Here’s the Secret to Naturally Healthy, Vibrant Hair!

Whether you’ve suffered a bad cut or are just ready to have more flowing locks, it’s common to want long healthy hair as fast as possible! While there are no guaranteed paths to hair perfection, there are some tried and true home remedies that help move the job along. Keep in mind that if your hair is breaking, thinning or growing slower than average, other factors may be contributing to the process such as the weather, your age, what foods you eat, living habits and general overall health.

That being said, there are still many natural ways to hurry along hair growth that are easy and great for your health!

Use a mask: A lot of people believe that this tip concerning how to make your hair grow faster doesn't work well, but egg whites have been known for their healing properties and their ability to replenish hair and restore its softness and shine! Just crack open a few eggs, strain out the yolks, and make an egg white mask for your hair. Your hair will look ten times healthier instantly and will feel a lot stronger as well -- which, ultimately, will allow your hair to grow faster!

Eat and drink well: Eat a diet high in Omega 3, 6 and 9 nutrients for not only healthy hair but also for better brain function, healthy bones and ligaments. This means your joints, your mind, teeth and nails benefit too! Find omegas in flax seed, salmon and in supplement form at any natural grocer. Water helps the body to process and flush out toxins faster, which makes it a quick and easy natural method that will make your hair grow a lot faster. If you drink about 8 cups of water a day, not only will your body feel better, but your hair will get stronger. The stronger the hair, the faster that it grows. Drinking water also keeps your hair hydrated from the inside out. Hydrated hair is happy hair because, when dry, your hair is much more likely to break.

Stay away from heat! Try to stay away from blow dryers and heated tools, as they burn the hair. If you MUST use them, be sure to use a heat protecting spray or cream first, before styling. Keep in mind that the sun damages hair as well. In warm weather, or intense sunlight (even in the snow) keep a hat on to protect your hair from over drying and burning. Like pulling it back? Spend the next 2 months with your hair tied back to give it a damage break!

Boost circulation: Get into a sauna, steam room or even your shower, one to two times a week and spray eucalyptus oil shower spray near your head, about arms length away; never onto the head directly. The circulation promoting plant oils will penetrate through your open pores, waking up the follicles. Add to this a gentle scalp massage and you'll have one happy head!

Of course, in addition to all this, be sure to get your hair trimmed regularly so it has a chance to grow and be healthy without putting its energy into dead pieces. And of course, use only the best products along the way, including the use of essential oils.

6 Benefits of Saunas & Steam Rooms Your Health Can’t Afford To Miss!

Many people are talking about spa weekends and nightly sauna sessions and it’s not just because they’re wanting elegant relaxation. You might be surprised to know that people all over the world are enjoying saunas for anti-aging, pain relief, immune boosting and yes, relaxation. In addition to that, everyone is doing it; not just the wealthy but families are doing it in their homes and in bath houses as well. 

Now, in the states, we don’t have bath-houses in as much abundance as those in Europe, but we can create them. Isn’t that great? At Eurospa, we design our products, like our Eucalyptus Oil Spray, to enhance your steam room and sauna experience. We believe your health and wellness should be a top priority, because you deserve to have a healthy and vibrant life.

But let's talk about the benefits you don’t want to miss out on!

To begin with, heat therapy helps to relieve stress and improve health overall. Perspiration stimulates circulation, soothes tired muscles, reduces nervous tension, and promotes healthier and more beautiful skin. You’ll probably get a better night’s sleep, too.

Here are some other benefits to sauna bathing:

• Gives a cardiovascular workout and helps condition the heart by increasing heart rate and improving circulation. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process.
• Soothes and relaxes tired muscles, especially before and after exercise. Heat therapy loosens the muscles and relaxes the body. Many massage therapists use heat to provide more thorough and effective treatment.
• Cleanses skin: Sweating opens pores in the skin and flushes unhealthy toxins, loosens and expels dead cells, softens the skin and clears the complexion. The result: a more beautiful you.
• The body eliminates most toxins naturally by sweating and heat therapy speeds up this natural process. Heat therapy stimulates the sweat glands, helping to cleanse and detoxify the body of sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel). Excess moisture and subcutaneous fat can be reduced, as well.
• May help to relieve allergies and sinus congestion.
• During a 10-20 minute sauna session, your heart rate increases by 50-75%. This provides the same metabolic result as physical exercise. Combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, sauna bathing can burn as many as 300 calories during each session, which is equal to running 2-3 miles and taking a brisk walk. There is a slight effect on blood pressure because the heat also causes blood vessels to expand, thus accommodating increased blood flow.

We want you to have access to vital health and well being. Added to a healthy diet, movement and proper sleep, heat and aromatherapy can work miracles. To find out more information, we invite you to stop by and see what further products and services we have to offer. Have a beautiful day!

