Sniffing Rosemary Can Increase Memory by 75%
Some people go to great lengths to help themselves remember important tasks or information, whether it’s memory-training drills, memory-enhancing drugs or mountains of calendars and to-do lists. While technology has given us many tools to rely on, most of these don’t actually train your brain to remember better. Instead, it makes it easier to forget, knowing very well that these tools will store information without having to use our brains to do the work.

And yet, there is a better solution, and it starts within your pantry.
