Rosemary is my go-to herb for focus, concentration, and clear-headedness. There are others, like skullcap and damiana that can improve focus in a ritual setting, but they also tend to have consciousness-altering effects- which is okay in ritual, but maybe not in everyday life. Herbs containing caffeine and nicotine are also used to improve focus and concentration, but these are addictive and you have to be careful not to overdo them as they can put a strain on your circulatory system. Rosemary does not make you sleepy or give you a caffeine buzz or contain anything addictive so can be used in mundane settings as well as ritual settings. I like to dab a bit of intentionally-created rosemary-based fragrance oil on my pulse points before beginning a project that requires focus and concentration, like sketching out plans and doing material and cost estimates, doing research, and back in the day, studying for or taking a test. Drinking a tea also works and I find it especially useful for "brain fog" and is lovely for head colds too. In a ritual setting, it makes a lovely incense. If you take too much, it will make you nauseated. It causes acid reflux in me if I overdo it, but everything is bad if you take too much. The essential oil should be diluted in alcohol or a carrier oil and should never be taken internally. The tea should only be made of the whole herb, dried or fresh.
