Rosemary for memory
I grew up in the New England countryside, which was settled in the 1600s. If you are a colonial history buff you know that the colonial departed were buried with rosemary. Rosemary was used not as a preservative, which it is because of the antioxidants in rosemary, but rather for remembrance. Even in Puritan New England in the 1600s, which was wary of anything that even hinted of pseudo science or witchery, they knew the herb rosemary was connected to memory.
Even the scent of rosemary stimulates memory; it stimulates the limbic area of your brain.
