How to Use

Diffuser

For diffusing, add 3-5 drops for small rooms (up to 100 sq ft), 5-8 drops for medium rooms (100-200 sq ft), and 8-12 drops for large spaces (200+ sq ft). Optimal duration is 30-60 minutes per session, and it can be used 2-3 times daily, particularly in the morning for a refreshing start or in the evening to unwind.

Topical

For adults, use a dilution of 2-3% (10-15 drops per 30ml of carrier oil). For children aged 2-12, use 0.5-1% (2-6 drops per 30ml). For the elderly, dilute to 1-2% (5-10 drops per 30ml). Ideal carrier oils include jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut. Apply to pulse points or areas of concern with gentle massage.

Inhalation

For direct inhalation, place 1-2 drops on a tissue and inhale as needed. For steam inhalation, add 2-3 drops to a bowl of hot water, cover your head with a towel, and inhale for 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, use a personal inhaler by adding 5-10 drops.
