3. Protects the Brain
During the day, we absorb toxins from our environment, as well as the food and beverages we drink. These toxins accumulate in the digestive system and the bloodstream. The blood carries the toxins to the brain where they start to choke up neural pathways, making you feel tired.
One of the magical natural ingredients in rosemary responsible for its therapeutic and medicinal properties is carnosic acid. This compound fights off free radical damage in the brain, helping it clear the neural pathways of toxins accumulated during the day.
As a result of this cleansing effect on the brain, the user will notice they sleep better at night, and they can maintain a stable, balanced mood throughout the day. Mix some crushed rosemary into your meals, and add a few drops of the essential oil to a diffuser for use when you sleep. The medicated steam does wonders for the brain’s recovery from oxidative stress.
