How do I use lemon leaf vs the heat wave in a diffuser?

Add Lemon Leaf 3 · Lemongrass 2 · Pomelo 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 lemon leaf?

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

Use it at midday, in hot rooms, or after coming in from outside; you can also mix a room spray for a quick cool-down.

Lemon leaf vs the heat wave · Lemon Leaf, Lemongrass, Pomelo blend

Green and tangy like iced lemon tea; switch it on and cool down.

Green and tangy like a glass of iced lemon tea: lemon leaf makes up the most, lemongrass is fresh and cool, and pomelo peel is gently bittersweet. Switch on the diffuser and the room feels refreshingly cool, even at noon on a 38-degree day. Great for the living room, a west-facing office or the kitchen. Use intermittent mode and add one drop of peppermint if you like it mintier.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon leaf (green, slightly bitter and very fresh); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); pomelo (bittersweet and fragrant, very Vietnamese) 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

Skin irritant

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.
