- Rosemary: Known to enhance memory and improve concentration (source 1, source 2).
- Frankincense: Historically used and scientifically proven to possess anti-inflammatory and neuro-supportive properties (source 1, source 2).
- Citrus Oils (Lemon [source 1, source 2], Orange, Grapefruit): Uplifting and energizing, these oils reduce mental fatigue.
How to Use:
