Glow tip ✦ Breathe in slowly from your wrists — three long breaths.
Storage ✦ Keeps 3 months in a tin, away from heat.
Allergy check ✦ Lavender oil must be diluted exactly — 3 drops per tablespoon of butter; skip while pregnant unless doctor-approved.
Safety ✦ Patch-test on your inner wrist first. For external cosmetic use only — not medical advice.
