We all know the drill so well. The alarm clock goes off, we roll over to turn it off and have no clue how we’re going to wake up without 3 cups of coffee. What you need at that point is an energy boost like no other. Not a pill, not a drink, but a natural solution that will wake you up fast.
Eucalyptus oil is the miracle we are talking about.
Most are familiar with the plant’s ability to ease respiratory symptoms, soothe and open the airways, but not many are familiar with its power to wake up the senses and heighten energy.
Use Eucalyptus as Your Daily Energy Boost
- It’s invigorating: The menthol properties of Eucalyptus leave a cooling sensation on the skin and in the lungs. Just a few deep breaths and every cell of the body is invigorated and woken up from the inside out.
- Stronger than a shot of caffeine: The menthol works as a vasoconstrictor, causing the cells to vibrate at a faster level, bringing more circulation and oxygen to the brain, inviting better concentration and more natural focus.
- It creates relaxation and a sense of contentment: This is one of my favorite points. As the oil’s potency is diffused throughout the body, each cell is not only invigorated, but the body relaxes as though it’s been to the spa. When you’re awakened and relaxed at the same time, your mind feels peace and contentment. Not bad, right?
How to use Eucalyptus oil
Our favorite way is to spray our Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist into the steam of your shower. The steam further activates the oil and opens your pores, allowing your body to more efficiently absorb the oil.
Banish the morning mental fog from your daily routine for good and start experiencing life as it should be.

When it comes to what we put on and in our bodies, it’s important to know that it’s safe,
right? That’s why many companies are using clever marketing to convince their customer base that their products are safe. But are they?
Essential oil companies should be carefully reviewed before your purchase. Their standard of quality should be clear and understandable. At EuroSpa Aromatics, we are more than happy to disclose our product information, processes, and quality standards. And that’s why for many years we have been proud to say that our products are all pharmaceutical grade.
Why You Should Only Use Pharmaceutical Grade Essential Oils
Let’s talk about why your essential oils should always be pharmaceutical grade.
When it comes to standards, pharmaceutical grade (British Pharmacopeia), is the one we use. It’s the only scientifically-based grading system available for essential oils. Being a part of this ensures our products’ potency and unbeatable aroma.
And for essential oils to be pure and effective, they must have higher than 70% cineole content. Our pharmaceutical grade Eucalyptus oil has a cineole content of 80-85% and is 100% pure with no additives or fillers. The 80-85% cineole ensures maximum effectiveness for therapeutic applications and uses.
There’s a reason top luxury and wellness spas all over the US order their products from us. We have been supplying them with top-of-the-line eucalyptus oil for over 30 years. What’s great is that you too can have the same high-quality Eucalyptus oil that 5-star hotels use right in the comfort of your home with our Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist.
Eucalyptus supports your respiratory, musculoskeletal, circulatory, and nervous system, allowing you to bring the healing power of a luxury steam room into your home and shower.
You’ll feel refreshed, invigorated, and boosted—especially knowing that the Eucalyptus oil you’re using is a top quality, pharmaceutical grade, essential oil.

“Therapeutic grade” is marketing hype. There is no such standard!
Essential Oils have a ton of hype and popularity right now, and it’s for a good reason. They have shown to efficiently support the body in its ability to heal itself when they meet high standards. But what standard is that exactly?
First of all, there’s synthetic grade. This is the most common grade and is used to scent cosmetics, hair products, and body lotions. That’s all they should be used for.
Then there’s food grade. This level of quality (or lack thereof) is used to food flavorings in snacks, dressings, chewing gum, and the like. To meet food grade standards, an oil must be listed on the FDA’s list of acceptable food products. Eucalyptus oil is on the list. There is no standard beyond this set by the FDA.
How to Spot False Essential Oil Standards
Most Eucalyptus oils on the market today claim a classification of therapeutic. Unfortunately, this standard does not and is just marketing hype. Any eucalyptus oil can claim to be
Most Eucalyptus oils on the market today claim a classification of therapeutic. Unfortunately, this standard does not and is just marketing hype. Any eucalyptus oil can claim to be therapeutic grade, but since the standard doesn’t exist, this means nothing. Many of the oils that claim to be therapeutic may have a great aroma and healing properties. But the use of the term “therapeutic” will not help you in selecting the best essential oil.
According to Aromaweb.com:
“No governmental agency or generally accepted organization ‘grades’ or ‘certifies’ essential oils as ‘therapeutic grade,’ ‘medicinal grade,’ or ‘aromatherapy grade’ in the U.S. There is no formally approved grading standard used consistently throughout the essential oil industry.”
The only scientific grade available for essential oils is pharmaceutical grade. While several organizations provide this standard, most of the standards are derived from the British Pharmacopeia. There are not many essential oil providers out there that can honestly claim to have met such a standard.
Why Pharmaceutical Grade is the Only Trustworthy Standard for Essential Oils
At EuroSpa Aromatics, we specifically only use and source the best, pharmaceutical grade Eucalyptus oil. While this standard provides a high degree of certainty that the oil will have a great aroma and be effective in its purpose.
And with several major 5-star resort hotels and luxury spa steam rooms as our largest customers, you can be certain the product you receive from us will always be the best.
Eucalyptus oil is made up of over 100 compounds, each compound containing a piece of the plant’s DNA and immune system. The less oil that is distilled, the cruder it is considered, and the more of its compounds it still contains. Oils that do not claim pharmaceutical grade are typically distilled just one time, which leaves compounds in the oil that either reduce the quality of the product or reduce the potency.
With pharmaceutical grade, the plant is distilled a second time which eliminates more of the unwanted compounds. The pharmaceutical grade standard requires a final potency of 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) resulting in at least 70% of the desired cineole.
Our Eucalyptus oil products exceed these standards, and all of our oils are guaranteed to contain 80-85% cineole. This means our Eucalyptus oil is strong and safe to be used for antiseptics, muscle and bone pain, cough remedies, natural cleaning, air purification, surface sanitation, and cleaning.
The 80-85% standard that we employ also assures you the best possible aroma. If you love Eucalyptus oil, you may have experienced products or steam rooms where the aroma seems week, too pungent, or even not pleasant at all. This is either because the oil is only single distilled or because the supplier has added other agents (cut the oil) to lower the cost.
Our Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist meets these same standards. You spray it into the steam and are not only invigorated but also your entire respiratory system is cleansed and strengthened; great news for those suffering from sinusitis and asthma.
Finally, we want you to rest assured knowing that all EuroSpa Aromatics’ products are produced from Eucalyptus oil that significantly exceeds the pharmaceutical standard. All of our products are fresh and non-toxic. Unlike Eucalyptus oils common in our industry, EuroSpa’s blends do not contain any industrial solvents, isopropyl alcohol, or water.

