Diffusion
Lavender True has the strongest evidence base of any essential oil for sleep support. This guide covers a simple evening diffusion routine.
Step-by-step guide
01
Set up 30 minutes before bed
Start the diffuser 30 minutes before you plan to sleep. This gives the compounds time to reach effective concentration in the room air.
02
Add Lavender True
Add 5 drops of Lavender True to 100ml of water. The linalool content (35.8% in our current batch) is the primary compound associated with relaxation.
03
Add Frankincense Serrata
Add 2 drops of Frankincense Serrata. This deepens the scent profile and adds a grounding quality to the blend.
04
Run on a timer
Set the diffuser to run for 30 to 60 minutes, then off. Running it all night is unnecessary and wastes oil.
Tips
- —Keep the bedroom door closed while diffusing to maintain concentration.
- —Dim the lights and avoid screens while the diffuser runs.
- —Consistency matters more than quantity. A nightly routine builds a stronger association.
Safety Notes
Do not diffuse in a room where pets sleep. Cats in particular are sensitive to essential oils. Keep the room ventilated.
