I hope you are an Amazon affiliate. I decided to try the pack of three listed under the oil for which you shared the URL. I don't have a diffuser. I'm hoping this helps with my memory and my sleep. I hope my husband doesn't whine about it, though. He complains when I rub on my Sleep Envy at night.
Hopefully your husband will love it! I used the lavender last night. Tomorrow in my post I'm sharing more science-based benefits of essential oils - dealing with improving mood, sleep, and reducing depression. I will also put in this post links to my 2 favorite diffusers. What is Sleep Envy?
This blew my mind! I never would have thought that just smelling essential oils would make your memory as sharp as ever! At home, my mom also uses a diffuser but I think we all have no clue that it can improve your memory. That's probably why she can remember where I put everything and I can't remember what I did with something right when I sit it down somewhere. This article was very interesting and maybe I need to start using essential oils in the future. This is such a good home remedy to use and we should know it works because even the bees loves it as well!
Adriana, I agree; this blew my mind as well! I wish I had known the benefits of applying essential oils sooner. There are so many positive factors in using the different oils. My mom has always struggled with bad migraines, so I am for sure going to invest in peppermint essential oils. I struggle with focusing and memory, so I am interested In finding oils that can help me.

Hi Adriana! I also had no idea that diffusing essential oils would be able to improve memory before reading this article! I am definitely interested in trying out essential oils after reading this study. I wonder if sleeping with a diffuser on would help college students improve their cognitive health, and improve memory and maybe even retention of new information learned in class? I hope more research is conducted on essential oils because this can be a great at-home remedy, just like your mom uses a diffuser at home!
What an amazing thing it is that something as simple as a scent can have such a powerful effect on memory! Maybe your mom is onto something with that diffuser - maybe that's how she always knows where everything is. I think I might give essential oils a go too, particularly when studying or working. And you are so right about bees, they know what they are doing when it comes to using scents for boosting the brain power.
Hey Adriana! My mom likes to use essential oils as well and this makes sense as to why moms remember and know so much. I wonder if using the diffusers is a factor in them having great memory. My mom also grabbed the peppermint essential oil and rubbed it on my temples whenever I got a headache. In about 30 minutes to an hour, my headache would disappear or majorly have reduced aches. I am now invested in seeing what other benefits essential oils have.
It is fantastic that something so simple as using essential oils can improve health, memory, and other critical living factors. There is an oil to help improve so many health obstacles. For instance, Eucalyptus can clear sinuses, ginger reduces nausea, peppermint can relieve headaches, and rosemary enhances focus. Knowing healthy and natural ways to improve our health is always lovely. My mother has always used lavender to help relax her and improve her sleep schedule, but I did not realize the different kinds of oils and how we can benefit from applying them. After reading this article, I will start using essential oils, and I hope to incorporate them into my future children's lives as well.
Hi Raygan! In your discussion, I like how you included specific scents. Some of my favorites are eucalyptus and peppermint. I love using essential oils and I think it is a great thing to incorporate into your life. I am happy that you have decided to start using the essential oils because they truly do help relax the body and mind.
Eucalyptus reminds my of a sauna. As a kid, growing up in Northern Ontario, we had saunas all the time. And my dad would always put eucalyptus on the hot rocks. Love the smell!
Hi Raygan! I agree, it's crazy to think that something so simple can make such an impact on our day-to-day activities. I struggle with really bad headaches so I might just have to try out peppermint oils and hopefully that will help because my headaches are terrible. I also didnt know that lavander makes you relax so I also might have to try that out. Thank for giving me more things to try and use throughout my life!
Hello Raygan! I personally love using peppermint because I have a lot of headaches. It makes my life so much better and I am able to function more on a day to day basis because of it! I am glad your mom uses lavender to help her relax. My sister loves lavender and always has it going in her room. You should definitely start using them especially if you have any health issues.
Hi Raygan! I agree that it is always a benefit to know and understand natural ways to improve our health. I like how you stated the different types of essential oils and specifically what they do. I also appreciate that you stated examples that you have seen with your mother and how essential oils has helped her. I think that this information is super helpful to those trying to solve health problems in an organic way!
Hi Raygan, this is quite a fascinating study with the shared information to raise awareness of the benefits of essential oils. I appreciate your detailed explanation of each result from the various essential oils available. Due to all the oils we will be using, our homes will smell like a peaceful haven, opening the door to our homes for friends and family. Let's just hope they don't wear out their welcome. lol
First, I want to say I am sorry to hear about your parents. I am happy to hear this information because I love diffusers and have always had one in my room. I enjoy the smell of eucalyptus mostly or anything orange related. This is a great thing to hear. My grandpa is starting to show early signs of dementia, and it has been difficult. This may be an affordable thing to try. Thank you for this amazing information!