Why suffer through the throes of bronchitis when you can find relief easily, naturally, and in the comfort of your home?
We believe you have the right to feel good and experience excellent health. Bronchitis shouldn’t hold you back at all.
How to Get Relief from Bronchitis
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the trachea and bronchial tubes, typically resulting from a viral infection, such as a cold or flu. If you get bronchitis once, you tend to get it again. When essential oils are used at the earliest signs of bronchitis, they can help slow or even stop the cycle of inflammation.
- Avoid eating mucous-producing foods, such as dairy product, white flour products, and all products containing large amounts of white sugar. A diet of fruits and vegetables only for a week or two is a great diet for bronchitis.
- Increase your regular intake of water to at least ½ gallon daily (on a “normal” day, you should be drinking at least half your body weight in ounces).
- Avoid very dry air by using a diffuser and or getting into steam as often as possible. Add drops of Eucalyptus oil to the diffuser to enhance the effect. Further, get our amazing Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist and spray it into the shower steam. Your lungs will open up quickly, and the relief feels great.
- Stay away from all tobacco or industrial smoke.
- Generally, avoid cough suppressants, since coughing helps to lift and eliminate the mucus that is generated by the bronchial inflammation.
Relief from bronchitis is possible without the use of dangerous drugs and chemicals.

Mar 10, 2015 | Spas, Steam Rooms & Saunas
If you’re a busy person, having both health and relaxation just doesn’t seem possible. The good news is that is. Have you ever had the opportunity to enjoy a steam room or sauna? They have incredible health and beautification benefits while allowing you to relax and re-energize.
How Saunas and Steam Rooms Support Health and Relaxation
Saunas
Saunas can be used as a means of calming the body and relieving stress. If you suffer from insomnia (one in three people have a mild case), they can also help induce sleep.
The heat from the sauna helps the body release endorphins, a feel-good chemical that reduces the effects of stress on the body which can relax you enough to sleep better. The sauna heats up your body, so when you leave and begin to cool down, your body releases increased levels of melatonin. Melatonin relaxes you and promotes deeper sleep.
The heat from a sauna soothes your nerve endings, warming and relaxing muscles. This relieves tension from your body and minimizes joint pain. Those suffering from illnesses such as arthritis, painful migraines, and headaches will especially find saunas beneficial.
Steam Room
Steam rooms have similar benefits to saunas, but they work with added moisture in the air. Steam opens up your airways, improving your breathing and alleviating congestion. The wet heat thins and opens the mucous membranes in the body, relieving sinus pressure. That makes steam rooms more beneficial for those with asthma and bronchitis.
Steam rooms also increase metabolism and aid in mild weight loss. Steam will produce sweat, which means your body is losing water weight. Since our bodies largely consist of water, sweating will cause you to lose a few pounds. The sweat also detoxifies and cleanses the body.
Skin Benefits
Both facilities open the pores, increasing blood and lymphatic circulation, softening your skin. After using either one, you should notice a healthy pink glow, making you look younger.
Steam rooms cleanse out any impurities from the skin which is especially good for those who have acne. Similarly, saunas eradicate blackheads to give you clearer skin.
In addition to the heat of steam rooms and saunas, there are options for enhancing your experience and adding health benefits to essential oils. Common ones are Lavender, Orange, and our favorite, Eucalyptus.
We offer a Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist that you can easily use both in the shower and spa alike. Eucalyptus is antimicrobial and is a powerful immune support, and cleanser of the sinus and bronchial passages. Great for migraines and stiff muscles. What’s not to love?
