How do I use 3am stuffy nose in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 2 · Eucalyptus Radiata 2 · Lemon 2 · Cedarwood 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of lavender?

Swap lavender for geranium or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.

When is the best time to use 3am stuffy nose?

Use it in closed rooms, on humid days, in monsoon season or after long hours of air conditioning — diffuse in short 20–30 minute runs.

3am stuffy nose · Lavender, Eucalyptus Radiata, Lemon blend

Waking up at 3 a.m. because breathing feels tight, nobody wants anything harsh. Lavender and eucalyptus radiata open soft and airy, lemon clears the air a little more, and one drop of cedarwood settles into a warm wood base to help sleep find its way back. Keep the diffuser ready by the bed on a low setting. If you share the room with a small child, keep the diffuser at least two meters away.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus radiata (gently cool, softer than classic eucalyptus); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
