With its fragrant scent and beneficial aromatherapeutic properties, the eucalyptus plant and eucalyptus oil makes the perfect decorating staple for your healthy home.
Eucalyptus oil has been used for centuries for its many health-boosting properties as an all-natural healing agent, a non-toxic antimicrobial and antibacterial cleaning agent, beauty product, antiseptic, and so much more.
Bringing eucalyptus into your home can help reduce seasonal allergies, purify the air in your home, and act as an all-natural energizer and stimulant.
Eucalyptus essential oil is effective for treating a number of respiratory problems including cold, cough, runny nose, sore throat, asthma, nasal congestion, bronchitis, and sinusitis. Eucalyptus oil is antibacterial, anti-fungal, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and decongestant in nature.
No wonder this plant and its oil is a beautiful yet healthy addition to your home! As a decorative staple, the plant is versatile, beautiful in both its fresh and dried states. Pair it with our Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist and you’ll have a relaxing, inviting, and nourishing home atmosphere you crave to be in.
How to Decorate Your Home with Eucalyptus
1. As a garland
Eucalyptus branches are an inexpensive yet elegant and calming way to enhance the atmosphere of your home. Arrange a few boughs above your fireplace or down your dining room table and be sure to spritz regularly with our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist to keep the scent fragrant for extended periods of time.
2. As a centerpiece in vases around the home
Arrange a few stems of varying heights in small, medium, and large vases throughout your home. Style on tables, counter tops, and bookshelves next to your favorite candles.
3. As a wreath
Eucalyptus is versatile all year round, pairing well with soft pink florals in the spring, muted tones in the winter, and bright, energetic colors in the fall and summer! Use as a wreath in your home or on your front door all year long.
4. In your shower and guest bathrooms
You’ve likely seen dried eucalyptus used in showers and steam rooms, and for good reason! Eucalyptus provides many health benefits for inner healing and improved respiratory function when inhaled. Hang dried eucalyptus branches upside down from your shower head to beautify your bathroom, and be sure to use our Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist for a transformative steam room experience right in your own home.
5. Spray, spray, spray!
Be sure to use our Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist throughout your home to pull the atmosphere together and create an aromatherapeutic experience every time you step through your door!

We love eucalyptus. Its light, herbal scent and soft, rustic aesthetic makes it the perfect foundational decoration and fragrance for any event, especially weddings.
Eucalyptus represents abundance and protection as well, adding a touch of meaningful symbolism to your special day.
When paired with our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist, especially, eucalyptus decor is sure to create a unique and memorable experience for bride, groom and every friend and family member in attendance.
Here are a few of our favorite ways to use eucalyptus to make your wedding one you’ll remember forever!
Ways to Use Eucalyptus for Your Wedding
- Arrange it in your bouquet. Eucalyptus adds a soft and beautiful filler to any floral bouquet. Or, opt for a eucalyptus-only bouquet for a simple yet memorable style!
- Use it in a floral crown. Eucalyptus crowns or halos are beautiful for bride, bridesmaids and even flower girls.
- Incorporate in corsages and boutonnieres. Don’t leave out the rest of the bridal party! The groom and his groomsmen will love the simplicity of eucalyptus, and your mother-in-law will love the scent of her corsage!
- Arrange in the centerpieces. Eucalyptus makes a gorgeous centerpiece, especially when paired with succulents, roses, or bright florals! Be sure to mist the centerpieces with our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist to enhance the aroma.
- Fashion as a table runner garland. Lay branches of eucalyptus down the table runners as a garland – and don’t forget to spray a few touches of our mist!
- Use a floral wreath as an altar backdrop. Like your bouquet, eucalyptus is beautiful all on its own or when paired with other florals. The design is up to you!
- Give to the flower girl to toss instead of petals. The eucalyptus leaves will add a unique look to your aisle runner.
- Give to guests to toss during your grand exit! Some wedding parties toss bird seed, some light sparklers, but eucalyptus is a sweet and simple way to make your wedding unlike any other.
- Give out mini-bouquets as favors. Guests will love taking home a few branches of eucalyptus. Pair with a tea light candle for a favor they’ll be sure to use and set out in their home.
- Our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist in travel size makes the perfect favor for a eucalyptus-themed wedding! Guests will enjoy remembering your special day every time they spray the mist.
Planning on using eucalyptus in your wedding? Don’t forget a bottle of our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist to spray throughout your day to create unique and lasting memories!

