Answer: Rosemary and basil essential oils are recognised as oils that help improve memory. Peppermint essential oil is more for alertness because of it fresh scent. Lavender, instead, is relaxing as well as sedative so it doesn't hold you awake. If you have hypertension, please avoid both rosemary and basil as they will raise your blood-pressure..
I've tried to find an answer to this tremendously question so that I may introduce an appropriate scent into my classroom. So far, I've found that orange or lavender are apposite choices. Orange, especially in the mornings. Peppermint, or any mint, helps alertness, so it should backing memory. But really, any scent that you are smelling when you are learning, will help you remember, if you smell it similar to when you take a test. It's an association item.
