trigger our memory. So here is the recipe:

For Focus use equal parts Lavender and Rosemary, if putting them on your skin directly add 1 part focus blend to 2 parts jojoba oil. This is great when you are in class and need to be able to really focus on what your are doing.

Memory blend
4 drops lavender
3 drops geramium
3 drops rosewood
3 drops rosemary
2 drops tangerine
1 drop spearmint

use a dropper full of jojoba oil to the blend if you are using on your skin, if using in a diffuser keep it pure essential oil.

apply to temples, forehead, mastoids, brain stem area, also around the ears.
Use in a diffuser or on a tissue for studying then wear on pulse points when it comes time for test taking. It is a lovely blend.

If you feel tired or drousy and need to an easy pick me up use sweet orange essential oil for an easy energy boost. I use this in my personal diffuser when I am driving alternating with zen winter mist from H2O at Home. Both oils can be purchased on www.myh2oathome.com/karrie.
