How do I use the “cool down, midday heat” blend in a diffuser?

Add Camphor 4 · Eucalyptus 3 · Peppermint 2 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 does the “cool down, midday heat” blend work best?

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

Cool down, midday heat · Camphor, Eucalyptus blend

Blazing midday sun, and stepping inside you just want everything to calm down. Four drops of sharp, cool camphor, three of clear eucalyptus, two of crisp, icy peppermint: a minty trio that freshens the whole room. Clean and light, never heavy on the head. Nine drops in the bedroom diffuser, run on intermittent mode with the air conditioning on; not for rooms with young children, as peppermint and eucalyptus are strong.

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.

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.

Safety

Skin irritant

Camphor can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
