sit down, push through

3 oils · Citrus · Minty · Resinous & sweet · code BL-1107


Sit still, push on, and don't get up until it's done. Three drops of peppermint open icy cool, two drops of frankincense lay a warm resin base, and two drops of lime add a sharp green tang. Great for an afternoon when you need to plow through one big task. Keep a glass of water nearby and run the diffuser intermittently so the scent isn't too strong.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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

Safety

Photosensitizing

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

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.


FAQ

How do I use sit down, push through in a diffuser?
Add Peppermint 3 · Frankincense 2 · Lime 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 sit down, push through?
Run it at your desk or study corner in cycles of 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so your nose does not tune the scent out.
