Beat Muscle Pain & Tension the Fast & Natural Way With These Useful Tips
When you have muscle pain and tension, you need to handle it right away. One reason is because all that tightness can lead to other problems like spreading the pain to other muscles or even migraines. It’s common, when we feel the tension come on, to reach for the nearest pain pill we have. And while that does provide temporary relief, it doesn’t solve the problem and it does leave you with dangerous damage to your intestines, brain and stomach. So if you’d rather find a more natural and still effective alternative, try this method from us at Eurospa Aromatics, where healthy bodies are what we are committed to.
Hot & Cold Therapy
Many people wonder whether to use heat or cold to treat muscle soreness. Some people say to apply heat and others say that icing is best. We say go with both. But the only way for that to truly make sense - is that you have to understand what each temperature does for your body.
What does cold treatment do?
First, it numbs the local pain neurons, so the sense of relief is immediate. It also reduces the local tissue temperature, causing to to ease inflammation and swelling. This works through vasoconstriction, which causes the blood vessels to constrict, reducing the blood flow and release of inflammatory mediators into the site of injury. This is especially useful for serious tissue injury and muscle strains, as you will want to reduce swelling and inflammation. (If you get a shooting pain during or immediately after an exercise -you have a muscle strain).When you exercise, your blood vessels expand and stay that way for at least an hour afterward. Soreness occurs when lactic acid settles in your muscles through dilation of the vessels. However, using cold alone, isn't enough for the healing process. Too much cold will hinder the muscle's ability to relax.
What does heat do?
Heat relaxes the muscle, and thus contributes to faster relief of the soreness. Whether you are sore from a workout or are dealing with chronic pain, you still want to make sure you are keeping the muscle relaxed. When it comes to injuries, the muscle will be inflamed, so be sure to be using more cold than heat to make sure you don't add to the inflammation.How do you get both? The best way, in our opinion, is to regularly (once a week is preferred) go to a sauna or steam room, being sure to take breaks to stand in a cold shower or sit in an ice pool. Alternating hot and cold will reduce inflammation and induce muscle relaxation for deeper healing. Adding the healing benefits of essential oils, such as our eucalyptus oil spray, will add cooling to the cells while the heat of the sauna or steam room efficiently relaxes. If you can’t make it to these wellness places, you can mimic the environment by simply creating an enclosed hot shower, turning it to cold and then back to hot again for a few cycles. Have the shower hot enough to raise your body temperature, but not to burn you.

How To Kick That Seasonal Cold Fast and Naturally.
The winds are changing and seasons are in transition, which is prime time for germs and colds to abound. It’s so important to support your immune system to avoid getting taken over. But, if you still manage to end up with the dreaded seasonal cold, there are ways to kick it fast and we’re here to tell you how.
At Eurospa, we are dedicated to your health in the most natural ways possible. So please enjoy these natural and simple home remedies for faster healing!
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.
Hot Lemon 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.
Licorice Root
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) sore throat relief! Go to any store that sells tea and you are sure to find it easily!
Essential Oils
Grab a bottle of peppermint or eucalyptus oil and simply inhale. You'll be surprised at how fast your sinuses will clear! Additionally, both essential oils have anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, so inhaling their constituents will also help to heal you. But keep reading to find out even more ways to use the healing power of eucalyptus!
These short tips are sure to bring you a much more comfortable night and a faster road to recovery for your sore throat. Eurospa stands behind the quality of our products and we are happy to serve you in the same way we've served homes and spas all over for the last 30 years! Let us know today how we can make your life healthier and better!

