Eucalyptus Shower bunch

Hanging a bundle of eucalyptus in your shower not only looks beautiful but it has a number of surprising health benefits as well!

It smells amazing and also helps to relieve a whole host of respiratory problems.  Its anti-inflammatory properties help open up the nose and throat and alleviate allergy and asthma symptoms.

So what does hanging it in your shower do? The steam actually releases the essential oils within the plant that can help clear congestion and inflammation. To reap the most benefits, slowly breath in the steam for about five minutes, which should be enough time to break up the mucus in your body. And even if you're not sick, the scent of eucalyptus is seriously de-stressing.
