When it comes to hair, countless women are looking for ways to help it grow longer, stronger, and faster. So many pills out on the market promise to give you unbelievable results. The problem is that most of their results are unbelievable. And those that believe do so out of sheer determination to find something that delivers the results they are looking for. We’ve all been there at some point.
The truth about quick fixes is, even if they do provide a fast result, they don’t often offer a lasting one. The best fixes are foundational, long-term, and sustainable.
We believe in natural healing and health through the power of food, lifestyle, and the plants around us. Why? Because all three of these “fixes” have shown themselves to be reliable resources for long-term change. And if you’re looking for help with the health and growth of your hair, we want to share our best option for healthy, affordable, and visible results that appear faster than you think.
Eucalyptus Oil for Healthier Hair
An essential oil for your hair? It may sound odd, but its abilities are unparalleled when it comes to hair growth. Eucalyptus has several health benefits, but it’s most well-known for healing and regeneration, which is exactly what your hair needs. Here’s how it can help:
Eliminates Dandruff
Eucalyptus oil can eliminate dandruff, which is not only unsightly but also clogs the pores, making it difficult for hair to grow.
When using Eucalyptus oil for dandruff, simply wet your hair to open the pores, then spray Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist onto the scalp about 8 inches from the head and gently massage your scalp for a few minutes. Allow the oil to sit for a few moments to activate in the steam of the shower.
Breathe in the steam as well, for an added boost to your immune system and respiratory health.
This method is also beneficial in getting rid of head lice and their eggs, so parents should keep this oil handy to protect the little ones’ heads safe from an invasion.
Promotes Elasticity
Another benefit of Eucalyptus oil is that it can increase hair elasticity. So many of us know how frustrating it can be when you are trying to grow out your hair into luxurious locks only to lose your progress to breakage and split ends. To prevent this from happening, Eucalyptus oil strengthens hair and promotes a healthier hair structure.
Now you can have a healthier head of hair that will wow everyone around you. And all because of Eucalyptus oil.
There are so many more benefits Eucalyptus oil can provide, and especially when infused with other oils. If you want more tips, then sign up for our newsletter right now!

This is the season of sneezing and sinus pain. You want to go outside and enjoy the spring air, but it hurts. You deserve to get out there and embrace the beautiful season, but how can you with hay fever waiting at the door? First, let’s get clear about what hay fever is.
Otherwise known as allergic rhinitis or pollinosis, hay fever is an allergic reaction triggered by allergens such as dust, pollen, mites, grasses, molds, animal fur/hair and/or air pollution. The condition tends to occur seasonally with outdoor allergens and at any time to those found indoors.
Common symptoms of hay fever include:
- Coughing
- Headaches
- Sneezing
- Sore throat
- Itching of nose, mouth, eyes, throat, ear, and skin
- Impaired smell
- Wheezing
- Red and watery eyes
- Stuffy and runny nose
- Fatigue
- Sleeping problems.
Ready for relief? Here’s what you want to do:
How to Find Relief from Hay Fever
Eat Preventatively
Choose to eat a clean and balanced diet, full of high-quality protein, fruits, and vegetables. This reduces many hay fever symptoms and strengthens the immune system. Drink a lot of water and do your best to avoid grains, dairy, excess salt, sugar, alcohol, and any other highly processed foods. Foods that will attack the source of hay fever are garlic, ginger, onions, and honey.
Herbal Help
Several herbs may be used to calm the sneezing, coughing, itching, and congestion symptoms associated with hay fever. They work mainly by strengthening and supporting the allergen-fighting aspect of your immune system. Some of these herbs are stinging nettle, gingko, and quercetin.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture has repeatedly been shown to effectively relieve symptoms of hay fever. Acupuncture corrects and balances the energy flow of your body (your body’s electrical system) through the use of needles on the skin, specifically on facial points. This stimulates the immune system, clears congestion or any associated pain, and reduces inflammation.
Steam with Eucalyptus
This is an easy and relaxing option for relieving hay fever symptoms. Start a hot shower or bath and breathe in the steam. The steam will break up the mucous and relax tense muscles. Also, adding essential oils like our Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist to the steam will relieve symptoms and attack the root cause of your hay fever.
Other Preventative Ideas
In natural healing, prevention is key. Some things you can try doing to avoid the issue altogether are to stay indoors if you hear the pollen count is high. Furthermore, avoid going outside during windy days or after thunderstorms. And instead of a lawn, replace it with bricks, rocks, and stone as your landscape. If you must go outside, take a little castor oil or petroleum jelly and line your nostrils with it. This creates a gentle barrier and protects your membranes from pollen. Lastly, wash your face, splash water on your eyes, and blow your nose to rid yourself of any possible pollen.

