A steaming hot shower can really do wonders for an aching, stuffed up head and body. Make showertime even more soothing with this easy trick. By adding a bunch of eucalyptus to your shower, you can effectively unclog your sinuses and make your head cold feel a lot less severe.
DIY-ers and home remedy fanatics have been using eucalyptus in the shower for years. The minty, menthol scent, activated by the hot steam from your shower, helps you breathe better and sink into utter relaxation.
Inhaling the essential oils packed into eucalyptus branches has been proven to relieve (read: not treat) sore throats, coughs, headaches, and symptoms of seasonal allergies. Think of it like an all-natural Vicks VapoRub. And it’s incredibly easy to get your hands on.
Head to your local florist and request a bundle of eucalyptus. You won’t need too many sprigs — one or two branches will work just fine. Tie the sprigs together using string or a rubber band, and then drape them over your shower head. When you turn the shower on, the steam will activate the essential oils and fill your shower with a pleasant aroma that will calm all your senses.
(And it certainly doesn’t hurt that eucalyptus looks incredibly beautiful. You’ll feel like you’re showering in a rainforest.)
A life free from congestion is just a shower away. Pick up a bundle of eucalyptus to see what the menthol magic can do for you.
