Why mint feels so fresh
Peppermint and menthol create a cooling sensation on skin and a crisp, clean aroma. Many people use that sharp, fresh feeling as a cue — a small signal to pause and start again.
The 30-second reset
1. Roll once on each temple. 2. Once on the back of the neck. 3. Close your eyes and take three slow breaths. Then back to work. Avoid eyes, lips and broken skin.
Mint vs other scents
Mint WIND is the coolest of shnort's four scents. Prefer something warmer? Orange FIRE is bright and uplifting, Citrus SUN zesty, Lemongrass EARTH grounded. Compare the four.
Make it a habit
Keep the roller where you work — next to the keyboard, in your laptop bag. More rituals in how to use a herbal inhaler and the essential oil inhaler guide.