Aging Too Quickly? Get Some Glow Back in a Week With These Tips!!

You don't have to just accept your tired eyes. Rejuvenate them naturally!

It’s hard to wake up in the morning and see signs of aging and tiredness all over the face. As a society, we move too fast, eat too little nutrients, are overworked, underslept and dehydrated. Our faces and skin show it. But it can be dealt with and treated with these simple tricks and tips.

Lemon Water Cleanse: On a more practical note, 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 to taste 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. Start your day alkaline. (side note: remember how lemon water cleanses the digestive system? the kidneys are part of that.  You know those bags and dark circles under your eyes?  Those are from overwhelmed kidneys.)

Face Massage: About those overwhelmed kidneys and their corresponding eye bags.  When the kidneys and even liver are over taxed, the lymph in the eyes begin to back up. Basically, the bags are just toxic congestion that needs to move through and out of your system. So if you're ready to get rid of them, definitely drink the lemon water and THEN do this exercise.

• Close your eyes.  Place your first four fingers (not the thumb) under the eye and gently apply pressure with your finger-tips along and under the eye/eye bag area.
• take your middle fingers and gently sweep the same area from the inside to the outer corner underneath the eye - be careful not to stretch the skin.
• Repeat this action 5-10 times when applying moisturizer morning and night. this will aid in keeping the area flushed.

Steam With Eucalyptus: Eucalyptus Shower Spray 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. As well, inhaling the the steam will invite the herbal strength to cleanse your bronchial passages, allowing for a full body cleanse that will reflect in your skin.  

Drink Your 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 the 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 insides and outsides.  This results in eyes that are brighter, skin that is tighter and cheeks that have that natural rosy hue. Who doesn't want that? (don't be too afraid - there are PLENTY of delicious recipes online for incredibly tasting juice!)

Now that you know how to turn back time in the healthiest ways possible, it's time to get on your way putting them into practice.  At Eurospa, your health is our focus. If there's something we can do for you, please let us know!

How to Find Relief from the Symptoms of Menopause Naturally

One minute your feel like a normal woman, and the next moment you’re riding the waves of mood swings, body changes, hot flashes and fatigue. It feels like a roller coaster stuck on the loops! You deserve some easy and natural ways to ease those symptoms so you don’t have to stop living your life.

Here are our tips on finding relief from menopause both naturally, and at home:

Tip #1

The best medicine is preventative and the most preventative medicine is found in the  food that you eat. You should strive to eat a balance of good fats, complex carbohydrates and protein. Also, make sure to have plenty of fruits and vegetables at every meal, including breakfast. It’s best to eat three meals a day and two or more snacks in order to keep your blood sugar stable. The most important thing to remember is to reduce carbohydrates especially refined carbohydrates and sugars.

Tip #2

Supplement with herbs. Herbs are miraculous because they share a similar molecular structure to our hormones, allowing them to support our hormone production by slowing them down or even copying what our own hormones do depending on the body’s unique needs. Some herbs that can help reduce menopause symptoms include st. john’s wort, black cohosh, passionflower, chasteberry, wild yam and ashwagandha.

Tip #3

Be active. Because of your fluctuating estrogen levels, your body will tend to hold on to fat. Additionally, fat actually produces estrogen, which can create even more fat. So it’s easy to get stuck in a frustrating cycle if you’re not active. Moving your body has a major impact on your weight, other menopausal symptoms and your overall health. Gentle exercise can be helpful too, especially if your adrenal glands are overworked and you constantly feel fatigued. Movement is also medicine so find a movement you enjoy and be consistent!

Tip #4

Keep the hot flashes at bay. Those up and down hormones cause you to feel out of nowhere, so be prepared! Be sure to drink a lot of water so the heat doesn’t tax your system. Also be sure to stock up on a eucalyptus shower mist, that you can either spray into the steam of the shower to invigorate you, or for you to spray around you as the hot flashes hit. Eucalyptus is cooling and calming; the perfect helper to this crazy season.

Tip #5

Be nurturing to yourself. The physical effects of stress make nurturing self-care especially important. One of the most effective, inexpensive and amazingly simple ways to reduce stress is deep breathing. Think how easy just taking a deep breath several times a day is. Know how much sleep you need, and respect that. Go to bed early or sleep in if you can. Get massages. Get facials. Your skin is likely to break out more often with the hormonal changes and it feels good to maintain your glow.

When women make natural adjustments to their lifestyles, not only do they feel much better but also feel in control of their menopause symptoms. Eurospa is happy to support you on the journey. Please be sure to to find out more about our high quality products for spa and home.

Discover the Powerful Health Benefits of Menthol Crystals in the Comfort of Your Home!

