There are different application modes:

In diffusion: 4 to 5 drops of essential oil in an electric diffuser, approximately ½ hour (for an adult and a room of 20 m2).

By inhalation: 1 drop in a handkerchief, or the palm of each wrist, you can also inhale the essential oil from the bottle directly.

Dermal: on the skin, a dilution in vegetable oil is expected (25%: 8 drops of vegetable oil for 1 drop of essential oil).

Internally: in a neutral tablet, in a little honey or directly on/under the tongue depending on the essential oil.

For a calm and peaceful environment, choose to spread the essential oil of Palo Santo, orange or tangerine.

In some countries, such as Japan, where work and career success are paramount, companies use diffusers concealed in the walls of entrance hallways. They distribute Palo Santo or Orange essential oil in the morning when employees arrive, to help relax their brains while increasing their level of attention and concentration. At the end of the day, the essential oil diffusion is done again, to finish the workday calmly, reducing the level of cerebral attention of the employee. Avoid thinking too much about your job when you get home.

Palo Santo essential oil has great healing and therapeutic properties… It has a pleasant citrus aroma with a slight mint odor that helps recharge the body’s energies, alleviate flu,

cough, and allergy symptoms, and also reduces levels of stress and fatigue. All these benefits are thanks to the large amount of limonene that this oil has. Limonene is considered a strong antibacterial, antiseptic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory agent, etc.