Revue Brooks Massage Therapy - Los Angeles Has a New York Russian Style Spa
"THIS IS A NO FRILLS MASSAGE / SPA / STEAM / SAUNA kind of place."
In reading over the reviews of Brooks Message Therapy, I couldn't help but be reminded of the wild and crazy New York spa that we reviewed earlier, Spa 88 aka Wall Street Bath and Spa - A Russian Bath House. The decor is variously described as "like something you would see in communist Russia," to "'Hippy-Dippy' in the decor department and is a bit funky here and there [fake ivy with faux butterflies]."Like any message therapy business, you have various therapists with different approaches. However, there appears to be a couple of Russian fellows that . . . well, let the reviewer tell it:
All I can equate my therapist to is a Soviet era nuclear armed sub with a crew chanting the mantra "Search and destroy!"
"You feel knot here?" is the last thing I remember. With each knot targeted, the sub-aquatic warheads were launched. My warped and gnarled back gave out it's last bit of form and became a puddle of post-meat-grinder refuse. If you are into the philosophy of anthropomorphism and are curious how it might feel to be a speed-bag under barrage of Mohammad Ali then I recommend Brooke's with 5-stars. I suffer from no such curiosities, so I'll resign to the rating I gave. I managed to hobble into the shower after what I now look back on as a near death experience. I washed off the lotion and managed to stumble back to the locker room and hang my clothes off my limp body.
In all fairness, that was one of two massages I got at Brooke's. The other was with a nice young white fellow named Tim. Perhaps because he's a more toothpickish guy and doesn't have muscles forged in the crimson fires of the KGB gauntlet camps, the massage was amazing, and left me feeling great.
If you ever go to Brooke's, ask for Tim!

This review in Yelp was not the only one to speak of the hand strength of a couple of the therapists. But all the others seemed to be very happy to have had their knots thoroughly expunged.
The ratings across the internet seemed to show that Brooks Message Therapy has served the community well for many decades. If you're looking for a no frills spa with excellent messages, and sauna and steam rooms (the steam room is deliciously scented by eucalyptus for both aromatic and healing propoerties), then this is the place for you.

Spa week had this to say about Pure Blue Spa in Newport Beach, CA:
About Pure Blu Spa at the Newport Beach Marriott
Pure Blu Spa boasts 14,000 square feet of spa luxury! Pure Blu is separated into a Ladies and a Men's side and each side of the spa has a eucalyptus steam room, dry sauna, salt water whirlpool jacuzzi, refreshing cold water foot plunge, private and co-ed relaxation rooms, private (spa only) outdoor swimming pool with lounge chairs, cabanas and poolside food and beverage service! *robes, slippers and lockers are provided for your convenience. Spa services include complementary valet or self parking and require a 4 hour change or cancellation notice (or appointments are charged in full).
The Yelp reviews were very interesting. The Spa got generally high marks (averaging 3.5 out of 5), with most of the negative reviews coming from guests who were there on a Groupon or other coupon. Of special interest to this blog, the eucalyptus steam room was mentioned favorably in almost half of the reviews. It is very unusual to see so many comments on the steam room. But the eucalyptus seems to be the difference. Here were some representative examples.

I like the wet sauna (steam room) at Pure Blu more than the one at Burke Williams because PB infuses the steam with eucalyptus scent. As a girl with allergies, I found this delightful. If I would come back, it's for this steam room.

5 Worst Steam Rooms in America
A Great Eucalyptus Steam Room Is a Touch of Heaven. These 5 Miss the Mark
There are a few things in life that leave a memory that touches virtually every sense. Think 73 degree 7 mph breeze overlooking the blue pacific while sipping something cold. Or maybe a perfectly hit baseball or golf ball. Add to the short list a baby's first smile. These are moments you can drink in and savor. Moments that you'll remember for years into the future. For some, a beautifully designed steam bath with the healing scent of eucalyptus would be on their list. There is something about drinking the steam and essential oil into what seems like every part of your body that provides perfect pleasure to virtually every sensory organ.
Unfortunately, there are some steam rooms in gyms, spas, or hotels that seem to get the short end of the straw. The potential for an amazing time of relaxing turns into mumbling and consternation. We are sorry if you thought we were going to name names here. No can do. However, we encourage you to do it for us. Leave the names of your worst steam room experiences in the comments. Maybe they will send a wake up call.
1. Obviously the worst steam rooms are those who don't bother to inject eucalyptus oil into the steam. The cost is truly miniscule. Less than $3 a day. Why would any company fail to provide this healthy benefit to their clients. Some of the other issues below would also be solved with the use of eucalyptus oil.
2. Instead of smelling like eucalyptus, the steam room smells like . . . dirty laundry. Warm wet places attract mildew, and we all know what that smells like. The good news is that Eucalyptus oil is a known antibacterial and anti fungal agent. In other words, it destroys mildew.
3. Your visual senses will not appreciate seeing mold in a steam room. See #2 for the reason there might be mold and for the solution. Eucalyptus oil to the rescue again.
4. The room isn't large enough to accommodate the crowd they try to pack in there. Steam rooms are not enhanced by close contact with others.
5. Loud steam generators. Just when your reaching nirvana, the steam comes on with a huge gasp. This isn't necessary. There are steam machines that don't sound like the flush toilets on an airplane.
We could get nit picky about outdated look, worn out facilities, policies regarding co-ed, not co-ed, clothing optional or not. None of those will ruin the mood, so we haven't included them in our list. If you know the folks at your spa or gym and they aren't using eucalyptus oil in the steam, tell them about our under $3-a-day solution. Send them to http://EurospaAromatics.com
If you do steam at home or want to get as close as possible in your shower, we now offer a choice of 8 ounce or 16 ounce spray mist bottles of 100% pure, pharmaceutical grade eucalyptus oil direct from our factory. You can order by calling us at 1-800-395-6478. (8 oz is only $29.95 + s/h)
This oil, by the way, is the very same oil as we ship to the top luxury hotels and spas all over the US. They learned long ago that the way to make a steam room perfect is to add Eucalyptus oil.

