Happy Halloween! How to Protect Your Health From the Sugar Shock!

Halloween is here and there's about to be a lot of sugar consumed!  You need to protect your health from the sugar shock! Of course, we all know it's fun to go crazy with the treats, but it's important to find the healthy balance ahead of time to make sure you don't go through with-drawls for the next week. 

These tips are great for preventative and treatment for both kids and adults. So, read on and get ready!

KEEP HYDRATED
I can't say it enough.  Any ache, pain, ailment.....  always reach for water first! When we eat too much sugar, our muscles hold onto it like caramel in the fibers. These caramel coatings absorb extra water as a muscular protection; this creates a dehydrated atmosphere. If you are drinking alcohol or coffee as well, you will be adding to additional dehydration.  So, stay sober and healthy or add tons of water to the mix to both flush toxins and keep the body hydrated. 

EAT GREENS
Sugar robs the body of minerals, that can cause dizziness, fatigue and bloating. Eating dark green leafy vegetables, juices and smoothies, brings a mineral balance back to the body, helping you feel alive and fresh again. 

TWIST IT: 
Just like wringing out a wet towel of it's moisture, twisting your body can aid in releasing toxins stored in your intestines or stomach lining.  It's very simple.  You just sit down on the floor with your back straight up and your legs outstretched, together in front of you.  Now, bend and pull your left leg up and place your foot on the floor, with your knee standing up and your foot touching your inner right thigh.  Now take a deep breath, and as you exhale, slowly turn your body to the left as far as you can go, exhaling all the air out.  Then, as you twist back to center, inhale gently.  Switch legs and repeat this process on the other side.  Keep doing this if you can for 3-5 repetitions and then lay flat on your back and relax.  Your belly will thank you. 

ESSENTIAL OILS: 
There are a few ways to ease your stomach ache with essential oils.  One, is to place a couple drops of peppermint oil or tincture into your glass of water. (It's important to remember that you should aim to stay hydrated during this time anyway.  While that may not sound appealing, the peppermint will help ease that distaste.) Next, it's good to have a bottle of Eucalyptus Oil Shower Mist on hand anyway, for many reasons!  One being that you can add it to the steam of the above suggested bath for internal relaxation and refreshment; great for internal spasms! Another use being that you can grab a little caster oil, mixed with a little coconut oil and rub that gently on your abdomen.  Then spray the eucalyptus onto your belly and rub in a clockwise motion.  The oils will carry the anti microbial and anti-spasmatic power of the eucalyptus into your body and allow them to work their healing magic.  

Nobody wants sugar to put a damper on their summer fun, but if you end up with the aches and pains, it's comforting to know that there are options out there that are natural and efficient in bringing healing and relief.

Have Brighter Eyes And Glowing Skin In Just 10 Days With these Easy Tricks!

We all know that feeling of despair when we see our face in the mirror and

we wonder if we aged overnight. What if I told you your face could look more fresh, younger and brighter in less than two weeks?  It's not rocket science; it's health and it's simple. You can have brighter eyes and glowing skin again... read on!

Gratitude
Let's start with gratitude.  Similar to the above point about looking at yourself in the mirror with love and appreciation, gratitude is a very complimenting look to a person's face.  When a person is in gratitude for their life, growth and blessings, despite hardship, there is an unmatchable glow that overtakes their face. Gratitude gets you into a space of loving yourself, your family, life and even potential possibilities, not to mention allows you to be aware of further opportunities before you.  What does that lead to? Joy. Gratitude is the mother of joy.  Nurture gratitude and the joy on your face will be beaming. 

Lemon Water

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 eye.  place four finders (except the thumb) under the eye and gently apply pressure with the finger tips along the under 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. 

Eucalyptus Steam 
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.  

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 in to practice.  At Eurospa, your health is our focus. If there's something we can do for you, please let us know!

Hurry Along Hair Growth With These Easy Beauty Tips:

Having long hair, for many, is a sign of health, beauty and even elegance. Many people, both men and women alike, would love some surefire ways to have long and lustrous locks. Did you know that there's no fool-proof scientific method prove to accelerate or stimulate hair growth? This is a result of the many varying factors that contribute to the process, such as the weather, your age, what foods you eat, living habits and general overall health.  

