Bath

Add a few drops to your diffuser, blend with a carrier oil for a massage, or drizzle into your bath for a moment of zen. Just don’t chug the bottle, even if your job has pushed you to the brink. Remember, aromatherapy isn’t an excuse for “aromadrinking”.

Yes, indeed. No bunnies were guilt-tripped, and no bees were bribed into testing our products. Even your most militant vegan friend won’t have a reason to side-eye you. Unless, of course, you double-dip in the hummus—then it’s on you.

Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from your roommate who thinks they double as flavour enhancers. A cool, dark spot works best—unlike your skincare products, which you keep forgetting in your car cupholder.

Some oils are totally fine, others are more divisive than pineapple on pizza. Always consult a healthcare professional who won’t roll their eyes when you say “essential oils.” And remember, “natural” doesn’t always mean “pregnancy-friendly.”

If by “work” you mean they smell divine and make you momentarily forget the state of the world, then yes! They won’t solve inflation or make your internet faster, but they might help you cope with your inbox. Temporarily, anyway.

Only if that dimension is your mind, and even then, you’ll probably just rediscover the corner where all your unfulfilled goals live. Otherwise, they’ll just make your space smell good enough to convince you that life is manageable.

Sure, but good luck convincing your dragon that it needs a self-care day. Dragons are as stubborn as your friend who refuses to turn on “read receipts.” Use lavender if you want to live dangerously; just be prepared to run if it starts sneezing fire.
