What Is Eucalyptus?
Eucalyptus is a fragrant evergreen tree native to Australia, well-known for its long, elegant leaves and invigorating aroma. The essential oils extracted from eucalyptus leaves are packed with therapeutic benefits, making them a favorite in aromatherapy, especially when used in steam—like during your shower. You can use fresh eucalyptus or dried eucalyptus, depending on your preference and availability, both of which bring their own charm to your wellness rituals.
Eucalyptus in Shower Benefits: Why Everyone’s Talking About It
Adding eucalyptus to your shower isn’t just for aesthetics (though it does look beautiful!). Here are some of the biggest reasons why eucalyptus has become a go-to for wellness lovers:
-
Respiratory Support: Steam activates the essential oils in eucalyptus, helping to clear nasal passages and ease breathing. Ideal if you’re battling allergies, colds, or sinus pressure.
-
Stress Relief: The soothing scent helps quiet a racing mind and encourages deeper breathing, promoting relaxation and mental clarity after a long day.
-
Natural Air Cleanser: Thanks to its antibacterial and antiviral properties, eucalyptus can help purify the air in your bathroom—especially great in a humid environment.
-
Mood Booster: Its refreshing aroma delivers a quick energy lift, helping you feel recharged first thing in the morning or after a midday slump.
How to UseEucalyptus in the Shower (Fresh or Dried)
There are two popular methods for incorporating eucalyptus in your shower: hanging fresh eucalyptus leaves or using aromatherapy sprays like Monsuri’sEucalyptus Spray. Here's how to get started:
Hanging Eucalyptus
-
Choose Your Eucalyptus: Fresh eucalyptus for shower use is typically sold at florists or online. Look for vibrant green leaves with a strong scent.
-
Bundle It Up: Tie a handful of eucalyptus stems with twine or a rubber band.
-
Hang It Right: Place it behind your showerhead where it won’t get soaked. Let the steam activate the oils and release the scent.
💡Pro Tip: Fresh eucalyptus will be most fragrant during your first few showers. After that, revive it by gently crushing the leaves or adding drops of eucalyptus oil.
Dried Eucalyptus or DIY Eucalyptus Bundles
Dried eucalyptus is more durable and aesthetically pleasing for long-term use. It won’t be as fragrant as fresh eucalyptus, but you can extend its aroma by adding essential oil drops directly to the leaves.
