Thai hotpot with friends

3 oils · Citrus · Herbal · Warm spice · code BL-1583


A pot of Thai hotpot bubbling away in the middle of your group of friends. Two drops of lemongrass are zingy and fresh, while basil and coriander, one drop each, bring spicy-sweet leaves and warm, sweet seeds. The scent is spicy-fragrant and very cheerful, great for the kitchen or dining room. For a large room, double everything; switch it on after the meal so the lemongrass gradually replaces the hotpot smell.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise); coriander (warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice) form the body of the scent and stay 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.


Method

Diffuser
Lemongrass 2 · Basil 1 · Coriander 1 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

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 Thai hotpot with friends in a diffuser?
Add Lemongrass 2 · Basil 1 · Coriander 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 lemongrass?
Swap lemongrass 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 Thai hotpot with friends?
Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.