15 Reasons You Need Eucalyptus Oil in Your Home
Only a Smart Phone Has More Beneficial Uses in Your Home, and a Year's Supply of Eucalyptus Oil will only Cost You $29.95.
I stare at the little block of aluminum, glass and electronics in my hand and I marvel. The phone, computer, camera, video camera, radio, TV, movie player, music device, flashlight, and clock is the invention of a generation. Of course, most amazing of all is that the list above only scratches the surface of uses for a smart phone.
Amazingly, nature has provided us with a product that can go almost toe-to-toe with the smart phone for useful benefits to mankind. The mighty eucalyptus tree doesn't get the kind of press that iPhones and Galaxies get, but that isn't for lack of value. Here are the top 17 reasons for keeping an 8 oz spray bottle of 100% pure, pharmaceutical grade eucalyptus oil in your home. (BTW - The uses for the tree itself are not even included here, but can be found here.)
- Anti bacterial - kills bacteria and prevents return
- Anti fungal - kills fungus (many types) and inhibits return
- Cold remedy - reduces symptoms. May speed recover and/or help prevent colds
- Helps with respiratory inflamation
- Helps to prevent staph infections
- Analgesic effect - For any tired or overused muscle, including feet
- Mosquito Repellant - 2nd only to DEET
- Steam Room Improvement - Works as anti-fungal, anti bacterial, decongestant, analgesic, aromatherapy, and just smells good.
- Use in hot shower or facial sauna - Same benefits as steam room.
- Cat repellant - Can harm cats, but used properly will keep strays away.
- Cold Sore remedy - apply early to stop formation
- Aromatherapy - One of the most beneficial essential oils for various aromatherapeutic effects
- Reduce symptoms of COPD
- Cures athlete's feet - Maybe ringworm, jock itch and other similar issues
- Overcomes addition to cigarettes - the study also found reduced craving for chocolate. Use eucalyptus oil at your own risk regarding chocolate.
Our 100% pure eucalyptus oil is not currently available in stores. It is used by many of the top spas in the world, gyms, and baths for steam rooms and sometimes saunas.
We are now making an 8 oz and 16 oz bottle available to you on a direct basis from our factory in Long Beach. This is exactly the same 100% pure, pharmaceutical grade eucalyptus oil that is used in the spas noted throughout this blog.
BUY SUPREMA GRADE EUCALYPTUS OIL NOW
To purchase the product, please give us a call at 1-800-395-6478. We have the 8 oz bottle available for $29.95. If you have a steam room in your home, you may prefer the 16 oz bottle, which we sell for just $54.95. All major credit cards accepted.

