How do I use sniffles, meet your match in a diffuser?

Add Eucalyptus 4 · Peppermint 3 · Rosemary 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.

Swap eucalyptus for tea tree or clary sage — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: tea tree is green, medicinal and clean.

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.

Sniffles, meet your match · Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Rosemary blend

Every case of the sniffles has to give in to a strong enough blast of cool air. Eucalyptus clearly leads, peppermint spreads that open feeling fast, and rosemary settles at the end with a dry herbal note. Great for the bedroom before sleep or a home office on a rainy afternoon. Run the diffuser for 20 minutes and switch it off; if you sleep in the same room, use 1 drop less peppermint for a softer scent.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) 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.