With that being said though, there are still things you can do to hurry along hair growth and we are going to share with your our favorite beauty tips to do so!

1. Trim your hair 1/4 inch every 6-8 weeks.  It will clean the damaged ends off, allowing the shaft to continue growing out rather than in many damaged directions. 

2. Hot Oil Massages. Just heat up a hot oil treatment, rub it into your scalp, wait a little while, and you'll see the difference -- your hair will feel thicker, softer, and longer! While you can always use a store-bought treatment, homemade hot oil treatments work just as well. Jojoba oil, coconut oil, olive oils, and most other oils you like will do wonders; just heat it up and apply thoroughly.

3. Egg White 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!

4. Drink More Water. 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.

5. Be Wise While Brushing Your Hair. I'm not saying over brush your hair though. We aren't Marcia Brady who brushed her blond hair 100 times every night. Brushing the hair once or twice in the morning and once or twice at night will stimulate the circulation in your scalp, feeding the hair follicles and ensuring undisturbed hair growth. However, when your hair is wet, never brush it. That causes severe breakage, which ultimately stunts hair growth. Use a comb instead -- wide-toothed combs are fine, especially if you experience tangles.

6. Protect Your Tresses. It's old news, but heat damages hair! 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 creme 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.

7. Eat Healthy Protein. Did you know that what you eat actually makes a difference in how fast your hair grows? If you eat a lot of protein-rich foods, you will see a huge difference in the quality of your hair, as well as the speed with which it grows. Things like fish, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, and even different meats all make a difference, so cut down on junk food and focus on heal meals.

8. Use Eucalyptus. Of course, right? 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! You can also make a topical essential oil blend. I suggest mixing three drops of lavender oil, three drops of rosemary oil, and two drops each of thyme oil and cedarwood oil, along with some jojoba oil. All of this should go right onto your head and, I promise, the mixture will enhance your hair and make it grow that much faster!

Naturally Moisturizing Home Remedies for Dry Winter Skin!

Just as we need protection, our skin needs care as well. The kind of care that our skin needs is determined by the type of skin we have. There are four types of skin-normal, oily, dry and sensitive and each type of skin has its own complications. Having a dry skin means experiencing tightness due to lack of moisture and a need for a proper lubricant to rehydrate it. Many home remedies can help improve your dry flaky skin on face.

   Moisturize

Moisture forms a protective layer on the skin keeping it safe by keeping it hydrated. Oils that are easily absorbed by the skin, such as coconut, jojoba and almond, tend to be better at keeping the real moisture in, allowing the skin the best nourishment possible. Coconut oil makes the skin feel softer and removes its previous scaly characteristic by moistening it in a natural way. Coconut oil has sufficient amounts of fatty acid that make up for any loss of moisture from the skin. It works best when left on for an entire night. Apply proper amount before going to sleep and wash it off in the morning; do this every night.Over the counter creams work well in the beginning but only leave a surface layer of hydration.  

Use a Humidifier

Winter is not a friend to dry skin. The heating in homes evaporate the water from the air, which makes the air very dry. Humidifiers come in useful at a time like this by adding moisture to the air, and thus benefiting your dry skin. Either humidify the whole room or get a portable humidifier. We definitely recommend adding a few sprays of our eucalyptus oil shower spray to the room to enhance the health and wellness benefits. Eucalyptus in the air will not only open up the bronchial passages for better respiratory health and to cleanse the skin!

Exfoliate

An exfoliating scrub made by concocting lemon juice and sugar leaves your skin soft and glowing. With a circular massage of the skin with this beauty scrub, rough spots on the face become even. The vitamins C in the lemons is a good astringent that lightens the skin tone, removes patches on the skin and encourages cell growth. Mix a teaspoon of sugar and mix it with juice of half a lemon, use cotton balls to scrub all over the face. Put a jar of it on your nightstand and apply it regularly.

What Happened at ISPA Won't Stay at ISPA

Take Eucalyptus Steam Room Experience Home to the Shower

SPA Show in Las Vegas creates huge excitement for EuroSpa 100% pure eucalyptus oil!

