Has anyone used rosemary oil for anxiety?

Reading many articles on rosemary and rosemary oil and its benefits.
If anyone has used, has it helped.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

I used to believe "aromatherapy" was New Age hocus-pocus. I later found that certain fragrances (baking bread or cake, coffee, nag champa, patchouli) have a calming effect.
Maybe why they use incense in meditation.
I read that the olfactories are very close to the brain, so smells can trigger memories and moods. Baking smells take me back to Grandma's warm kitchen😊. Pine and peppermint smells make it Christmas🎄.
For Proust, a madeleine dipped in tea gave him a rush of chilhood memories.
In Search of Lost Time.
Hope you find yours.
