How do I use five-minute mind unclog in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 4 · Ylang Ylang 2 · Pine 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 peppermint?

Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.

When is the best time to use five-minute mind unclog?

Best in the morning, early afternoon, or right after a nap; avoid using it close to bedtime.

Five-minute mind unclog · Peppermint, Ylang Ylang, Pine blend

Name: five-minute mind unclog
Yield: 8 drops
Ingredients: 4 drops Peppermint essential oil; 2 drops Ylang Ylang essential oil; 2 drops Pine essential oil

Five minutes is all it takes to clear your head. Four drops of peppermint rush in first, icy and decisive; pine holds a dry forest base, and ylang-ylang adds a little floral sweetness so it doesn't feel stiff and dry. Great for moments when you're stuck for ideas in the middle of work. Run the diffuser on high for exactly 5 minutes and then switch it off; the scent that lingers is just enough of a lift.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); pine (green and resinous, like a forest walk) 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.
