How to Use

Diffuser

For diffusion, use 3-5 drops for a small room, 5-8 for a medium room, and 8-12 for a large room. Optimal diffusion duration is 30-60 minutes, 2-3 times daily. The best times to diffuse are during relaxation practices, yoga sessions, or before bedtime for soothing effects.

Topical

Adult dilution: 2-3% (12-18 drops per ounce of carrier oil). Children: 0.5-1% (2-5 drops per ounce of carrier oil). Elderly: 1-2% (6-12 drops per ounce of carrier oil). Recommended carrier oils include jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut. Apply to pulse points or affected areas, using gentle massage techniques to enhance absorption, which may take 15-30 minutes.

Inhalation

For direct inhalation, place 1-2 drops on a tissue and breathe deeply, or cup hands over the nose and inhale. For steam inhalation, add 2-3 drops to a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes. Use a personal inhaler for on-the-go benefits.