What could be more refreshing than walking into a spa, fitness center or gym and smelling the calming aroma of eucalyptus instead of perspiration and bleach?

If you own a gym, yoga or pilates studio, chances are you have at least a couple yoga mats hanging around your space. You may already be using a mat cleaner to keep these mats sanitized, but is your cleaner a holistic, all-natural, non-toxic and safe option?
According to the American Lung Association, many cleaners include harmful substances called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can negatively affect the body’s central nervous system, liver and kidneys.
Your customers are likely visiting your gym each and every day, if not at least a couple times each week. These toxic compounds can build up over time and pose potential health risks to your clients.
When choosing any kind of cleaner for your gym, spa or studio, it’s incredibly important to focus on the health and safety of your clients and customers as well as the cleanliness of your space. Are you ready to make the switch to an all-natural cleaner?
Top Reasons You Need Non-Toxic, Holistic Yoga Mat Cleaner
- Your customers have direct skin-to-mat contact for a lengthy amount of time. Because of the unique way your customers use yoga mats, large portions of their skin will come into contact with the mat for an extended period of time (i.e. the length of the class or workout). So, it is especially crucial to the safety of your customers to select a yoga mat cleaner that is safe and non-toxic.
- Your customers share mats following each workout. Our non-toxic yoga mat cleaner is incredibly effective for eliminating harmful bacteria found in sweat and skin particles, making sharing mats between workouts safe and healthy!
- Your customers likely value safe, holistic and non-toxic cleaning options. Ask any of your customers which they prefer – toxins and chemicals, or all-natural ingredients like essential oils?
- Non-natural products can be corrosive to your equipment (and just think what they do to your customers’ skin!).
- Your responsibility to your customers is to help them cultivate a healthy, thriving lifestyle. Go back and read your company’s mission statement. It likely includes a message about promoting and encouraging healthy living for each and every one of your customers, doesn’t it? Wouldn’t you want to live up to that mission, even down to the cleaning products you use?
Keep your customers and employees safe day in and day out with our Eucalyptus-based yoga mat cleaner!

To the men in our lives who work hard, support their families, inspire us with sage advice, and tell endless dad jokes… we love you and we’re thankful for you! Here are a few of our favorite essential oils for good ol’ Dad.
Eucalyptus Oil for Dads With Beards
Our favorite scruffy faces are always in need of a little pampering. Create a smoothing, stimulating beard oil by mixing a few drops of Eucalyptus and other essential oils depending on your preferred scent (our recommendations: citrus, tea tree, or cedarwood) with a carrier oil like jojoba.
Lavender Oil for Dads Who Need Better Sleep
Lavender Oil is known for its sedative properties. Does your dad need to relax? Spritz a little in the shower or start diffusing it 20 minutes before bed, and Dad will knock out in no time. Let him snore all night long… It’s his day, after all.
A Natural Alternative to Dad’s Cologne
Instead of reaching for a bottle filled to the brim with chemicals and toxic ingredients, give Dad some essential oils to mix as he pleases and help him smell great. Some classic options are Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Lavender, and Citrus.

If you’re having a long week at the office or feel more stressed than usual, here’s a friendly reminder to make time for self-care.
Self-care is any activity that, when done intentionally, helps you take care of your emotional, mental, and physical health. While self-care preferences vary from person to person, here are a few of our favorite ideas!
Turn your bathroom into a sauna.
Steam up your bathroom by running a hot bath or shower with a spritz of Mint-Infused Eucalyptus ShowerMist (or Menthol-Infused ShowerMist for a refreshing mojito scent). Lounge around in your favorite robe and let the fresh steam help you relax.
Ditch the screens and read a good book.
When’s the last time that you sat down and read a novel or magazine? If it’s been so long that you don’t remember, this tip is for you! Grab that book you’ve been meaning to finish and read a few chapters.
Wind down with some slow stretches.
Grab your yoga mat and enjoy some gentle stretches like Child’s Pose, Knees to Chest, or Reclined Twist. Use our Eucalyptus + Lavender Yoga Mat cleaning spray after you’re done to keep your mat smelling fresh and clean.
Head to bed early and get some good rest.
It’s tempting to stay up late to catch up with your friends on Facebook or the watch the TV shows you missed this week, but why not turn the lights out early and get a few more hours of sleep? Netflix will be there when you wake up – we promise.
