How do I use post-lunch desk faceplant in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 2 · Eucalyptus 2 · Cedarwood 2 · Tea Tree 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 post-lunch desk faceplant?

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

Post-lunch desk faceplant · Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Cedarwood blend

Face down on the keyboard right after lunch? Four oils split almost evenly: peppermint and eucalyptus are icy and airy, cedarwood is clean and dry-woody, and tea tree is fresh and sharp. This blend leans a bit toward a forest spa, very alert. Great for a large office at 1 in the afternoon. In a small room, cut each oil to 2 drops; tea tree is quite strong, so you can reduce it to 1.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
