How do I use grandma's balm, upgraded in a diffuser?

Add Eucalyptus 4 · Rosemary 3 · Cajeput 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 eucalyptus?

Swap eucalyptus for tea tree or clary sage — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: tea tree is green, medicinal and clean.

When is the best time to use grandma's balm, upgraded?

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.

Grandma's balm, upgraded · Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Cajeput blend

Four drops of eucalyptus, three of rosemary, two of cajeput: the familiar cool, punchy smell of grandma's little bottle of medicated oil, only cleaner and more modern. Great for evenings when you feel worn out and want an airy, comfy room. Use nine drops in a diffuser; you can also dilute it in a carrier oil and gently rub it on your shoulders and neck, away from the eyes.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); cajeput (cool yet warm, and very familiar) 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.
