Element Essential Oil Blend: Water (20ml)

Inspired by the Water element in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the homework Water Essential Oil Blend represents wisdom, stillness, and the ability to find flow. In TCM, Water is the element of Winter and is governed by the Kidneys and Urinary Bladder. It is our "Jing" (essential energy) and our deepest reservoir of strength. This serene fragrance invites a necessary pause to collect one's thoughts and adapt to the world’s changing rhythms, offering a quiet sanctuary for the spirit.

The Ritual: Best used during journaling, meditation, or a mindful evening bath. Water energy is particularly supportive when feeling fear or adrenal exhaustion, helping to restore the spirit and invite deep, restorative introspection and flow.

homework is a sensory studio rooted in balance — where design, nature, and heritage come together to create harmony in everyday rituals. Inspired by the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, homework’s products are crafted to support well-being through scent, seasonality, and a deep respect for the natural world.

Drawing on elements like water, fire, wood, and earth, homework creates products in alignment with nature’s rhythms, using responsibly sourced ingredients and small-batch production methods.

For Diffusers & Burners: Add 5–10 drops to the water of your ultrasonic diffuser or oil burner. Allow the botanical actives to fill the room, focusing on a sense of yielding and stillness to fully inhabit the ritual.

For a Mindful Bath: Combine 5 drops with a tablespoon of carrier oil (such as Sweet Almond or Jojoba) before adding to a warm bath. This ensures the oils are safely dispersed, allowing the steam to soothe the nervous system for a deep restorative experience.

For Seasonal Refresh: Place 2–3 drops on a ceramic stone or a cotton cloth and place near your workspace or bedside to gently invite a sense of calm and flow into your environment throughout the day.