Best Spa on Maui, Top Ten in US, the Spa Grand at the Grand Wailea
Spa Grand at the Grand Wailea Just South of Kihei on Maui Is Noted for It's Water Treatments, Including the Eucalyptus Steam Room
Having just oohed and aahed about the amazing online reviews for the Waihua Spa, Ritz Carlton, Kapalua near Lahaina, Maui, we turn our attention to another Maui spa just an hours drive south in Wailea. In this case, there are hundreds of reviews, and having read most of them, the only negatives seemed to be the occasional bad massage, or the chance situation where something wasn't working right.
There were some who wished for less nudity or more nudity in the ladies section, and those who wished the eucalyptus steam room, saunas, and other relaxtion areas were co-ed (they're not). But the overall score was again over 4.5 out of 5 stars, and the difference seemed to be the number of therapies available, including the five specialty baths and the Terme Hydrotherapy Circuit.
 |
| The Five Specialty Baths at the Spa Grand |
Voted "Top 10 Spas in the United States" by Condé Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure magazines, Spa Grande at the Grand Wailea is the best spa on Maui and one of the most luxurious resort spas in Hawaii. Spa Grande offers a wide array of treatments that reflect a balance between the traditions of the east, west and ancient Hawaii. Experience a harmonious infusion with one common goal - to unite one’s inner wellness and outer beauty. There is no Maui resort spa like it.
- 40 treatment rooms in a 50,000 square-foot spa, the largest spa in Hawaii
- Exclusive Terme Hydrotherapy Circuit, a unique haven of water therapies featuring a Roman tub, eucalyptus steam room, saunas, cascading waterfalls, Swiss jet showers, a Japanese furo and five specialty baths
- Extensive menu of soothing massage, facial and body care treatments and therapies
- Fitness Center with state of the art equipment and daily classes

Makawao, HI
Some
friends and I wanted to relax in luxury without breaking the bank so we
decided to purchase the 2-hour terme hydrotherapy package at Spa Grande.
Although, we weren't able to partake in massages and facials, the
terme baths did not disappoint. There are 5 different essential
oil/mineral soaking baths, 2 jacuzzi/cold plunges (one Western style and
one Japanese style), a sauna, a Eucalyptus-scented steam room, 3
waterfall showers, and 2 needle showers. The spa is spacious and very
relaxing. The staff is very helpful and friendly - they didn't seem to
notice that my friends and I stayed in the spa an extra 40 minutes after
our 2 hours we up. Also, be sure to take advantage of the upstairs
lanai - you'll get an incredible ocean view. If you're local, be sure
to claim your kamaaina discount. The 2-hour terme packages comes to $50
once the kamaaina discount is applied, and it comes with a
complimentary mini body scrub.
From TripAdvisor
We received this spa treatment as a wedding gift from my daughters, and
it is definitely a gift that we will never forget! We arrived just in
time for our Hot Stone Massage, so we didn't have time to enjoy the
Terme Hydrotherapy Circuit before our massage. The massage was very
relaxing, and very enjoyable! After our massage, the young man at the
Front Desk spoke with his manager, and was able to get a 2-hour visit
for us to the Hydrotherapy area, and we used it the next
day....wow!!...what a treat, and what great service! This young man went
above and beyond! This is certainly something you will want to
do....from the salt baths, to the eucalyptus steam room, to the
whirlpool and sauna, and the Swiss jet and waterfall showers....and take
your time to enjoy it! This Spa is well worth it!

Review - The Four Seasons Spa, Scottsdale at Troon North
Become One with the Environment at the Four Seasons Spa.
Scottsdale is the Bel Air of the Sonoran Desert. Located just Northeast of Phoenix, it has come to be known as the destination of the pampered classes.
The Four Seasons Hotels are also known for locating their charming resorts in the best playlands on earth. No exception here. In writing this review, the words seemed
inadequate, and I really just wanted to resort to pictures.
The spa has picked up on the aura of both the desert setting and the clients they serve. Examples of the spa services include: Jojoba and prickly pear polish
This full-body exfoliation combines deeply penetrating jojoba oil with the healing properties of prickly pear to leave the skin smooth and moisturised.Sonoran honey body polish
A Sonoran honey and refreshing orange sugar scrub is used in this vigorous and effective body exfoliation.
The reviews online were sparse, but all save one were gushing with praise for the facility and the staff. The lone negative reviewer may have merely shown up on a day where either a staff member or the reviewer, herself was in a bad mood. The Four Seasons Spa is pricey, and they would probably be the first to acknowledge that. You are paying for the setting, the outstanding personnel, the unique service offerings, and the option of spending time before and after enjoying other hotel amenities.
Erica Tiffany, writing for online mag, sheknows.com in the beauty and style section, had this to say about the Four Season Spa in Scottsdale:
Nestled North of the Valley in the tranquil Arizona desert, Four Seasons Troon North is a safe haven for women in need of some 'me time.' From the moment I stepped on the grounds, I was impressed. I was encouraged to use their fitness room, go hike nearby Pinnacle Peak or spend the rest of my day lounging in a cabana by their sky-blue pool. It really made the entire day memorable! But, I was most impressed by the professional attitude of everyone I encountered. They really made me feel welcome and special!
Of course, as with any proper spa, this one offers a eucalyptus steam room. The 100% pure eucalyptus oil is injected directly into the steam to provide a perfect harmony of soothing essential oil and steam. Every part of your body will thank you for spending time in their steam room.

