As a spa owner, you are probably bought in on the benefits of steam rooms and saunas like healthier and more radiant skin, improved circulation, relaxation, reduced nerve tension, and more. Why else would you have one, right?
With summer just around the corner, so is the heat, seasonal allergies, and all kinds of activities that have you on the go (sometimes more than when the kids are in school!). There’s no better time to start diffusing eucalyptus in your steam room and sauna to help make your clients’ summer a little bit better.
Here are are a few of the reasons why your spa should diffuse eucalyptus this summer:
It is refreshing and energizing Summer should be a time of relaxation, right? In theory. In reality, it sometimes seems like we’re making more plans and committing ourselves to more activities instead of taking time to relax. Instead of looking to a shot of espresso for some energy or succumbing to their tiredness and taking a nap, your clients can get a boost by inhaling the benefits of eucalyptus in your steam room or sauna as their afternoon pick-me-up.
It helps with seasonal allergy symptoms If your clients are feeling sneezy, sniffly, or congested from seasonal allergies, eucalyptus can help with that! Just a few minutes in your steam room or sauna, while eucalyptus is diffusing, can help them breathe easier and feel some relief more quickly.
It can be used for scent marketing We outlined this in another blog post, but scent marketing can be a game-changer for your business. Scent marketing targets the consumer’s sense of smell in order to improve customer experience, increase sales, develop brand awareness, and nurture brand loyalty and connection. Why not make that happen with a powerful and natural scent like eucalyptus?
It can help keep your spa clean Beyond just making it smell fantastic, eucalyptus has proven health benefits in wet and humid areas: steam-borne eucalyptus oil wipes out bacteria and microbes before they can get a foothold in a steam room. Mold and mildew become a non-existent worry with a steady diffusion of eucalyptus oil.
If you are ready to utilize the benefits of eucalyptus in your spa, our Mystifier Automatic Injection system will help immensely. This device was developed in response to numerous requests from our customers seeking to eliminate hand spraying. Learn more here.
After you’ve hit the gym and gotten in a really good workout, you probably feel great. Like you’re on top of the world. The endorphins are flowing and you feel energized. But there’s a small thought in the back of your head – this is going to hurt in the morning. You get out your foam roller and go to town, but it only does so much. You still feel sore the next morning.
Instead of always needing to default to over-the-counter pain medications, why not try some natural pain relief? Essential oils and other natural products are a great way to help ease muscle soreness and stiffness. Here are a few of our favorites and how to use them:
Menthol Crystals These are a game-changer when it comes to muscle pain and soreness, and because their properties are so concentrated, you don’t need much product to make a difference. Here is a simple recipe to make an all-natural muscle salve that you can rub into any sore muscle for pain relief:
Measure out the coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax and melt them on low heat.
Remove from heat, and stir in the menthol crystals until they’re dissolved. Be sure to keep your face away from the mixture so you don’t irritate your eyes or nose.
Once the crystals are dissolved, mix in the almond oil, followed by the essential oils.
Pour the mixture into a container that has a tight lid, but allow the mixture to cool before putting the lid on.
Store in your refrigerator to maintain texture and shelf life.
Lavender Oil Lavender is known and loved for its calming and relaxing properties and it can do the same for your muscles as it does your mind. One effective way of using lavender specifically for sore muscles is to add the essential oil to a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil and use it as a massage oil. Working the oil deep into your muscles allows those effects to really get where it’s most needed.
Peppermint Oil Peppermint contains menthol, which brings a much-needed cooling effect when you’re sore. It’s also anti-inflammatory. If you have access to a steam room, bring our Mint-Infused Pure Eucalyptus ShowerMist along with you to get both the benefits of Peppermint and the steam room (read this blog post to read more about the benefits of steam rooms). Simply spritz a few sprays of the ShowerMist away from your face and breathe in and feel the benefits.

Our ShowerMists are a fan favorite for relaxing, invigorating showers and baths. After all, nothing beats hot steam and aromatherapy! But that’s not all they can be used for. In fact, today we’re sharing five more ideas to help you make the most of your bottle, all around your home.
