Back pain is no joke. It can really limit what we’re free to experience in life and discourage our spirits. Medication has its place, but it doesn’t mean we need it for every tense muscle or pinched nerve. Menthol and eucalyptus products have lots of benefits to provide for back and muscle pain. So, we want to share with you some simple ways to experience relief naturally, without the pain pills.
3 Ways to Use Eucalyptus for Back Pain Relief
- Add 3-5 drops of straight eucalyptus oil directly onto sore muscles. Slowly massage into skin. It’s a strong oil though, and it may be best to dilute with coconut oil first until you know how your body responds.
- Add 15-50 drops of eucalyptus oil to a hot bath. Combined with the benefits of the oil, the heat of the water encourages muscles to relax and helps reduce next-day stiffness. For additional benefits, Epsom salts can be added to the water as well.
- The easiest option—and our favorite—is to get our top-grade Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist and simply spray it into the hot steam of your shower, or the warmth of any sauna/steam room. You’ll not only enjoy the relaxation in your muscles, but you’ll be breathing in the anti-inflammatory properties of the eucalyptus, reducing pain caused by inflamed muscles.
Other Tips
See a Chiropractor. Sometimes the solution is far more simple than we realize. Have a chiropractor check your alignment. If your spine is off balance even in one spot, it can pinch the nearby nerves, causing muscle tension and spasms.
Get Acupuncture. Doctors agree that acupuncture provides relief. Your body has a system of nerve nets and pathways all over your body. These pathways can become jammed and create pain. Acupuncture needles help to clear the congestion of the nerves so they can relax.
Drink Water. Hydrated muscles are happy muscles. Dehydration can cause the muscle fibers to become sticky and stiff. Drink more water and avoid food and drinks with caffeine, sugar, processed foods, excess salt, and alcohol.
Breathe Deeper. When we breathe deeply, we send more oxygen to the muscle tissues and calm the nerves. Don’t underestimate the power of 10 deep breaths when you’re in pain.
Remember, the body has an amazing ability to heal itself when supported well through proper lifestyle and health habits. Pain in the body is also a sign of something else going on, so in addition to getting relief naturally, be sure to investigate the cause with your doctor or natural medicine practitioner.
You don’t have to take pills for back pain anymore. Take advantage of true, natural healing today.

Ok. So you’ve quit coffee. Join the rest of the headache-ridden and groggy masses making this drastic health change. But now you’re going to need something to replace that energy kick you’re used to.
You have the right to wake up and feel energized. You don’t need a pill and you don’t need another energy drink, rather a natural solution that will wake you up FAST.
Eucalyptus oil is a miracle worker you’ve got to try. Most people are familiar with the plant’s ability to ease respiratory symptoms, soothe and open the airways, but not many are familiar with its ability to wake up the senses and heighten energy.
How does Eucalyptus replace caffeine?
It feels like a shot of caffeine. The menthol content works like 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’s invigorating. The menthol properties of eucalyptus leave a cooling sensation on the skin of the body and in the lungs. Just a few deep breaths and every cell of the body is invigorated and woken up from the inside out.
It creates relaxation and a sense of contentment. As the plant works its way into the different parts of 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 is at ease and able to function properly.
How to use Eucalyptus
One of the best ways to enjoy all the energizing benefits is to spray 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.

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?

