Matcha tea absolutely help my brain fire up again. I bought a diffuser last year and used essential oils for a few weeks. Keep in mind essential oils are not all pure and can be harmful when inhaled. After a few weeks of breathing air with essential oil particles I noticed my memory was not the same. I really thought damage was done from my obsession with my diffuser (orange essence). I have been drinking matcha regularly for 3 weeks and my mind is very clear. I'm remembering names better and just feel sharp like I have in the past. Matcha is full of antioxidants and other powerful properties. It also helps me with constipation.
