How to Use

Diffuser

For diffusion, use 3-5 drops in a small room, 5-8 drops in a medium room, and 8-12 drops in a large space. Optimal duration for diffusion is 30-60 minutes per session, 2-3 times daily. Best diffused in the morning or during work hours to enhance focus.

Topical

For topical application, adults should use a dilution of 2-3% (6-12 drops per ounce of carrier oil). For children, opt for a dilution of 0.5-1% (1-3 drops per 1 oz carrier oil). The elderly may use a 1-2% dilution. Recommended carrier oils include jojoba, sweet almond, and fractionated coconut oil. Apply to desired areas using gentle massage techniques, allowing adequate time for absorption.

Inhalation

For direct inhalation, place 1-2 drops on a tissue and inhale deeply, or place a drop on your palms and cup them over your nose. For steam inhalation, add 2-3 drops of oil to a bowl of hot water, cover with a towel, and inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes. Personal inhalers can also be prepared using cotton and the essential oil.

Conduct a patch test before first use to check for allergic reactions. Cilantro may cause photosensitivity; avoid sun exposure for 12 hours after topical application. Pregnant or nursing women should consult a healthcare provider. Store in a cool, dark place, and ensure the lid is tightly closed to maintain freshness. Shelf life is generally around 2-3 years.

Who Should Avoid
