How to Ease Respiratory Infection and Cough With Menthol Crystals

What if you could easily relieve the symptoms of bronchial congestion and muscle tension alike, naturally and easily, right in your own home? Well, there is a way.

Nobody likes to be plagued by ailments that slow us down and cause us to live life on a ‘lesser than’ level. Common frustrations like muscle stiffness, joint pain, respiratory pain, or congestions not only slow us down, but they wear on us and bring our whole life quality down.

Everyone has experienced lung congestion one or multiple times. It’s miserable and hard to breathe. You deserve fast acting, natural relief that not only clears the congestion but heals you as well.

Regular lung cleansing may just be the answer to many respiratory problems. Since we’re always breathing, problems with the lungs can really slow us down; it’s not something we can easily ignore. Even the best medicines tend to only help on a temporary basis.

The Answer to Easing Respiratory Infections and Cough

So what is the answer? Menthol crystals. Menthol crystals are a remedy you can use at home, that will provide symptomatic relief because the menthol reduces bronchial constriction and airway hyperresponsiveness.

Menthol likely sounds familiar to you as the plant essence that is often found in mouthwashes, toothpaste, balms, and many other products. It’s the primary active ingredient in essential oil of peppermint that provides the familiar cooling sensation. Menthol crystals are produced by rapidly cooling Eucalyptus and Peppermint. They are very concentrated and if used properly, are very beneficial when used for lung cleansing in small amounts.

How to Use Menthol Crystals for Respiratory Infections and Cough

Lung cleansing products that contain menthol crystals can provide tremendous relief for symptoms of congestion, upper respiratory problems, sore throat and coughs. In fact, most lozenges, cough drops, and respiratory balms will list menthol as the chief ingredient. It’s no surprise, if you’re congested and start inhaling the scent of menthol crystals, you can almost feel the menthol vapors attacking and breaking up lung congestion. The cooling and soothing sensation can be very relieving.

Adding menthol crystals to hot water and inhaling the vapors can begin to soothe congestion and irritated nasal or throat passages. Before getting in the shower, try dissolving some menthol crystals in a little water and add a few drops to the shower walls. The steam will release the menthol and provide you with an invigorating shower that provides aroma therapeutic benefits.

Menthol Crystals for Spas

Menthol crystals aren’t just available in small amounts for home use. They can also be used in industrial amounts in spa’s as well. So if you’re a spa owner, we would love to enhance the benefits your clientele enjoys through these amazing menthol crystals. Just imagine infusing one of your darker steam rooms with menthol essential oils, as your clients’ sinuses and lungs rapidly clear.

Nobody should have to live with debilitating respiratory issues, so use menthol crystals to get the help you deserve.

The Unbelievable Healing Health Benefits of Eucalyptus

Prevention and care are the secrets to the longevity of health. Knowing the tools for prevention and care provides true control over your health.

We know there are many powerfully healing plants and natural remedies out there but are most fascinated by Eucalyptus. Eucalyptus is one of the most effective plant oils that supports the immune system and overall health.

Eucalyptus is refreshing, stimulating, and a potent, long-lasting oil with a well-known aroma, right up there with the more common essential oils such as lavender, rose, and mint. Eucalyptus is a must-have for every family medicine cabinet, due to its antibacterial and anti-viral healing potency.

The Healing Benefits of Eucalyptus

  • Respiratory aid with a strong influence on breathing and is helpful for regenerating lung tissue and function.
  • Stimulates oxygen uptake in cell tissues and increases circulation. Increased oxygenation in the lungs promotes the cleansing and repair function of red blood cells.
  • Eucalyptus is an excellent blood cleanser.
  • Diffuse aromatically or use in a dilution of coconut or jojoba oil on the chest and upper back to treat bronchial problems.
  • It’s a great expectorant and cough suppressant.
  • Eucalyptus eases inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes, as well as nasal congestion.
  • Eucalyptus helps to relieve fevers. Useful in cool compresses: apply to the forehead, back of the neck, and over the kidneys and pelvic region.
  • Eucalyptus is a traditional remedy for sinusitis, bronchitis, asthma, strep throat, colds and flu, hay fever, catarrh, coughs, sinus headache, and tension headaches due to congestion.

And the benefits go on and on. Due to its antibacterial and antimicrobial nature, Eucalyptus oil is something every home’s medicine cabinet should hold. That’s why we’ve formulated the strongest, most pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist on the market. Not only can it be sprayed into shower steam for a home spa style of medicinal use, but it can also disinfect rooms and surfaces.

