The Benefits of Eucalyptus Oil in a Shower Spray

Essential oils can help us gear up to maximize the day or wind down for a head start on tomorrow. A eucalyptus spray from natural eucalyptus oil should be part of an optimal shower aromatherapy routine to relax, revive and invigorate.

Eucalyptus Oil Benefits

Eucalyptus is a fragrant plant in the myrtle family and its leaves secrete a powerful oil.

Natural eucalyptus oil is a known decongestant, antiseptic and deodorizer. In quite small doses, it is edible (though we don’t recommend you try this without physician approval). Cough drops and toothpastes frequently use eucalyptus oil for its exceptional cleaning and freshening benefits.

Eucalyptus does more than tackle household cleaning and discomforts of the common cold. Its aroma has calming, soothing properties without the toxic chemicals found in most store brand candles and air fresheners. These chemicals can irritate nasal passages and even the nervous system. However, pure eucalyptus oil provides a chemical-free aroma. Its powerful fragrance requires very little use and therefore one bottle lasts months if diluted.

Several methods can release enjoyable doses of the distinct eucalyptus scent into the air. A shower mist spray is one of the easiest.

Shower Aromatherapy Benefits

Most people can count on little "me time" beyond the shower. It is often one of the only places to press pause on family and work obligations. This daily reset can go even further and transform into a spa or wellness treatment. Pure eucalyptus oil or other essential oils like grapefruit and lavender can do the trick when included in all-natural scrubs, body washes and sprays.

Such products deliver immediate positive aromatherapy effects. The organic molecules these oils release combine with hot steam and opened pores to penetrate on deeper cellular levels. Their aromas linger to freshen the area. They might even linger for next person who enters the bathroom. A great benefit is shower aromatherapy coincides with routine bathing. So it requires a little effort to remember to do, but absolutely no extra time.

Use the Right Eucalyptus Spray in the Right Way

Eucalyptus is potent and requires careful use. 100% natural eucalyptus oil with no fillers may be used sparingly alone, always with a small patch test for tolerance beforehand. However, for diffusers or products applied to the body, they are best diffused into carrier oils.

It only takes seconds to upgrade a normal hot shower to an invigorating shower with a eucalyptus fragranced steam. Eucalyptus sprays such as Travertine Spa Collection's Eucalyptus Steam Shower Spray are safe for everyday use. Travertine Spa products are made of pure eucalyptus oil and all-natural. To use, point the spray bottles downward, away from face and spray into a steaming shower. As the mist rises your shower transforms from the ordinary to the extraordinary. A few sprays should be all it takes, but more can be used for particularly indulgent showers.

Discover the joy of eucalyptus oil as more than medicine or a winter cold necessity. A eucalyptus shower mist brings the relaxing spa experience home and aromatherapy benefits to everyone, in every season, at any time.
