Start with fewer drops (2-3 total) and increase if you want a stronger scent Always dilute essential oils in water – never pour pure oil directly into the tank Rotate blends weekly to prevent olfactory fatigue (your nose getting used to the same scent) For bedroom use, run the diffuser 30-60 minutes before sleep, then let it auto-shut-off 

The right essential oil blend can transform not just the smell of your room, but how you feel in it. Keep this list handy, experiment with what works for you, and enjoy the journey of aromatherapy.
