How to Use
For a small room, use 3-5 drops; for a medium room, 5-8 drops; and for a large room, 8-12 drops. Diffuse for 30-60 minutes at a time, 2-3 times daily, ideally in the morning or early afternoon to enhance focus and alertness.
For adults, dilute at 2-3% (12-18 drops per oz of carrier oil), for children at 0.5-1% (2-4 drops), and for older adults at 1-2% (6-12 drops). Use carrier oils like jojoba or sweet almond and apply to areas needing relief with gentle massage, allowing time for absorption.
Direct inhalation: Place 1-2 drops on a tissue or inhale directly from the bottle. Steam inhalation: Add 2-3 drops to a bowl of hot water, cover with a towel, and inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes. Can also use a personal inhaler for on-the-go benefits.
