Lavender Oil is one of the most well-known essential oils in the world. And why wouldn’t it be? It smells like heaven on earth and is so versatile! Here are our top three favorite benefits of this amazing oil:
Lavender Oil has incredible therapeutic properties.
When used aromatically, Lavender Oil has been known to reduce feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression. Struggle with insomnia? Lavender Oil can help you with that too! Spritz a little in the shower or diffuse before bedtime to help your body naturally wind down and sink into a deep, relaxed sleep.
Lavender Oil is the perfect match for your beauty routine.
Did you know that Lavender Oil can be added to several of your beauty regimens to boost their effectiveness? Add a few drops to your mascara to naturally lengthen lashes or to your favorite facial moisturizer to bring the glow back to your skin and help reduce acne. You can even massage it into your scalp during a shower to restore hair health.
Lavender Oil is great for pain relief, especially tension headaches.
Many people swear by using Peppermint Oil for headaches and migraines. When applied topically, Peppermint Oil (blended with a carrier oil) gives a cooling effect and stimulates blood flow to the area and reduces inflammation. Adding just a couple drops of Lavender Oil to the Peppermint blend can produce a mild sedative effect, helping muscles and tension relax – which is what may have been causing the headache in the first place.

Nobody likes to find out an army of ants has been attacking their kitchen. And everyone is always on the look out for the right repellent. Unfortunately, most of these repellents contain harmful and toxic ingredients. But here’s the good news: We have a solution that’s natural, safe and totally effective.
Ants navigate their lives through their sense of smell. They spread out, look for food and the ones that find it bring the report back to rest, letting them know where to go.
Eucalyptus oil, with its strong scent, drives away ants by leaving them confused and unable to find food. Here’s how you can use Eucalyptus oil to keep the ants away.
What You Need to Make Your Own Ant Repellent
Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist: No kidding, you just need this one item, and those little pests will be gone. Can you believe it? And you can also use the oil for other health needs as well.
How to Get Rid of the Ants for Good
Instead of trying to kill each individual ant near your home, you want to prevent ants from even getting inside. So you need to figure out where the ants are getting into the house first. Usually, ants will form lines, so follow the line back to the start or entry point. However, this isn’t always the case. If there is no line of ants to follow, you will simply have to look carefully for their entrance.
Spray the area of entry generously, so the ants aren’t able to avoid or get around the oil. You also want to figure out what food source attracted the ants, and spray the area around it, along with any other areas that you frequently find them.
Now you have a pest-free home that smells great too. There’s nothing you won’t love about our Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMists.

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!

“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.
