How do I use anti head-nodding in a diffuser?

Add Cedarwood 3 · Eucalyptus 2 · Peppermint 1 · Sweet Orange 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 cedarwood?

Swap cedarwood for sandalwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: sandalwood is creamy, smooth and long-lasting.

When is the best time to use anti head-nodding?

Run it at your desk or study corner in cycles of 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so your nose does not tune the scent out.

Anti head-nodding · Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, Peppermint blend

No nodding off, however monotone the lecture gets. Three drops of cedarwood lay a dry wood base, two drops of eucalyptus open cool and airy, and peppermint and sweet orange, one drop each, add a cold streak and fresh sweetness. Great for online classes or long meetings after lunch. To feel even more alert, raise peppermint to two drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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