What if you could easily relieve the symptoms of bronchial congestion and muscle tension alike, in a natural and easy way, right in your own home? You’d likely think I was lying to you, but mostly - you’d want to know more.

Why? Because nobody likes to be plagued by ailments that slow us down and cause us to live life on a ‘lesser than’ level. The 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 just easily ignore. Even the best medicines tend to only help on a temporary basis.  And when that help is over, you are left still needing to breathe, right? The beauty of this is that menthol crystals are a remedy you can use at home, that will provide symptomatic relief because the menthol reduces bronchial constriction and airway hyper responsiveness.

Menthol likely sounds familiar to you as the plant essence 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 and minty odor and taste. Menthol crystals are produced by rapidly cooling the essential oil of eucalyptus and peppermint. They are very concentrated and if used properly, are very beneficial when used for lung cleansing in small amounts.

Menthol Crystals for Cough and Congestion Support

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 aren't just available in small amounts for you to use in the comfort of your home, they can be used in industrial amounts in spa's as well. So wether you are the owner of a spa, we would love to enhance the benefits your clientele enjoy's 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!

Your health and the health of your clients are our top priority.  At Eurospa, we promise top quality in all of our eucalyptus oil based products. We can't wait to hear from you, put in your order today!

The Truth About Standards Relating to Eucalyptus Oil. How to Buy Your Oil with Confidence

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 good reason! They have shown to efficiently support the body in it's ability to heal itself when they're quality meets the right standard. But what standard is that exactly? 

There are many essential oils out there and many of the ones used are of lesser quality than is safe. Let's talk about the grades for a moment. 

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 for food flavorings in snacks, dressings, chewing gum and things like that. In order to meet food grades standards, the 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.

Most eucalyptus oils on the market today claim a classification of therapeutic. Unfortunately this is not a standard at all, but just marketing hype. Any eucalyptus oil can claim to be therapeutic grade, and no one can prove them wrong. Many of the oils that claim to be therapeutic have great aroma and healing properties. But the use of the term "therapeutic" will not help you in selecting your eucalyptus 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 eucalyptus oil is pharmaceutical grade. While there are several organizations who provide this standard, most of the standards are derived from the British Pharmacopia standards. There are not many essential oil providers out there that can honestly claim to have met that standard.  

If you would like to read more about pharaceutical grade eucalyptus oil, please check out this article in eucalyptusoil.com  

At Eurospa, we specifically only use and source the highest, pharmaceutical grade of Eucalyptus oil. While this standard provide a high degree of certainty that the oil will have a great aroma, the most pleasant eucalyptus oil aroma is selected by expert perfumers experienced with essential oils and organic chemistry. The aroma of our eucalyptus oil must be amazing and consistently pleasing to our largest customers, major 5 star resort hotels and luxury spa steam rooms. You can be certain that product you receive from Eurospa will always have that woodsy, scintillating scent.
Eucalyptus oil is made up of over 100 compounds, each compound containing a piece of the plants DNA and immune system. The less an oil is distilled, the more crude it is considered, and the more of it's compounds it still contains. Oils that do not claim pharmaceutical grade are typically distilled just one time, which leaves compounds in the oil that are either reducing the quality of the product or at least reducing 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.

Eurospa 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 enough to be used in antiseptics, muscle and bone pain, cough remedies, natural cleaning, air purification, surface sanitizing and cleansing. For home applications such as skin care, you may want to dilute Eurospa oils with other oils or products typically used for diluting essential oils. 

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) in order to lower the cost.

Our Eucalyptus Oil Shower Spray, available in many local steam rooms or spas, and on Amazon, meets these same standards. You spray it into the steam and are not only invigorated and muscles relaxed, but your entire respiratory system is cleansed and strengthened; great news for sinusitis and asthma sufferers! 

The safety of what you put on and in your body is very important - which is why we felt it necessary to let you in on the facts. 

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. Health quality is our main priority.  Unlike Eucalyptus Oils common in our industry, EuroSpa’s blends do not contain any industrial solvents, isopropyl alcohol, or water. We look forward to hearing from you in the comments below.

Why One Mom Is OBSESSED With Spraying Eucalyptus Oil In Her Shower:

We know our eucalyptus oil shower spray 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 anxious 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!

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 aureus, Streptococcus C and D, various species of Proteus, Klebsiella 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)

Benefits of Eucalyptus Oil

Arterial Vasodilator

Eucalyptus will help dilate the circulatory system, increasing circulation. Use 1 drop during massage over any area of concern.

Asthma
During an asthma attack, massage 1-2 drops over the chest. Also, inhale the aroma directly or diffuse in the air.

Brain Blood Flow
Diffuse or spray the mist throughout the home or classroom to increase circulation to the brain.

