This weekend I picked up beautiful peony blooms and fresh eucalyptus from Trader Joes. I always love their selection of florals and I already knew I wanted to hang the stems in our master bath. Not only is it an instant mood lifter for me, it also hosts many wonderful benefits that we should all take advantage of.
Your eucalyptus bath bouquet can last up to a good 3 months depending on how often the leaves are being moisturized. As a frequent sinus sufferer myself, having this in the shower has worked miracles for my congestion and allergy symptoms. The warm steam from your shower releases the oils that open up your nasal passages and make it easier for you to breathe.
I do love this natural approach that I can definitely get used to since I have used so many other brand name rubs and tablets and the ingredients are just a little too much for me. I do tend to reach for more natural products that make me feel more confident using especially when I am using them on or around the kids.
Fun Fact: Eucalyptus and Lavender are my two favorite essential oils to use together. I usually diffuse them throughout the house when I do my yoga practice. You can check the same ones I use here – Eucalyptus Essential Oil and Lavender Essential Oil.
🌿 It’s also my stress relief in the most beautiful way. It love how it creates a quick spa like atmosphere right in your own shower 🚿 A feeling of calm and relaxation as it promotes a soothing mood that washes over you. Add in some candles and maybe play some meditating melodies and you’ve got yourself a mini spa at home!
Other plants you can use with your Eucalyptus:
- Lavender
- Rosemary
- Mint
- Lemongrass
🌿 Check out below some lovely eucalyptus stems and one even has lavender intertwined within too! I want to do this on my next bath bouquet!
