Frequently Asked Questions
Allergens & Sensitivity
Halsonus products are made with essential oils, which contain naturally occurring aromatic compounds. While many people find them supportive and pleasant, scent sensitivity is personal—what feels grounding to one person may feel intense to another. If you’re prone to headaches, asthma symptoms, or fragrance sensitivity, we recommend starting with a lower intensity and shorter use sessions, then adjusting based on how your body responds.
If you’re scent-sensitive, essential oil drops can be a great place to begin, since you can control exactly how many drops you use and how long you diffuse. Some people who feel sensitive to “fragrance” are reacting to synthetic fragrance oils found in mass-market products—Halsonus formulas use 100% essential oils only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Trust your system—you’re the expert on your body.
Are Halsonus products safe for daily use? What about pregnancy, kids, and pets?
Yes—when used as directed. Halsonus products are made with 100% essential oils and are thoughtfully formulated to be supportive for regular use. That said, essential oils are highly concentrated aromatic compounds, and individual sensitivity varies. The dose makes a difference, so we always recommend starting gently: use scent at a low intensity, for shorter sessions, with good ventilation—and adjust based on how your body responds.
We care deeply about the health and well-being of all living beings, and we want you to feel informed and confident using these tools in your home. If you are pregnant or nursing, under medical care, or managing a health condition, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use.
If you have children or pets in the home, we encourage informed decision-making rather than one-size-fits-all guidance. Use scent with plenty of distance, avoid direct contact with oils, and never allow ingestion. Always provide a scent-free area so anyone (including animals) can move away if needed.
If you notice signs of sensitivity—such as headache, coughing, irritation, watery eyes, or unusual behavior—discontinue use and increase ventilation. For infants, individuals with asthma or respiratory conditions, and pet households (especially cats and birds), we recommend consulting a pediatrician or veterinarian before use.
How do I use essential oil drops?
Halsonus Brain Wave essential oil blends are intended for diffuser use only. They are made with 100% essential oils and designed to create atmosphere—supporting internal state through scent, rather than functioning as a topical body product.
While essential oils are natural, they are also highly concentrated, and some oils (including citrus and mint) can be irritating or sensitizing on skin—especially without proper dilution. For that reason, we do not recommend applying our blends directly to the body. Instead, we encourage using them through diffusion, where you can control intensity and duration based on your space and sensitivity.
The dose makes a difference: start gently, then adjust as needed. A few drops can go a long way in a small space, while larger rooms may require more.
Do not apply to skin or ingest. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
What ingredients does Halsonus use?
Halsonus products are made with high-quality, functional ingredients: a plant-based wax blend for our candles, and 100% essential oils for fragrance across the collection. Our bath soaks are formulated with mineral-rich salts and skin-supportive ingredients. We do not use paraffin wax, synthetic fragrance oils, or filler ingredients.
What makes Halsonus different from other aromatherapy products?
Halsonus was created by a psychotherapist to be both functional and beautiful—drawing on neuroscience, aromatherapy, and sensory design. Rather than offering scent as “just a vibe,” each formula is intentionally crafted to support a specific internal state, giving you a simple tool to influence how you focus, feel, regulate, and restore. Everything we make is designed to work with your nervous system—not override it.
Do your products replace therapy or medical treatment?
No. Halsonus products are designed to support emotional and cognitive well-being, but they are not a substitute for therapy, medication, or medical care. They are tools for support and enhancement—not replacement.
