How do I use chest rub before bed in a diffuser?

Add Camphor 3 · Eucalyptus 3 · Lavender 1 · Peppermint 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 camphor?

Swap camphor for rosemary or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use chest rub before bed?

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.

Chest rub before bed · Camphor, Eucalyptus, Lavender blend

A ready-mix batch for the bedtime chest-rub routine. Camphor and eucalyptus stand side by side with a cool, slightly spicy rush, lavender softens it, and peppermint adds an icy accent. Always dilute with a carrier oil before applying to skin, and patch test on a small area first. You can also use 5 drops in a bedroom diffuser.

How it unfolds

On opening. Camphor (icy, strong and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); peppermint (cool, sharp 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. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
