A citrus and spice blend that anchors a whole product family. The aroma is bright and clean, and suits the morning.
What it smells like
Aroma notes: bright citrus and spice: grapefruit, lemon, peppermint, ginger, cinnamon.
If you are meeting it for the first time, do not sniff straight into the bottle. Hold it a few centimetres from your nose and waft the aroma towards you — that way the stronger oils will not hit you, and you will pick up the finer notes too.
How people use it
- One drop in water, where the labelling allows it.
- In the diffuser in the morning.
- Diluted on the abdomen.
- One drop in the palm, then a deep breath.
Recipes
The ratios are worked out, and one drop is roughly five hundredths of a millilitre. Where a companion oil is listed, feel free to swap it for whatever you have at home — the drop counts stay the same.
Abdominal massage oil
What you get: 30 ml, lasts weeks.
- Measure fractionated coconut oil into a 30 ml bottle.
- Add 9 drops of MetaPWR — one and a half per cent, deliberately mild.
- After a meal, put some in your palm.
- Massage your abdomen clockwise for five minutes.
The direction is not superstition: it follows the path of the large intestine.
Morning shower drops
What you get: one shower.
- Put 3 drops of MetaPWR in the corner of the shower tray, away from the spray.
- Run the hot water and close the door or pull the curtain across.
- Breathe deeply while you shower.
Do not put it where you will stand: undiluted oil is not good for skin. It is the steam that carries the aroma, not the water.
What to pair it with
These suit the same situations, so they sit well together in a blend:
- Black Pepper — shared topic: Digestive comfort
- Peppermint — shared topic: Energy and vitality
- Lemon — shared topic: Energy and vitality
Safety and storage
Because of the cinnamon, use on skin only diluted. May be phototoxic.
In dark glass, somewhere cool, tightly closed. Heat, light and air all age it: citrus oils keep for roughly one to two years, woods and resins for years. It does not need to go in the fridge, but the bathroom windowsill is the worst place for it.
Questions
How much should I use?
For adults, daily whole-body use usually works out at around two per cent: that is roughly twelve drops in thirty millilitres of carrier oil. For sensitive skin and for children, considerably less. The dilution helper on the home page works out the number of drops for your bottle.
What should I dilute it with?
Fractionated coconut oil is the easiest, because it stays liquid, has no scent of its own and does not go rancid. Sweet almond, jojoba and grapeseed oil are good choices too. Essential oil does not mix with water, so for a bath always disperse it in something fatty or in salt first.
What should I watch out for with this oil?
