Update: We’ve been spending the bulk of September moving into our new house, leaving me with very little time to dedicate to posts! After a little break, I’m excited to get back on the blog.
Recently, Hubby and I have been suffering some serious congestion and, as a result of moving stresses, exhaustion as well. I was inspired to buy a bouquet of eucalyptus for our bathroom because I’d read that it’s good for a host of ailments which I’ve listed below:
Health Benefits of Eucalyptus
- Wounds
- Respiratory problems
- Mental exhaustion
- Muscle pain
- Dental care
- Lice
- Intestinal germs
- Skin care
- Diabetes
- Fever
- Room freshener
- Soaps
- Tuberculosis & pneumonia
- Mouth wash
- Sauna
Despite Hubby saying the bathroom smelled like a craft store when he walked in (I laughed because it’s so true!!), I could immediately tell a difference in the spirit of the room. It looks so pretty and smells so fresh. The reason I placed it in the bathroom is because humid environments cause the plant to release its beneficial oils. I even bring the whole vase in the shower with me to give it an extra boost! You can read more about the benefits of eucalyptus here.
You can pick up your own bouquet of eucalyptus at your local grocery store in the floral section. I only paid about $5 and have enjoyed the mental and physical clarity it brings me every time I walk into my bathroom!
I actually have some eucalyptus in my storage closet. Think I’ll pull it out and give this a try.
