How do I use feelings buffering in a diffuser?

Add Clary Sage 3 · Lavender 3 · Bergamot 2 · Geranium 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 clary sage?

Swap clary sage for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use feelings buffering?

Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.

Feelings buffering · Clary Sage, Lavender, Bergamot blend

Your emotions are lagging a little, reacting half a beat late. Clary sage and lavender make a soft cushion, like a comfy armchair; bergamot flashes a bit of tangy freshness, and geranium adds rose petals with the leaves still on. Good for afternoons when you need to slow down. Turn on the diffuser, make a warm cup of tea, and sit still for ten minutes doing nothing before you carry on.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