Overwhelming response! No show like this ever before! So glad we came!!

We’ve advertised in industry trade publications. We’ve sent letters. We’ve made phone calls. We’ve even sent unsolicited samples. For some products, you just need to touch, feel, and in this case smell the product.

EuroSpa Aromatics has been in the business of turning regular old steam rooms into luxurious Eucalyptus Oil infused steam rooms for over 30 years. Many of the finest spas, hotels, athletic clubs and private residences have installed our Mystifier Automatic Eucalyptus Oil injection system (see it in the right column) into the closet with their steam generator to provide their clients with the perfect steam room experience. Some have even changed the name of their steam room to eucalyptus room or eucalyptus steam room.

In truth, however, fewer than 1000 are set up this way. Apparently the numbers are going to increase exponentially.

At the show, we merely asked the visitors to our booth to take a simple test. We said that the test would be life changing. We sprayed a bit of 100% pure eucalyptus oil into their upturned palms. We then asked them to rub their hands together vigorously to create some heat, simulating a steam room. Finally, we suggested they raise their palms to their nose and breath in the now hot eucalyptus oil, and experience one of nature’s most health producing essential oils.

"Exhilarating! You were right, life changing! WOW! I feel healthier already! Show my boss! That is amazing!"

Those were the comments we got over and over again from spa owners, managers, and consultants.

Then there was the educational part. Few understood how important it is to use 100% pure eucalyptus rather than “watered down” versions that include carriers, alcohol or other chemicals designed to reduce the cost per gallon, but also reduce effectiveness. 

Why Use 100% pure eucalyptus oil in the steam room?

✓    Better for your guest
✓    Better for the pump
✓    Better for reducing mold and mildew
✓    Better for your budget

Like so many diluted products, you have to use way more to get the benefit. Our clients find that when they use pure oil, their actual costs go down. They use less and get greater benefit.

Eucalyptus Oil is a known anti-fungal, anti-mildew and anti-mold agent. One visitor after another to our booth said that “even though we inject eucalyptus into our steam room, we still have the dirty sock smell.” In every single case they were using an inferior grade of eucalyptus oil. Our clients will be happy to tell you that they have dramatically reduced frequency of the deep cleaning in their steam rooms once they use our pure oil in their injection system.  Hence, the grout and tile last longer, helping to reduce costs.

The health benefits of eucalyptus oil for respiratory issues, muscle inflammation, athlete’s foot, and other maladies are well known. Elsewhere on this blog, you can find many articles and studies named regarding these aromatic effects. Obviously a pure oil is going to be more beneficial than one that has been diluted with chemicals.

Why use 100% pure eucalyptus oil at home?

The new retail products we offer provide your guests with an opportunity to experience the Eucalyptus Oil steam room effect in their own home shower or over their sink. Cheap eucalyptus oils commonly do not offer the same aroma as the one we provide. Every batch of our oil must be tested for the perfect EuroSpa aroma.

Most of your clients are very particular when it comes to the use of chemicals or distillates. You can provide them the EuroSpa ShowerMist with complete confidence that the product has not been adulterated with any such substance.

Shocked by the free display offer and the huge retail margins

There was almost universal acceptance of the idea that adding Eucalyptus Oil to the steam room would be a very good idea. Similarly, almost everyone who came to our booth seemed to think that their guests would be very interested in taking home a bottle of Eucalyptus Oil shower spray. 

Then we dropped the bombshell, and the surprised looks on our visitor’s faces was worth the trip to Vegas! Margins are fantastic!!  An 8 oz bottle sells for $29.95.  Call us for your cost.

Everyone loved our simple wooden display stand. And another smile graced many lips when we offered to send the display free with a purchase of just 24 units of the product. And this 24 piece order can be a mix of our 100% Eucalyptus Oil, Mentholyptus, and the amazing Menthol Crystals. The total cost to get into business on this hot seller with amazing margins?  Under $300.00!

Now what is a spa owner or manager to do?
Call or email for a price list or to place an order:Toll free: (800) 395-6478
adm@eurospachemicals.com

We suggest you get our Mystifier automatic injection system for just $750, a five gallon pail of Pure Eucalyptus Oil (our Suprema) for just $400.10, and a starter retail kit for under $300.  Then you can consider changing the name of your steam room to the Eucalyptus Experience!

