  • Low Dilution

    Begin at 0.5–1% dilution for new clients before increasing to therapeutic levels.

  • Rest and Review

    Step away before final evaluation — fresh eyes catch issues you miss during extended work sessions.

    Start with basic techniques and standard practices. Increase complexity only as your skills and confidence develop.

Safety Notes

  • Keep diffusers away from pets and infants without vet or MD guidance.
