Azlok's Vertigo Essential Oil Blend is an aromatherapy blend of ginger, melissa and peppermint essential oils designed to feel refreshing and grounding when you diffuse it or apply it (properly diluted). It won't cure medical vertigo, but the crisp, minty-warm aroma can support a calmer, more settled feeling when dizziness or that spinning sensation creeps in.
The blend is a light green to dark green liquid with a thin consistency. It starts at ₹449 and comes in sizes from a handy 100 Gm bottle right up to 20 KG for makers and small businesses.
What is in the blend and why it works
The formula brings together three well-loved oils, each chosen for its aromatic character:
- Peppermint — sharp, cooling and instantly refreshing; the note most people associate with a clear head.
- Ginger — warm and grounding, traditionally linked with settling a queasy, unsteady feeling.
- Melissa (lemon balm) — soft, lemony and calming, rounding off the sharper notes.
Together they create a scent that is both bright and steadying — the idea being to help you feel a little more anchored when your head feels otherwise.
How to use Vertigo Essential Oil Blend
There are a few simple ways to bring this blend into your routine:
- Diffusion: Add 4-6 drops to an electric diffuser or a few drops to an oil burner with water. Sit nearby and breathe slowly for 10-15 minutes.
- Inhalation: Put 1-2 drops on a tissue or cotton pad and inhale gently. This is handy while travelling.
- Topical (diluted): Mix 2-3 drops into a teaspoon (about 5 ml) of a carrier oil such as coconut, almond or jojoba. Massage lightly onto the temples, back of the neck or wrists, keeping well away from the eyes.
- Steam: Add 1-2 drops to a bowl of warm (not boiling) water, drape a towel over your head and breathe for a minute or two.
Always dilute before skin contact
Essential oils are highly concentrated. Never apply this blend neat to the skin. A safe starting point for adults is roughly 2-3% dilution — that is about 2-3 drops per teaspoon of carrier oil.
Safety notes worth reading
Aromatherapy is a gentle support, not a substitute for medical care. Please keep these points in mind:
- Do not ingest. This blend is for external and aromatic use only.
- Patch-test first. Apply a small diluted amount to your inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for irritation.
- Keep away from children and pets, and store out of their reach.
- Peppermint can be strong for young children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and people with certain conditions — check with a doctor before use.
- If dizziness is frequent, severe, or comes with other symptoms, see a qualified medical professional. Vertigo can have real underlying causes that need proper diagnosis.
- Avoid contact with eyes and broken skin.
Buying and storage tips
A little goes a long way, so even the 100 Gm size lasts a good while for home use. Larger packs (500 Gm to 20 KG) suit candle makers, soap makers and small wellness brands who blend in bulk.
- Store in a cool, dark place, tightly capped and away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the bottle upright and avoid extreme heat, which can weaken the aroma.
- The stated shelf life is around 2 years; use your nose as a guide — if the scent turns flat or off, it is past its best.
- Ask Azlok for the COA, MSDS and allergen details if you need them for formulation or compliance.
FAQ
Does Vertigo Essential Oil Blend cure vertigo?
No. It is an aromatherapy blend meant to offer a calming, grounding scent. It does not treat or cure any medical condition. For persistent or severe vertigo, please consult a doctor.
Can I apply it directly to my skin?
Not undiluted. Always mix 2-3 drops into a teaspoon of carrier oil before applying, and do a patch test first.
What does the blend smell like?
Fresh and minty from the peppermint, warm from the ginger, and softly lemony from the melissa — overall crisp and grounding.
Is it safe for children or during pregnancy?
Peppermint-based blends are best avoided for young children and used cautiously during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Check with a healthcare professional first.
How long does one bottle last?
For occasional diffusing and diluted use, even the 100 Gm size lasts several weeks to months, since you only need a few drops at a time.
