How do I use busy as a worker bee in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 2 · Rosemary 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 sandalwood?

Swap sandalwood for cedarwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When is the best time to use busy as a worker bee?

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.

Busy as a worker bee · Sandalwood, Rosemary blend

Busy as a worker bee, diligent from morning to night.

Three drops are just right for your own corner of the desk. If you need more alertness in the morning, raise rosemary to two drops.
