This is not comfortable and it can really get in the way of kids going to school, parents going to work and the overall enjoyment of life. So how about not letting these things slow you down, and instead use a tried and true remedy to keep those nasal passages clear, healthy and happy so that you can live life freely?

Eucalyptus is the all-powerful superhero of essential oils.  When inhaled, it’s oil can open the respiratory system, reduce inflammation and allow for better breathing! It confidently storms through your bronchial passages to clear to the path for more air! Add to that, it’s anti-microbial properties and you’ll not only clear your airways, but clean house of all it’s enemies!  We recommend using this Eucalyptus Oil Shower Mist in your morning/mid-day/evening shower routine, or in a sauna/steam room if you have access to one!

Lavender Oil is a natural antihistamine, anti-inflammatory and very calming. It can help reduce irritation and relax your breathing, while also killing the germs and viruses, allowing your infection to heal much faster! Check out our Lavender-Infused Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist to use in the shower for a calming spa-like experience.

Peppermint Oil helps to open those clogged up nasal passages and can reduce headaches caused by sinus pressure as well!

Also try our Menthol Crystals for some fast relief outside the shower.

The truth is, all of the above oils would do well to be inhaled in the heat of a shower, sauna or steam room and will work miracles when rubbed on to the head, neck  and chest with a carrier oil.   They will all penetrate your skin and airways to both cleanse them of the pollen and to give you the sinus relief you so desperately need!

9 Revitalizing Benefits of Using Menthol Crystals

If you or someone you know suffers from muscle pain, allergies, skin conditions, emotional imbalance or respiratory challenges, then consider the healing benefits of menthol crystals. There’s a reason the top spas and natural practitioners have been using menthol crystals for so long. The crystals support your body’s immune system and natural ability to defend itself and heal.

What are Menthol Crystals

Menthol crystals generally come from India and are extracted from mint leaves with a gentle freezing process. The properties are so concentrated that just a few crystals are needed to create very powerful effects.

Due to their strength, you may want to wear protective eyewear, gloves and keep the space you are working in well ventilated.  They are easy to inhale in small quantities in steam, but when you are creating a recipe, you’ll be working with larger amounts in a dry environment.

9 Powerful benefits of menthol crystals

  1. When mixed with a carrier oil or aloe vera gel, menthol crystals can reduce itching.
  2. Add menthol crystals to your favorite hair oil as a hair growth accelerator. Mix a small amount into the oil and massage onto the scalp before you shower, twice a week.
  3. Menthol crystals can be used to alleviate nausea, especially when the nausea is due to motion sickness.  This is because peppermint (which is used in making menthol crystals) is a natural carminative herb, allowing it to settle the digestive system.
  4. Calms sunburns when mixed with aloe vera gel.
  5. Reduce fever by placing a very small amount on the forehead or bottom of the feet.
  6. Reduces inflammation from a sore throat when applied topically all around the neck. Can be applied directly to cuts, scrapes and bruises to reduce inflammation and irritation.
  7. For respiratory problems, make your own vapor rub alternative that is more effective and made from safer ingredients with the same cooling feeling that also opens up the sinuses.
  8. When your sinuses are congested, a small amount in a little hot water will send vapors up into your sinus, clearing them and helping you breath. Just keep your eyes closed to protect them from any chill or sting.
  9. Used as aromatherapy, the scent can be used to provide relief of stress, anxiety and nervousness.

Menthol Crystals Can Give You a Healthier Life

With that long list of benefits, it’s hard not to be sold on the power of menthol crystals. We believe that all people have the right to health and wellbeing, which is why we provide our high-quality Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist and Menthol Crystals.

5 Ways to Beat Midday Fatigue Fast and Naturally

Nothing’s worse than mental fog and fatigue, but we all seem to battle it. And if you reach for a coffee or soda, you’re only going to make it worse. The sugar and caffeine will help momentarily but keep the fatigue showing up for days, months, and even years to come as they burn out your adrenals.

So what can you do? Here are some natural ways to beat afternoon tiredness, without the side effects.

5 Ways to Overcome Midday Fatigue

Oxygen to the brain

Find a quiet place in your home or workplace that’s free from distraction, but not your bed. Turn on some relaxing music, read, or just sit in the stillness. Take one, then two, then ten deep breaths. This is your opportunity to oxygenate your blood cells and brain for better functioning plus increased energy!

