How do I use neck and shoulders SOS in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 3 · Frankincense 2 · Lavender 2 · Roman Chamomile 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 neck and shoulders SOS?

Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.

Neck and shoulders SOS · Peppermint, Frankincense, Lavender blend

Your neck and shoulders are crying for help after a week hunched over a screen. Six drops of peppermint open with a refreshing minty coolness, while frankincense, lavender and Roman chamomile split three drops each, lining it with warm resin, purple flowers and sweet apple to smooth it out. Good for your workspace at break time. Switch it on, stand up and roll your shoulders a few times; in a small room, cut peppermint to four drops.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