Grab your ShowerMist and get to spritzing in the kitchen, bedroom, mudroom, and more!
Deodorize Sneakers in the Mudroom
At the end of a long school day, give those tired feet a rest! Have your kids kick off their shoes, then spritz a few pumps of Tea Tree-Infused Eucalyptus ShowerMist into the soles to kill any lingering sweat and bacteria that was picked up on the playground. Let the shoes air out overnight before wearing again in the morning.
Freshen Up Your Kitchen
No one likes a stinky kitchen! A few quick sprays of our Citrus-Infused Eucalyptus ShowerMist can help keep trash can and garbage disposal odors at bay. Simply spritz a little down the drain or in the bin before you place a new trash bag inside. Want another boost of freshness? Peel any overripe, mushy citrus fruits you have laying around, toss a few small pieces into the disposal, and grind up while running some water.
Get a Great Night’s Sleep
Do racing thoughts have you struggling to fall asleep? Hold our Lavender-Infused Eucalyptus ShowerMist a few feet away from your bed and lightly spritz your pillows and sheets for a soothing scent that’ll help you wind down. The natural sedative properties of Lavender will have you counting sheep in no time! Bonus: it works for kids too!
Increase Focus in the Study Nook
Did you know that the zing of peppermint isn’t just a great way to freshen your breath, but can help you wake up, too? Spray some Mint-Infused Eucalyptus ShowerMist around the table while studying, reading, or working on the computer to encourage focus and feelings of alertness. If you’re also looking to ease stress, anxiety, and nervousness while you’re studying, try using our Menthol Crystals and Warmer. Keep working hard and ace that test!
Keep the Laundry Room Free of Mildew
Prevent mildew or musty smells by spritzing your dirty laundry hampers with your favorite ShowerMist. You can also spray a little on towels between uses for a clean, refreshing scent. This also works great for keeping road trip laundry bags fresh or when you’ll be drying a lot of towels and bathing suits in your hotel room.
Do you own one of our ShowerMists?
Which scent is your favorite and how do you like to use it?
The new year is such a wonderful new beginning, but sometimes the dark days of winter can put a damper on that fresh start. One of our favorite ways to boost our mood is using essential oils. Many times it’s the physical benefits that get the most talk when it comes to essential oils, but the mental benefits are just as amazing!
Here are a few of the best essential oils you can use to enhance your mood:
Lavender
Lavender is easily one of the most popular essential oils because it is both useful and versatile. It has both stimulating and sedative effects, which is a great combination when it comes to enhancing your mood. Lavender has been proven to ease stress, calm the mind, and treat other emotional stressors and increase your mental activity simultaneously. It pairs beautifully with other oils!
Citrus
Just based on the refreshing and invigorating scent, it’s easy to believe that Citrus oils are amazing mood-enhancers! Our Citrus-Infused Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist is a blend of orange, lemon, grapefruit, and lime essential oils, which makes it a powerhouse when it comes to brightening your day. Orange is not only uplifting to both the mind and body, but it also fosters creativity. Lemon is invigorating and promotes alertness. Grapefruit provides relief from mental fatigue and Lime is a known stress-reducer. So many amazing benefits all in one place!
Peppermint
Peppermint is another very popular essential oil. Among its incredible health benefits is the ability to calm the mind and ease anxiety as well as help with attention span, memory, and focus. Peppermint is amazing for when you need to get some work done and need to focus on the task at hand.
Now, there are several different ways that you can reap all the benefits of these essential oils now that you know about them. Oils can be applied topically. They can also be used in a diffuser, which is a great option (read more about the benefits of diffusing essential oils here).
Our personal favorite way to get the benefits of these oils is to turn your bathroom into a therapeutic steam room using our ShowerMists. Just turn on the hot water in your shower and when it starts to get steamy, spritz a few sprays of the ShowerMist of your choice into the steam cloud (away from your eyes) and enjoy! You can even mix and match your favorites to get even more benefits.
