How do I use flu season, not today in a diffuser?

Add Tea Tree 3 · Bergamot 2 · Rosemary 2 · Thyme 1 · Clary Sage 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 tea tree?

Swap tea tree for eucalyptus or basil — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: eucalyptus is strong, cool and wide open.

When is the best time to use flu season, not today?

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.

Flu season, not today · Tea Tree, Bergamot, Rosemary blend

Even if flu season walks past, it should find your home smelling clean and bright. Tea tree leads with a sharp green note, bergamot adds a flash of citrus, rosemary and thyme hold the herbal line, and clary sage closes soft and slightly sweet like dry hay. Great for the living room, the entryway or a shared workspace. Running it for about 30 minutes in the morning with the windows open is ideal.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice); clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Thyme 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.
