How do I use the whole house is sniffling in a diffuser?

Add Lemon 2 · Peppermint 2 · Eucalyptus 2 · Lime 1 · Rosemary 1 · Tea Tree 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?

Swap lemon for sweet orange or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.

When is the best time to use the whole house is sniffling?

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.

The whole house is sniffling · Lemon, Peppermint, Eucalyptus blend

When everyone at home is sneezing, the house needs one shared scent: two drops each of lemon, peppermint and eucalyptus for a cool freshness, plus one drop each of lime, rosemary and tea tree for extra clean and green. Great for the living room on family TV nights. Use nine drops in a diffuser for a large room; don't run it in a nursery with kids under 6, and air the room out regularly.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) 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.
