Hey girls! :) Hope you’re all having an awesome Sunday.
I wanted to take a moment to share an interesting study tip
with you. Since everyone is back to school, a lot of study action is going on as
we prepare for tests. We’re all trying to cram in tons of information and
sometimes it’s hard to remember it all.
You may not believe the study tip that I’m about to share
with you. It’s pretty, well, wow! Drum roll please…
Lemon essential oil can amp up your test scores! That’s
right. This essential oil is known to increase your memory and cognitive
function. It’s also been proven to help with focus and concentration when
studying. If you study while smelling lemon scent, you’ll most likely do better
on those upcoming tests. Awesome, huh?!
Want to know the science behind this cool study trick? Researchers
have found that memory power doubles when a past event is associated with a
scent. I’m sure you’ve smelled a scent before that has brought back memories. Like
when you smell pumpkin pie baking in the oven, you may be reminded of fall and
past holidays.
Ready to try out this study trick? Here’s what you need to do:
- Smell lemon essential oil while you study for a test or during a class.
- Then, when you need to remember that information, smell that same lemon fragrance.
- Lemon essential oil is very strong and can cause burns if applied directly to skin undiluted. Eek, not good! :( So, I’d recommend adding a few drops of lemon oil to a spray bottle (filled with a little water) and shake it up. Then, spray a little bit of the diluted lemon oil on your sleeve or somewhere where you can easily smell it while in class or during a test.
- Another option, is simply putting a few drops of the essential oil on a tissue. Then, bring the tissue with and take a few whiffs during class.
- When you’re studying at home, try this out: Place a drop or two on a small unscented tea candle. Light the candle and let the lemon aroma burn into the air. Just be careful to keep your books and papers away from the flame!
If you’re interested in making lemon essential oil your new study buddy, you can find a bottle on Amazon for $6.43. Check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/Lemon-Essential-Undiluted-Therapeutic-Grade/dp/B005V4ZRNA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1379891400&sr=8-2&keywords=lemon+essential+oil
