Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between aromatherapy and fragrance?
A: Aromatherapy uses 100% pure essential oils derived from plants with documented therapeutic properties. Fragrance oils are synthetic and do not carry the same benefits. Always use pure essential oils for therapeutic aromatherapy.

Q: How long does a diffuser blend last?
A: A diffuser blend in a 200ml tank lasts 4–6 hours. Run in 30–60 minute intervals for best effect. Personal inhalers last 2–4 weeks.

Q: Can I mix these blends with my existing perfume?
A: It is not recommended. Synthetic perfumes can interact unpredictably with essential oils and may reduce therapeutic efficacy.

Q: Which blend is best for daily use?
A: Recipe 52 (Immunity Shield) for diffuser, Recipe 21 (Study Blend) for focus, and Recipe 11 (Deep Sleep) for bedtime are excellent daily-use blends.

Q: Are these blends safe for pets?
A: Many essential oils are toxic to cats and dogs. If pets are present, use only Lavender and Frankincense at very low concentrations (1–2 drops max) with good ventilation. Avoid Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Citrus, and Rosemary around pets.

Q: How do I store my essential oil blends?
A: Store in dark amber or cobalt glass bottles, away from heat and sunlight. Pre-diluted blends in carrier oil last 3–6 months. Neat essential oils last 1–3 years depending on the oil.
