How to Use

Diffuser

For small rooms, use 3-5 drops; for medium rooms, 5-8 drops; for large rooms, 8-12 drops. Set the diffuser for 30-60 minutes per session, 2-3 times daily, ideally in the morning for an energizing effect.

Topical

Adult dilution should be 2-3% (12-18 drops of essential oil in 1 ounce of carrier oil) and children should use a dilution of 0.5-1% (3-6 drops in 1 ounce). Safe carrier oils include jojoba, coconut, or sweet almond oil. Apply to areas of concern and use light massage techniques to enhance absorption, allowing time for the skin to absorb the oil (approximately 10-15 minutes).

Inhalation

For direct inhalation, place 1-2 drops on a tissue or cotton ball and inhale deeply. For steam inhalation, add 2-3 drops to hot water and inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes. Personal inhalers can also be prepared with Niaouli for on-the-go use.

Safety Guidelines

Conduct a patch test prior to topical application to check for sensitivity. Use caution during pregnancy and nursing, and consult with a healthcare provider if on medication. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain potency, and ensure bottle is tightly capped. Shelf life is generally 1-2 years.