AND...if you are a spa owner or manager and you missed the opportunity to test our product at ISPA, we will be more than happy to send you a 2 oz sample spray mist bottle. Just call 800-395-6478 to request your free sample.

How to Heal Face Blemishes Naturally at Home Without Chemicals!

Nobody likes to wake up and discover a blemish (or field of blemishes) on their face. And when the unsightly curse does occur, you need a way to get rid of it FAST. 

Below, we are going to leave you with our favorite tips on how to heal face blemishes naturally from home, but without all the harsh and toxic chemicals.

Topical treatments

• Tea tree oil. Gels containing 5 percent tea tree oil may be as effective as are lotions containing 5 percent benzoyl peroxide, although tea tree oil might work more slowly. Tea tree oil may cause a skin reaction known as contact dermatitis. There's also some concern that topical products containing tea tree oil might cause breast development in young boys. Don't use tea tree oil if you have acne rosacea because it can worsen symptoms.
• Alpha hydroxy acids. To put it plainly; lemons and other citrus foods help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores when applied topically. Simply get a used lemon and gently rub what's left on your face and let the alpha hydroxy acids go to work. Alpha hydroxy acids may also improve the appearance of acne scars. They can also cause redness, mild stinging and skin irritation.
• Hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria due to its oxygen molecules-- the oxygen creates oxidation, which breaks down harmful bacteria. Just cleanse well and rest a cotton ball of H2O2 on the pimple first thing in the morning and before you go to bed. 
  
• Eucalyptus oil. Because of it's antibacterial and analgesic properties, this essential oil is - essential to keeping your skin healthy. The best way is not to put it directly on the blemish, as it's too potent. Rather, spritz some eucalyptus oil shower spray into the steam of your shower or into a steaming pot for your face!  An added benefit is the cleansing your sinuses and respiratory system will experience. 

Oral treatments

• Zinc supplements. Zinc plays a role in wound healing and reduces inflammation, which could help improve acne. Taking a zinc supplement with food may reduce side effects, including a bad taste in your mouth and nausea. Zinc can also be added to lotions or creams and may reduce acne breakouts.
• Brewer's yeast. A specific strain of brewer's yeast, called CBS 5926, seems to help decrease acne. Brewer's yeast may cause migraines in susceptible people and may cause intestinal upset.
• Lemon cayenne tea. Get 1/2 a lemon and squeeze the juice into a mug of warm or hot water. Add 1/2 tsp of cayenne and sweeteners such as honey, agave or stevia to bring your tea to a balance of sweet, sour and spicy. This will work your circulatory system and further your detoxification from the inside out. 
• Probiotics.  Invest in an internal probiotic supplement. Every gut needs a healthy balance of bacterias and most people are lacking in the beneficial bacteria.  A healthy gut leads to healthy skin!

Find Relief from Anxiety at Home Fast and Naturally!

Anxiety is a problem that plagues a majority of the population but that doesn't mean it should stay.
Prescription medications can have damaging side affects and aren't always effective.  What you need are a few easy ways to find relief from your anxiety at home fast and naturally.  You deserve it.

Worst Case Scenario
Many times we get anxious because we are seeing a dramatized version of reality.  We fear the worst. So imagine the worst case scenario, in all of it's fright and think of what you would do. It's likely that in the worst realistic scenario, you are still fed, still have a place to sleep (even if it's a friend's couch) and even the friend who let you use it.  This leads me to the next point...

Gratitude
Yes, this word is thrown around like a trend, but the truth is, it's vital.  Be thankful for those friends that are there for you no matter what, even if you can think of just one. Be thankful for every bite of food, for every smile you encounter, for every breath you take effortlessly....  Rest in that gratitude and then DO something with it.

Get Activated
You've imagined the worst, found gratitude for what really is, and now it's time to be activated. Breathe deeply.  Get the oxygen flowing to all corners of your brain; that's when it functions the best. Get outside and touch nature. Breathe deep.  Run. Stretch. Dance. Laugh. Find what feels good and do LOTS of it.