![14 Powerful Ways You Can Use Menthol Crystals to Improve Your Quality of Life]()
May 23, 2015 | Aromatherapy
Menthol Crystals are a diamond-level cure for so many of your body’s ailments, and you deserve to know what they are. The information below will show you just how well the power of menthol crystals works to support your body in its natural process of healing.
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. So take precautions when dealing with this potent ingredient.
How Menthol Crystals Improve Quality of Life
If you’re ready to feel great, here are 14 powerful ways menthol crystals can change the quality of your life:
- Reduces itching when mixed with a carrier oil or aloe vera gel.
- Add menthol crystals to your favorite hair oil as a hair growth accelerator.
- Mix a small amount into the oil and massage on to the scalp before you shower, twice a week.Adding menthol crystals to soap recipes can enhance your soapmaking. Just make sure the crystals are completely dissolved in the soaping oils and stirred well to reduce skin irritations.
- 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, meaning it can settle the digestive system.
- Homemade air fresheners are easy to make, using menthol crystals, as they leave a wonderfully minty scent without toxic ingredients.
- A natural pesticide, you can use it in the garden around honey bee hives to deter tracheal mites, moths, and other insects.
- Calms sunburns when mixed with aloe vera gel.
- Mix with after shave or witch hazel to relieve razor burn.
- Reduce fever by placing a very small amount on the forehead or bottom of the feet.
- 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.
- Burning menthol crystals is a great way to reduce the dust mites in your house. It also repels bugs of every kind—one whiff of this stuff and they run for their lives. Put a tablespoon or two in a wax burner and vaporize each room for an hour or two.
- DIY Vapor Rub: Many people love making their own vapor rub alternative that is more effective and made of safer ingredients with the same cooling/numbing feeling that also opens up the sinuses.
- Helps with the discomfort of tension headaches too. You can apply this mix over the temples, cheek bones, collarbone, and under the nose moments before sleep. Not only will it relax the tension but will also help with minor types of congestion. Due to its strength, be sure to dilute the crystals in sweet almond, jojoba, or other skin-friendly oil and keep away from the eyes.
- Sinus Clearing: When your sinuses are really stopped up, just the smallest amount in a little very hot water, will send vapors up into your sinus, clearing them and helping you breathe. Just keep your eyes closed to protect them from any chill or sting.
- Used as aromatherapy, the scent can be used to provide relief of stress, anxiety, and nervousness.
Are you sold yet? It’s hard not to be. After getting their own menthol crystal delivery, most people are so happy about it and wonder what took them so long.

Are you looking for incredible skin, to feel amazing, and have incredible energy, without spending a fortune or turning to crazy chemicals?
If you’re sick of the toxic options and expensive, risky options out there, we’re happy to pass on some magic tips to transform your skin, energy and health — all within the comfort of your home.
Eucalyptus Steam
Eucalyptus ShowerMist is a great addition to any anti-aging routine. Simply turn up the steam in the shower and spray the Eucalyptus onto the walls and into the steam. This will allow the pores in the face to open and activate the anti-microbial cleansing properties of this healing plant. Also, inhaling the steam will invite the herbal strength to cleanse your bronchial passages, allowing for a full body cleanse that will reflect in your skin. Healthy skin, healthy body.
Lemon Water
Try starting your day with a hot cup of lemon water. Simply make hot water as you would for tea, add the juice of 1/2 a lemon and sweeten with honey or stevia if needed. This cleanses your digestive system, detoxifies the skin and blood, jump starts your energy and metabolism and neutralizes your body ph to a more alkaline level. Disease and instability of health thrive in an acidic body. The opposite of that is an alkaline body. Be healthy and start your day alkaline (side note: lemon water cleanses the digestive system, of which the kidneys are a part of. The bags and dark circles under your eyes come from overwhelmed kidneys, so drinking lemon water can help them function better).
Green Juice
There’s a lot of hype about green juice these days and it’s for good reason. Greens, similar to lemon water, alkalize water, making the body a fertile ground for beauty to grow. Greens tone the skin and blood, adding multiple vitamins, minerals, and nutrients like silica, collagen, elastin, and vitamin k to your entire body. This results in eyes that are brighter, skin that is tighter and cheeks that have that natural rosy hue. Who doesn’t want that? And there are PLENTY of delicious recipes online for incredibly tasting juice!
Self-care is surprisingly simple if you just know the tricks and are consistent. We know the importance of quality self-care, and that’s why we chose to create our own line of quality products years ago.