Hey Halie! I love orange/ citrus smells and maybe it’s just me but I believe when the weather changes the smell or concentration of the smells change too. I am sorry to hear about your grandfather and I hope that using this you are able to help him !
I am so glad that I read this! I have always loved having a diffuser going in my room when I am home. I think the diffusers smell so much better and a lot more natural than candles. I have always been told that essential oils have some health benefits but I have never seen any research to back it up so I am so glad that there is actual evidence! I was not aware that bees love lemon grass and I will be using it sparingly now. Thank you for writing this post and spreading this amazing information!
I totally agree with you—diffusers just feel so much more natural than candles, and it's nice to know there’s actual research behind the benefits of essential oils. I had no idea about the lemongrass and bees either—definitely a lesson learned! I’m excited to try out some new oils now, especially after reading this.
After reading this article, I have realized the importance of smelling essential oils. Personally, I use essential oils all the time at home and typically use either lavender while I am getting ready for bed or eucalyptus while I do homework or studying. As we get older, it is a known fact that we tend to forget things more easily. Using essential oils is a quick and simple way to improve the problem and reduce memory loss. The research behind this amazes me and how our brains prosper on stimulation and that aromatherapy creates the stimuli the brain looks for. Not only does essential oils help with memory, but it also has so many other benefits too!
I typically use candles to kickstart productivity, but I think switiching to essential oils would be a lot healthier for me! I love your idea of eucalyptus for studying. I relate to your amazement of this research and so appreciate this idea for a super simple memory tip! It's cool to learn how important stimulation is for our brains, and also to realize how we need to make sure we are engaging in good, healthy stimulation (like aromatherapy) as opposed to less healthy things like excessive screens. Thus, not only is aromatherapy good for long term memory, but also for immediate effectiveness in our brains!
Hi Madelyn, I completely agree and can't believe that this is such a simple fix that not many know about. Lavender and eucalyptus are two of my favorites, and I have used them ever since I was little. It's incredible just how closely everything in our body is connected, with the pathway of our olfactory system connecting directly to our brain, and how much of an impact smell can have on our memories, cognitive function, etc.
Hi Madelyn, I agree with your response to the article. I can't believe such an acceptable product that we usually walk past and only smell in the store could have such an impact on our brains and help us with not only regaining some of our memory but also our brains. I was rereading the article, and I'm just so blown away by how a product meant to make rooms smell good had such a significant impact on this study.
Hi Madelyn! I agree with what you had to say. You using these oils as well for different things is making me want to buy some not for just the benefit of improved memory, but so much more. My mom will sometimes have a diffuser on and sometimes I don't love the smells, but if it has so many benefits I could easily look past that.
This is fascinating! I’ve always loved using lavender-scented products like lotion and detergent to help me relax, so it’s cool to learn that it could also benefit my memory. I’m definitely going to try using different oils like rosemary and peppermint at night. It’s amazing that something as simple as using essential oils could have such a positive impact on brain health!
Hey E.D., I adore a good lavender scent, especially the ones available at Bath & Bodywork. These include sprays that aid in sleep and relaxation, as well as my personal favorite, Epsom salt. Rosemary also has a pleasant scent, and I enjoy using the sugar scrub. Learning about this has prompted me to devote more time to using essential oils again. I never considered peppermint scent, but I should check it out as well.
Hi E.D! I almost couldn't believe this article! How is it that something so simple can have such great benefits? It's too good to be true! Just like you, I also like the lavender scent. I have a great body scrub I use, and it is so refreshing. I am interested in what you had to say about trying the different oils. If you get around to it, I would love to hear back from you about your experience trying different oils.
This makes total sense to me! I have always found smell to be such a driving sense - certain smells can immediately bring back hundreds of memories in such a unique, tangible way. I care a lot about the way things smell in my environments and am always hyper-aware of what I'm taking in. I have actually utlized that olfactory connection by lighting certain candles when I need to get things done for school, work, or even just around the house - something about that smell will immediately kick me into productivity mode! As far as essential oils go, my family has always made good use of diffusers and different roll-ons for boosting immunity, calming, and healing. It's no surprise that they can help with memory upkeep in aging! I'll be sure to continue utlizing essential oils; and, as someone living with great-grandparents, I'll share this new information so my family can be intentional about diffusing oils for memory!