Review of Spa 88 aka Wall Street Bath and Spa - A Russian Bath House
Spa 88 Has Those Who Can't Get Enough and Those Who Can't Kvetch Enough
Eucalyptus Steam Room
According to the website for Spa 88: The steamroom combines the therapeutic effects of moist heat
with inhalation therapy. Inside our therapists can perform several
body treatments such as full body wash, scrub or Platza.
I've never been to a Russian bath house, but apparently you don't want to compare this to the luxury spas we've been reviewing elsewhere in this blog. Also, this is NY, not Maui or Orange County. Some of the reviewers kindly note that Spa 88 is a "little rough around the edges." There is talk of "hairy old Russian Men." Then an old Russian man reviews the place and says "What do you expect?"
Though there are detractors, there appears to be a very large crowd of those who love the place and come regularly. So much so that Saturdays are described as "crowded."
One thing comes through all of the talk. It would appear that hairy old Russian men and young girls can agree on this: Eucalyptus Oil is important in the steam room. As Joana K says, "my sinuses never felt so clear..."
4 hours passed before I knew it, and we ended up closing the place down. The wet steam room had eucalyptus in the air so my sinuses never felt so clear as they did after several minutes there.
This was
my first banya experience.
I'm glad we did because I loved it there. The steam room was so refreshing and in one of the rooms, there were regulars there who go every saturday. One man, who I'm assuming is a masseur, was giving massages to people who had some injuries. He also brought his own body scrub, oils, etc and taught people how to use them to exfoliate and improve their banya experience. It was fun meeting all these different people and relaxing at the same time.

WOW. This place is suberb.
My sister and I went into the locker rooms, changed into our bathing suits and put our robes on. We first went into the dry sauna. This was freaking HOT. I sat on the first ledge and it was already hot after 7 minutes of lying down. I decided to go outside to cool myself down. After cooling down for a good 10 minutes, I went into the eucalyptus steam room and chilled there for 10 minutes, alternating 10 minutes in the steam room with 5 minutes cooling off near the benches.
I did this 3 times. The eucalyptus steam room has to be my favorite room since it's not too hot nor too weak. They steam the room real good cause when I walked in there I could barely see anything that was 2 feet away from me. I love the minty smell you get from the room. A bonus is you can bring your own products and apply them to your body (as long as you don't make a mess of the whole area).

Review of the Spa at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea
Vancouver, Canada
Senior Contributor
I chose this spa because the front line person (Kristen) who booked the treatments for me was so accommodating.
From the moment i entered and was taken to the locker room and eucalyptus steam room to the lounge area to wait for my attendant - Nadine - , the feeling was one of serenity.
Whyalla, Australia
When you see visitors to amazing spas specifically pointing to the steam room as part of why they loved their time there, you can almost always count on the fact that there was eucalyptus oil injected into the steam.
A very large part of the population loves a good steam. But it is a rare individual who doesn't love eucalyptus. Rarer still is the one who is an aficionado of steam that doesn't feel eucalyptus is a natural part of the entire reason for doing steam. It is all about the combination.

The Bellevue Hotel and Club complex sits on nine acres in Bellevue, WA just minutes outside of Seattle. The Club portion comprises an astounding 200,000 square feet that includes every amenity imaginable. The pool, pictured above, provides a visual of what to expect throughout the facility.
The review were not as obvious as some of the spas we have reviewed, in that most reviews for the club were mixed with reviews for the hotel, the catering department, and the restaurants. The overall ratings for the entire business, were universally above 8 out of ten, but when you narrowed the reviews to the club, there seemed to be only one complaint; the locker rooms. Well, the locker rooms are spanking brand new and state-of-the art now. And the steam rooms have the luxury touch of automatically injected eucalyptus oil pumped into the steam.
Even with the negative reviews on the locker rooms, most reviewers of the Club and Spa gave 9 out of 10 or higher. The common phrase was that this was the most luxurious spa in town.

Kinesis
