How do I use sick day, couch mode in a diffuser?

Add Lemon Eucalyptus 3 · Lavender 2 · Peppermint 1 · Rosemary 1 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 eucalyptus?

Swap lemon eucalyptus 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 sick day, couch mode?

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.

Sick day, couch mode · Lemon Eucalyptus, Lavender, Peppermint blend

Six drops of lemon eucalyptus bring a cool, lemony edge, four drops of lavender soften things, and two drops each of peppermint and rosemary open up the air. For days you call in sick, sprawl out and just want the room to smell clean and comfy. Fourteen drops is a lot, so use half in a small room; skip it in rooms with children under 6.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

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.