Hey Emma, my family has also utilized essential oils in the past although it was only with the intent to freshen up a room. That's awesome that you guys already use them and that you'll educate your family about this discovery. I really find your use of candles to be fascinating, I had no idea they could have such a profound impact on productivity. What candles in particular did you use? I might have to try this out myself!
I had no idea essential oils could have such a major impact on your memory. I used to buy essential oils frequently, but I stopped after a while. I admit that my memory has deteriorated with time. I'm delighted you were able to provide me with this crucial information. I will absolutely start buying essential oils with a diffuser again, as well as for my mother and grandmother.
This is really cool, in my opinion, and as someone who sometimes struggles with memory issues, I am always happy to hear about things that can help. Essential oils have a really good smell, too. I love citrus smells when it comes to oils. I will definitely have to give this a try and see if it does anything to help me out with my memory. I also think this is a really nice way for people to be able to provide themselves with some security as they get older and are more susceptible to things like dementia.
It is remarkable how something like essential oils, something that seems so small and insignificant, can have such amazing impacts on our cognitive health. I am fascinated at the results of this study, a 226% increase in memory by the trial group is so powerful! Like you mentioned, this is especially important for aging populations and those facing cognitive decline. I wonder how essential oils can be used in the healthcare setting in the future? I had previously thought of essential oils as something that just made a room smell good when used in a diffuser, but now that I know it's cognitive effects, I am even more inclined to try them out.
I agree; it's amazing that something as simple as using essential oils could drastically help people with memory loss. Many people are afraid of forgetting things, especially those who have been around dementia patients, so it's really great that something as simple and accessible as essential oils can help with the issue of memory.
Wow! This is beneficial information! I am sold; I am buying a diffuser and some oils tonight. Like you, Dr. Hausenblas, it is personal to me, too. My disabilities have a direct correlation to early onset of dementia(TBI and Seizure Disorder). I experience many troubled times in word recall and attentiveness in social settings. Yet I don't feel defined and limited by this but more cognisant of my health and open to ideas to increase the odds of combating any more brain disorders from developing in my life. It makes sense that smell is a direct highway to access memory. Particular smells bring back memories from childhood to when I was a teenager(yeah, that was a long time ago! Haha). Thank you for sharing the helpful analysis and the means necessary to enhance our lives.
This is a very interesting and very accurate. I can personally relate to this post because I have a heightened sense of smell. That may be due to the fact that I love running my diffuser and adding citrus smells or maybe because of how they make me feel or because it unlocks some type of memory. A weird but also cool thing I find in myself is that depending how long or how ofter I am to a person and depending on how concentrated their smell is, I am able to pick up their scent and be able to tell who it is and when they’re around. It is nice to know that there is a science behind the madness and a valid explanation as to why this happens!
Wow, you weren't kidding about those staggering percentages! How cool is it that something as simple as running a diffuser can help with so many different cognitive disabilities? I am amazed by this research, and for it to be so simple, but so beneficial is outstanding. I think the convenience of it all is what makes it so incredible. You don't even have to do a thing besides add water, a scent and let it run. The diffusers these days are pretty to look at as well! This is so exciting because just like you, my grandparents have dementia and to think this small thing that is not only affordable, but proven to help, is just amazing. I hope they are able to do a larger scale research project on this. I would love to see how this benefits people on a large scale.
It is incredible how something as simple as a diffuser can tremendously impact our memory and cognitive function. I think science like this should be more widespread and published more frequently because this is such a small addition in people's lives that could end up helping them so greatly down the road. A 226% jump in memory is an incredible statistic, one that would surprise so many. I've always used a diffuser in my room because it helped me sleep at night, so it's good to know I have been doing something right for all these years. My mom always used one growing up in our rooms too. Now I feel inclined to share this research with her to let her know how she may have saved our lives and helped us fend off cognitive decline, without her knowing.
I hope you are an Amazon affiliate. I decided to try the pack of three listed under the oil for which you shared the URL. I don't have a diffuser. I'm hoping this helps with my memory and my sleep. I hope my husband doesn't whine about it, though. He complains when I rub on my Sleep Envy at night.

I'm actually creating a lecture for my college students on this exact topic. I will also share what I find in a Substack post soon.

I've started to use lavender essential oils again at night. I have my diffuser on my nightstand, so it is easy to use every night.
