How to Use

Diffuser

For small rooms, add 3-5 drops; for medium rooms, 5-8 drops; for large rooms, 8-12 drops. Allow the diffuser to run for 30-60 minutes per session, multiple times a day depending on need. Best times to diffuse include morning for energy and afternoon for relaxation, particularly when feeling overwhelmed.

Topical

For adults, dilute saffron essential oil to 2-3% in carrier oils like jojoba or sweet almond for safe use. For children, use a dilution of 0.5-1%, and for the elderly, a dilution of 1-2%. Apply topically to required areas with gentle massage, allowing for complete absorption, usually 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 hot water and inhale for 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, use a personal inhaler for on-the-go use.