Bronchitis
Use topically or aromatically, massaging into the chest, back and throat, inhaling from the bottle, or dropping the oil on the shirt collar.

Congestion
Eucalyptus oil uses included clearly congestion from the airways. I recommend inhaling for nasal congestion and massaging the oil over all other affected areas.

Cooling
Yes, eucalyptus oil uses even include cooling the body down. Place several drops in a spray bottle, along with peppermint oil if you'd like some extra oomph, and spritz over the body. 

Coughs
Diffuse or spray throughout the room throughout the span of the illness, but also massage into the reflex points of the feet (follow the application guidelines in the link above), as well as over the chest, back, and throat. *Be sure to add the shower mist spray to a hot shower, bath or steam room, as this will quickly break through congestion and mucous for faster relief of respiratory conditions.

Diabetes
Because of the vasodilation mention above, using eucalyptus on a daily basis can increase circulation, a common issue for diabetics. I recommend massaging it into the body with lotion after each shower, as the massage will also help increase circulation.

Disinfectant
Its antiviral and antibacterial properties naturally make cleaning among one of the eucalyptus oil uses. Follow this household cleaners guide for more information.

Dysentery
Massage 2 drops of eucalyptus over the abdomen in a counter-clockwise direction to ease diarrhea, inflammation, and fight infection.

Ear Inflammation
Never put essential oil IN the ear canal! However, you can massage the oil on and around the outer ear. Use only 1 drop to start, diluted for children.

Emphysema
Eucalyptus oil uses are wonderful for all manner of respiratory disease. Diffuse or spray your personal sized mist the oil daily, massage 1 drop over the chest at least once a day, and another drop into the reflex points of the feet.

Expectorant

To help drain mucus from the lungs, massage 1 drop into the reflex points of the feet and apply another drop over the chest at least once a day (I'd personally do three times a day if no sensitivity is found).

Fever
Because eucalyptus oil uses include cooling the body (above), using during a high fever can help the body regulate its temperature and support its efforts in fighting infection.

Flu
Depending on your flu symptoms, eucalyptus oil uses will vary. You can apply to the abdomen to ease diarrhea, massage into aching joints and muscles, or simply diffuse through the air to fight infection.

Hypoglycemia
Another of eucalyptus oil uses, you can help regulate your blood sugar by massaging 1-2 drops into the soles of the feet daily.

Inflammation
Massage 1-2 drops over the afflicted area, always moving toward the heart to support the lymphatic system.

Iris Inflammation
This recommend comes from Modern Essentials (mentioned below). While you should never put essential oils IN the eyes, massaging into the temples may support the irises.

Jet Lag
Eucalyptus oil uses include waking up the body with its slightly sweet, fruity, and uplifting aroma. Use topically or aromatically.

Kidney Stones
Massage 1-2 drops of the oil over the afflicted area up to three times a day.

Lice
Its natural insecticidal properties make this among one of the more surprising of eucalyptus oil uses. Read more about treating lice naturally here.

Measles
Diffuse  and spray your mist throughout the home for the length of the illness, and massage 1-2 drops into the reflex points of the feet 2-3 times a day.

Neuralgia
Another of the little-known eucalyptus oil uses, massaging into the areas of concern daily can reduce pain.

Neuritis
Along with neuralgia, massage several drops into the reflex points of the feet and over the affected areas can reduce inflammation.

Overexercised Muscles
Strain, fatigue, etc can all be treated with a gentle massage of eucalyptus oil. Always massage toward the heart to move the lactic acid buildup through the lymphatic system.

Pain
Depending on the type of pain, eucalyptus oil uses may necessitate application to the reflex points of the feet or directly over the area of concern.

Pneumonia
Help the lungs to clear by diffusing constantly and massaging directly over the lungs. Use the shower mist as often as possible.  It will also help to massage eucalyptus into the reflex points of the hands and feet. 

Rhinitis

Reduce inflammation and open airways by inhaling directly from the bottle, massaging one drop over the sinuses, or applying as a hot compress.

Shingles
Eucalyptus oil uses include shingles for its antiviral properties, as well as its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Massage into the affected areas daily, add to a warm bath, or use a hot compress over the area.

Sinusitis
Apply as a hot compress over the sinuses and massage 1-2 drops into the reflex points of the feet (toes and pads of the feet). You can also inhale directly or diffuse throughout the room.

Tennis Elbow
I highly recommend finding a massage therapist who specializes in treating tennis elbow and bringing along your eucalyptus to include in the deep massage of the area.

Tuberculosis
Eucalyptus oil uses include fighting the bacterial infection, clearly the lungs, reducing inflammation and more. Diffuse constantly and massage 2 drops into the chest and over the back.
