How to Use Crown Blend Oil

Crown Blend is a traditional Thai herbal oil, richer and more versatile than an inhaler. You can breathe it, apply it, and use it across a wider range of everyday moments. Here is a complete guide to getting the most out of every drop.

If you want to understand where this tradition comes from first, start with our guide to what yadom is and its history.

Ways to Use Crown Blend Oil

Crown Blend works in several different ways. Use whichever method fits the moment.

Aromatic Inhalation

Hold the open bottle a short distance below your nose and take one to three slow, gentle breaths. This is the most direct way to experience the full aromatic profile of the blend.

On a Tissue or Cloth

Place one to two drops on a tissue or cloth and inhale the scent from it. This method lets the aroma disperse slightly, which some people prefer for a softer, more ambient experience.

On the Nostrils

Dab a very small amount on the outside of your nostrils, just beneath them, and breathe normally. The warmth of your skin carries the scent steadily for an extended aromatic effect.

For Sore Muscles or Joints

Apply two to three drops to the area and massage gently until absorbed. The warming botanicals in the blend make it a natural choice for tired muscles after training or a long day.

For Headaches

Apply one to two drops to your temples, your forehead, or the back of your neck and massage gently. Keep the oil away from your eyes.

For Insect Bites

Apply a small drop directly to the bite and rub it in gently.

After Each Use

Wash your hands after application unless your hands were the area being treated. Close the cap tightly after every use and store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Important Warnings

For external use only. Do not swallow. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, broken skin, and the inside of the nose. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Pair It With Your Inhaler

Crown Blend and your Smiling Tiger herbal inhaler are designed to work together. The inhaler is your portable, instant aromatic reset. Crown Blend is the richer, more hands-on complement for moments that call for something deeper. Learn how to use your Thai herbal inhaler for the complete picture.
