How do I use KPI-proof lemongrass in a diffuser?

Add Lemongrass 3 · Lime 3 · Rosemary 3 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 lemongrass?

Swap lemongrass for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

When is the best time to use KPI-proof lemongrass?

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

KPI-proof lemongrass · Lemongrass, Lime, Rosemary blend

Three oils, five drops each, and nobody backs down. Lemongrass is zingy and fresh, lime is sharp and tangy, and rosemary pulls it all down onto a slightly camphoraceous herbal base. This bold blend suits the office at the end of the quarter, when KPI numbers hang over everyone's heads. The ratio is quite strong, so it's for rooms of 20m² or more; for a small room, halve it to 2 to 3 drops of each.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) 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

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

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

Lemongrass 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.