How to Spot False Essential Oil Standards (And Not Get Ripped Off)

“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 One Mom Is OBSESSED With Spraying Eucalyptus Oil In Her Shower

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…

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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…

  1. Begin by spraying one or two spritzes into the palms of your hands.
  2. Rub vigorously together to create heat.
  3. Now cup and bring slowly to your nose and breath in gently.
  4. Before you get in the shower, run hot water and spray into the steam.
  5. While you’re in the shower, you can also spray above the shower head.
  6. You may use between 5 to 10 sprays depending on how rich you want the scent.”

6 Ways Eucalyptus Oil Can Benefit Your Body’s Health!

6 Ways Eucalyptus Oil Can Benefit Your Body’s Health!

6 Ways Eucalyptus Oil Can Benefit Your Body's Health!Eucalyptus oil is the most commonly used oil for aromatherapy. It has a strong camphor like scent and especially powerful germicidal properties. Do you know all the ways Eucalyptus can benefit your body’s health?  And there are just as many ways to use the oil as there are benefits! For example, if you place a just a few drops in an aromatherapy diffuse, you will kill 70 percent of staphylococcus bacteria in a room. In addition, researchers in India found eucalyptus to be effective against several strains of E. coli.  All of this is due to eucalyptus oil being anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, decongestant, deodorant, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, expectorant, febrifuge, vermifuge, immune-stimulant, antibiotic, diuretic, analgesic, and cephalic (aids concentration). How many essential oils (or over the counter medicines for that matter) can both cool the body in summer and protect the body in winter? This is why Eurospa is so dedicated to making the finest eucalyptus oil product available to you for both home and spa.

Here are 6 ways Eucalyptus oil can benefit your body’s health today!

Wounds and infections – Eucalyptus is a traditional treatment for malaria. (The trees are planted in swamps in North Africa to prevent the spread of malaria as well.) It is effective against other insects’ bites and stings as well. Its germicidal properties provide antiseptic protection to wounds, burns, cuts, abrasions, and ulcers. It promotes healing in slow healing wounds, helping new tissue form where needed. Eucalyptus has a history of effective use against childhood illnesses and infections such as cholera, measles, scarlet fever, mumps, tuberculosis, and typhoid. Combine with chamomile and lavender in baths for chicken pox. Also useful against UTIs and candida, herpes simplex virus, and shingles blisters. Add eucalyptus oil to a cold compress to help bring down fever. It tonifies the thymus gland, boosting immunity.

Pain Relief – Eucalyptus is effective against muscle and joint pain. From migraines to rheumatism, lumbago to sprained ligaments and tendons, and fibrositis to general aches and pains; eucalyptus is an effective, local pain killer. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory nature can even relieve nerve pain. Massage the oil in a circular motion on the affected area.

Manage disease – Eucalyptus oil is effective at lowering blood sugar (diabetes) and relieving pain (fibromyalgia). It is one of several essential oils found to have comparable action to traditional antibiotics against disease-causing hospital pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureusStreptococcus C and D, various species of ProteusKlebsiella spp., Salmonella typhi, Haemophilus influenza, and more.

Mental stimulant – Most ill people are down – depressed, experience brain fog and are fatigued. Eucalyptus stimulates the mind, aids concentration, and relieves mental exhaustion. It has a cooling effect upon strong emotions, rejuvenating the spirit and relieving stress. It leaves you refreshed and more balanced. Effective treatment for convalescence. A combination of eucalyptus and peppermint applied topically to forehead and temples was shown in a double blind study to relieve headaches better than acetaminophen and aspirin. It was found to increase intellectual capacities and logical thought processes.

Personal hygiene – Eucalyptus benefits skin, hair, and teeth. From acne and blemishes to dandruff, sunburn to repelling insects, eucalyptus has many uses in the personal care area. It is useful against cavities, gingivitis, and other dental infections as well.

Household uses – Add eucalyptus to homemade soaps. It is often found in toothpastes, detergents, and mouthwash. Use it for pet care, such as a flea deterrent for dogs. Add eucalyptus oil to saunas, spas, and bathtubs to disinfect and refresh. Use to disinfect and deodorize rooms. Remove tar from clothes or skin harmlessly with this oil as well. (naturalnews.com)