If you’ve been a sufferer of the brutal viruses going around, you’re going to be happy to hear about these incredibly effective, natural treatments that will not only shorten the duration of the cold but boost your immune system and help you feel better much faster.
We are dedicated to your health in the most natural ways possible. So please enjoy these natural and simple home remedies for faster healing!
How to Cure Common Spring Health Problems Naturally
Spicy Lemon Tea
This one is simple. Warm a mug of hot water and add the juice of half a lemon to it. Add honey, stevia or agave to balance the bitter with some sweet. Avoid adding sugar to sweeten as this will feed any potential infection. Lastly, add about 1/4 Tsp of cayenne pepper to the mix for a spicy kick. You can always add more if you like more spice, but add it gradually. The cayenne increases blood flow, reduces pain, and strengthens the immune system.
Licorice Root
Licorice tea has been a reliable source of relief for a long time. Don’t be confused, this dependable herb is far from the candy you may know it to be. An often underestimated herb, licorice is quite potent and has been used to treat ailments from tendonitis and ulcers to HIV and fungal infections. With that said, it’s not a surprise that this powerful herb can kill infection while offering quick (and delicious) sore throat relief. Go to any store that sells tea, and you are sure to find it easily.
Essential Oils
Grab a bottle of Mint-Infused Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist and simply inhale. You’ll be surprised at how fast your sinuses will clear. Additionally, both Mint and Eucalyptus have anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, so inhaling them will also get to the source of your infection.
Steam Inhalation
This is the most popular method. Fill a small tub or a large bowl to about 3/4 of its capacity with hot water. Next, add some Eucalyptus oil, either a few drops or a few sprays of Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist, to the water. Now, bow your head above the tub/pot of fragrant water and drape a towel over your head to create a small space for the steam to be trapped near your face. Keep your mouth closed and breathe in deep so that the Eucalyptus-laden steam reaches deep inside the nose and the upper respiratory tract. This method is very effective in providing relief from inflammation of the sinuses and blood vessels inside the nasal cavity, soothing nasal congestion, and sinus headaches.

Apr 7, 2015 | All About Eucalyptus, Aromatherapy
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.

Mar 23, 2015 | All About Eucalyptus, Shower & Bath
We know our Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist is amazing. But when moms who’ve “tried everything” use and rave about our product, our ears perk up and we get excited. Eucalyptus oil is a powerful and healing tool for better internal health through supporting the body’s respiratory system with the added bonus of energizing the mind and bringing relief to body aches and soreness. Who wouldn’t want that?
Well, Janice, from www.5minutesformom.com – agrees wholeheartedly with us and was excited to spread the word about her “shower revelation.” Here’s what Janice had to say,
“I realize that it seems like 95% of people on this continent are now using essential oils to treat everything from their headaches to their tummy aches to their toe fungus, and I have jumped on that essential oil band wagon as well. I diffuse oils constantly – I have a diffuser by my bed and one in my kitchen. I rub them into my temples and the bottoms of my feet. I drink them, cook with them, clean with them and even bathe with them.
But for some reason, I had never showered with essential oils.
I guess I needed EuroSpa to make a shower mist with 100% pure eucalyptus oil and tell me to spray it into the steam of a hot shower for me to figure it out.
And now I am changed. I will be spraying eucalyptus oil into my showers for the rest of my days. It would just be silly not to…
- It wakes me up — Yes, I have always used my morning shower to “wake up,” but adding eucalyptus oil to that morning wake up is like adding a shot of caffeine to my shower experience, but without any caffeine needed!
- It clears out my sinuses — I don’t always have a cold. Although, as a mom with grade school kids, it seems like I am usually fighting off something. But even when I don’t have a virus, the eucalyptus oil seems to open up my sinuses, like I am breathing in fresh, misty mountain air.
- It is invigorating — I am not a morning person. I have a hard time “getting started.” But some deep breaths of eucalyptus invigorates me from the inside and out. It makes me a little bit more ready for my day.
- It feels like a spa — I haven’t had a facial in years, maybe decades. Going to the spa just isn’t in my budget. But with a few squirts of eucalyptus oil into the hot steam of my shower, my morning shower just went up in value. An easy taste of affordable indulgence.
How To Use
It’s so easy to transform your shower into a spa-like eucalyptus steam room…
- Begin by spraying one or two spritzes into the palms of your hands.
- Rub vigorously together to create heat.
- Now cup and bring slowly to your nose and breath in gently.
- Before you get in the shower, run hot water and spray into the steam.
- While you’re in the shower, you can also spray above the shower head.
- You may use between 5 to 10 sprays depending on how rich you want the scent.”