Feel Good
Do things that make you feel good. It's not narcissistic and selfish; it's pure self love. How can you give to others if you are empty? Pamper yourself.  Of course, we recommend our Eucalyptus Oil Shower Mist for a day at the spa, or just for a relaxation night at home.  Turn off the TV and social media and just rest.  Find a book.  Journal.  Draw. Close your eyes and see all the beauty unfolding in your life.

Pass It On
The best way to keep your newly re-activated positive mood is to pass it on to others. This time, you be the one to share a smile or encouraging word. The moment you feel better, be contagious about it! You'll be amazed to see how much your own sense of peace grows and gets stronger!

Your inner health is as important as your outer health.  At Eurospa, we are committed to quality in our products that allow you the possibility for both. So, today, let the stress go and take care of yourself. You matter. That's why we are here!

Kick that Soar Throat Fast With These Natural Home Remedies:

Soar throats tend to come at the worst time and you deserve to know how to feel better fast.  Below are some great natural home remedies that will help kick that soar throat fast! (If you've had a persistent soar throat accompanied by a fever or any other symptoms, be sure to see your doctor) 

Lemon & Cayenne Tea

This one is simple. Warm a mug of hot water and add the juice of 1/2 a lemon to it. Add honey, stevia or agave to taste, to balance the bitter with some sweet. Stay away from sugar to sweeten, as this will feed any potential infection and you are trying to get rid of it! Lastly, add about 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper to the mix for a spicy kick.  You can always add more if you like more spice, but add it little by little.  It builds up fast! The cayenne increases blood flow, reduces pain and strengthens the immune system. 

Wear a Scarf

Chinese medicine has long since advocated for the use of scarves.  The weather is changing. As the temps rise, fall and increasingly cool down, we want to make sure our necks and throats are protected from the elements.  Scarves are not only part of prevention, but also of speeding the healing process. 

Licorice Tea

Licorice tea has been a reliable source of relief for a long time. Don't be confused, this dependable herb is far from the candy you may know it to be. An often underestimated herb, licorice is quite potent and has been used to treat ailments from tendonitis and ulcers to HIV and fungal infections. With that said, it's not a surprise that this powerful herb can kill infection while offering quick (and delicious) soar throat relief!  Go to any store that sells tea and you are sure to find it easily!

Essential Oils 

If you have a burning and dry soar throat, it's likely you're comforted by colder water. Boost it's effect by adding a drop of medical/nutritional grade peppermint oil to your water bottle. It will cool you from the inside out, offering a great deal of relief. 

Steam Inhalation
This is definitely the most popular method that relieves sinus inflammation, clears nasal congestion and soothes respiratory blockages as well. For doing this, you need to fill a small tub or a large bowl to about 3/4th of its capacity with hot water. Next, add some eucalyptus oil, either a few drops or a few sprays of Eucalyptus Shower Mist, to the water. Now, bow your head above the tub/pot of fragrant water and drape a towel over your head to create a smaller space for the steam to be trapped in near your face. Keep your mouth closed and breathe in deep so that the eucalyptus essence-laden steam reaches deep inside the nose and the upper respiratory tract. This method is very effective in providing relief from inflammation of the sinuses and blood vessels inside the nasal cavity, soothing nasal congestion and sinus headache.

These short tips are sure to bring you a much more comfortable night and a faster road to recovery for your soar throat. Eurospa stands behind the quality of our products and we are happy to serve you. Let us know today how we can make your life healthier and better!

 parenthood or just too much excitement, you need a dependable way to feel energized and take care of the duties of the day! And since there's a good chance you're having a hard time keeping your eyes open, I'll make sure to make this quick, clear and easy!

If it's hard for you to wake up in the morning, try these refreshing ideas.

2. Black or Green Tea Bags.
We both know that with very little sleep, you're likely to reach for a caffeinated beverage.

3. Eucalyptus Oil Shower.
This one is great and wonderfully refreshing!  Simply take the eucalyptus oil shower spray and spritz it into the steam of the shower! The naturally occurring menthol will open up your lungs and rejuvenate you from the inside out.