Change it up

Sometimes doing the same repetitious actions make us tired. So change it up. Take a break to move your body, read a book, listen to music, and just live a little. What are the hobbies that make you come alive? How can you incorporate those things into those more sluggish hours?

Get Active

If you can go for a run or stop by the gym first thing in the morning, great! If not, make a plan to implement a small routine into your morning, so you at least set a pattern and habit to care for your mind and body. This will not only set up your day with energy but also affect the rest of your life.

Take an energy shower

Turn up the heat and let your muscles both relax and rejuvenate. Add menthol crystals to the shower steam as well to awaken your senses. Menthol crystals open up your bronchial passageways, allowing you to breathe deeper and get more oxygen to your brain. More oxygen to the brain means more clarity and mental peace. These crystals will add a great vibrancy to your day.

Fuel your body

Take time to eat a balanced meal. Give your body the fuel it needs and remember to drink plenty of water. Chinese medicine states that the morning meal is the fuel your body pulls from most, so be sure to get preventative and eat well at the start of the day.

Beat the afternoon dullness and reenergize your life. You don’t have to be tired anymore. Achieve a life of vitality and vigor.

How to Make the Most of Your Sauna Experience

It’s becoming common knowledge that using a sauna or steam room on a regular basis is a benefit to your immune system, quality of health, and life. The many benefits range from relaxation and anti-aging to pain management, weight loss, and cleansing. If you are looking for new ways to look and be healthier, adding sauna treatments to your health routine at home is a great way to start.

At EuroSpa, we specialize in supporting the immune system and total body health with the use of Eucalyptus oils and Menthol crystals. It’s easy to add these powerful agents to your natural health routine.

Make the most of your sauna experience with these benefits

Pain Management

Heat has an analgesic, or pain relieving, effect due to its ability to create more effective blood flow. Painful conditions caused by inflammation such as arthritis and fibromyalgia can be temporarily managed through heat treatments like those found in both saunas and steam rooms. Massaging essential oils, such as peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary or even wintergreen, in small amounts and diluted with coconut oil, on to the muscles before and after entering the heat will further your results even more. For managing pain, saunas may be preferable for people who are negatively affected by humidity as are some sufferers of acute rheumatoid arthritis.

Anti-Aging

Due to the increased circulation of the blood, the contraction and detoxification of the pores, and the activation of collagen and elastin, saunas are great for restoring a youthful glow to the skin. You will love the way your skin regains that rosy hue and hydrated glow.

Expectorant

One health advantage that can only be provided through the heat of saunas is the expectorant effect, when adding a Menthol-Infused Eucalyptus Oil to the mix, such as eucalyptus oil. These oils thin and open the mucous membranes in your body, including in your sinuses, throat and lungs. If you suffer chronic congestion or sinus infections, using Eucalyptus, peppermint and rosemary, can help loosen and clear the mucous from your nose, chest and throat.

Mind and Body Relaxation

We lead stressful lives, so the emotional and physical relaxation that stems from sauna use is irreplaceable, providing a calmer response in your mind and body when dealing with everyday stress. Both wet and dry heat simulate sedative effects that generate feelings of calmness and relaxation, and some people who suffer emotional or mood disorder may find relief with regular trips to saunas or even steam rooms.

To increase the above benefits, add menthol crystals or eucalyptus.

Menthol Crystals

Just sprinkle a very small amount on your carpet or add to your oil on a burner or warmer. Always start with less than you think you’ll need. It doesn’t take much to infuse the entire room or sauna with the uplifting scent of menthol. You can also melt the crystals into a mineral oil to use as a bath salt. Or allow the oil to cool and apply as a paste for sore muscles. When you use menthol crystals, you should start with just 1/4 teaspoon or even a single medium-sized crystal. It’s better to use too little than too much.

Eucalyptus ShowerMist

This one is so simple, you can even use it in the shower. Just turn on the water and let it get hot before stepping in. Now spray a few shots of 100% pure Eucalyptus oil right into the steam. For the sauna, simply spray 2 or 3 sprays into the air or onto the rocks, and enjoy. The result is an explosion of invigoration that permeates the shower area and instantly energizes and relaxes your whole body. Breathe the powerful aroma into your lungs and feel it go to work cleaning and providing antibacterial action into your entire respiratory system.

So next time you go to the spa or sauna, bring some goodies with you that will make your experience truly excellent.
