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.)

1. Anti bacterial - kills bacteria and prevents return
2. Anti fungal - kills fungus (many types) and inhibits return
3. Cold remedy - reduces symptoms.  May speed recover and/or help prevent colds
4. Helps with respiratory inflamation 
5. Helps to prevent staph infections
6. Analgesic effect - For any tired or overused muscle, including feet
7. Mosquito Repellant - 2nd only to DEET
8. Steam Room Improvement - Works as anti-fungal, anti bacterial, decongestant, analgesic, aromatherapy, and just smells good.
9. Use in hot shower or facial sauna - Same benefits as steam room.
10. Cat repellant - Can harm cats, but used properly will keep strays away.
11. Cold Sore remedy - apply early to stop formation
12. Aromatherapy - One of the most beneficial essential oils for various aromatherapeutic effects
13. Reduce symptoms of COPD
14. Cures athlete's feet - Maybe ringworm, jock itch and other similar issues
15. Overcomes addition to cigarettes - the study also found reduced craving for chocolate.  Use eucalyptus oil at your own risk regarding chocolate. 

We have chosen to list only those uses for which there has been some scientific evidence of usefulness, or where the product has been in active use for years, decades or centuries for the purpose listed.

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.

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.  

Exposed - Eucalyptus Oil Does Not Cure This

Eucalyptus Oil May Cure Respiratory Diseases, Malaria, Chocolate Addiction, and Cat Trespasses, but Studies have not yet Shown Any Benefit in Using Eucalyptus Oil for Everything . . . at Least Not Yet!

We have shown elsewhere on this blog that Eucalyptus works at least two ways to help combat and even eliminate malaria.  The trees root system dries up the mosquito breeding grounds.  The scent drives away remaining mosquitoes.  Eucalyptus oil alone, or in combination with other products is the second best mosquito repellent known to man, after DEET.  Amazing, dontcha think?

While the scientific method has yet to conclusively prove that eucalyptus oil is fantastic at reducing the effects of, helping to prevent, and speeding the cure of various respiratory infections and diseases, the folks get it!  And eucalyptus has been used in various products for decades because of their effectiveness.

Sometimes you may not want the cure that eucalyptus oil might offer.  A study has been published that suggests the need for more studies.  Don't they always.  In this case the study says that just inhaling eucalyptus oil might help dampen your craving for . . . chocolate.  The same study also found some help in lowering the desire for cigarettes.  We'll leave you to decide whether to study your own response.

When it comes to cats and their trespasses, we have also provided you with instructions on how to dissuade cats from hanging out in your garden using eucalyptus.  We were kind enough to also note how that process can be done without actually snuffing out Muffy.

Throughout this blog you will see that eucalyptus and its oils have been recommended or can be scientifically proven to be great for killing microbes and bacteria, stopping cold sores, reducing pain in muscles, and providing relief from stress.  Therefore, in its role as a stress reliever it might be a cure or help for many stress related problems such as depression, lower and upper back issues, stomach problems and headaches.
We just need to run the studies.

But we will admit that you can't use eucalyptus oil as a cure for heartache, identity theft, or black thumb (inability to grow garden plants).  There may be other things that you won't be able to use EO for, but not many.  Why not pick up an 8 ounce spray bottle of our 100% pure, pharmaceutical grade eucalyptus oil and try it out for some of these uses.  

Might we suggest that the first use might be as a spray mist in your shower.  Just turn the shower on full hot until it is producing steam (and before you enter it, please!)  Then spray a couple of times into the steam.  The aroma will quickly fill the entire room, but especially your shower enclosure.  Moderate the temperature to taste and step in while breathing the healing and calming eucalyptus laden steam.  Your experience will be just like at the finest spas in the world.  Oh, did we mention.  This is the same eucalyptus oil product used at the finest spa steam rooms in the world.  We have reviewed many of those spas elsewhere in this blog.

Reviewing the Waihua Spa, Ritz Carlton, Kapalua near Lahaina, Maui

The Best Spas Seem to Have One Thing in Common - A Eucalyptus Steam Room

 

In our reviews of various spa's around the world, the Waihua Spa at the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, is the best so far if you base your ratings on:  number of online reviews by customers, ratings by online reviewers, descriptions of the experience by these same reviewers, or reviews by professionals.  With almost 100 reviews to read through the overall ranking is close to a full 5 stars out of 5.  

 

We would like to believe that the eucalyptus steam room is what pushed them to these great heights, but are humble enough to concede that this was just one frequently mentioned aspect of the attention to detail that is apparent throughout the spa.  Here are a few of the reviews that we selected as a sample of the impressions.

 

Please note that if you would enjoy having all the benefits of eucaplytus oil in your home steam room or even in your shower, we now offer a home sized shower mist spray.  See it here.

Waihua Spa, Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua

At this gorgeous 17,500-square-foot spa, you enter a blissful maze where floor-to-ceiling riverbed stones lead to serene treatment rooms, couples' hales (cabanas), and a rain forest-like grotto with a Jacuzzi, dry cedar sauna, and eucalyptus steam rooms. Hang out in the co-ed waiting area, where sliding-glass doors open to a whirlpool overlooking a taro patch garden. Exfoliate any rough spots with a pineapple-papaya or coffee scrub; then wash off in a private outdoor shower garden before indulging in a lomilomi massage (traditional Hawaiian massage involving powerful strokes down the length of the body). High-end beauty treatments include advanced oxygen technology to tighten and nourish mature skin. The on-site shop has a great selection of local beauty products and jewelry.

“Excellent service”

Reviewed May 12, 2013

We did a spa service during our stay at the Ritz and so glad we did. The couple massage was Perfect and there were many amenities to use afterwards-highly recommend the eucalyptus steam room. Once you have a service there you have access to these amenities for the entire day. Able to come back after a lunch or nap! Very relaxing.

“Great spa with co-ed and private areas”

Reviewed March 6, 2012

The co-ed section has a sitting room and outdoor hot tub. The female only (and male I presume) are so relaxing. The whirpool was in this stone, rock type room which made it so soothing. Eucalyptus steam room, dry sauna, relaxation room with couches, showers, and all the tea and cucumber water you can drink.

 

“incredible massage”

Reviewed November 12, 2011

I am so picky about massages, and this masseuse named Luis gave me the best massage I have had in years, so good, that I booked another massage the next day. if you want DEEP tissue massage someone who will really get down into your back and shoulders then ask for Luis. also, their steam room and sauna area is amazing, and very exotic feeling with an entire rock wall and rock jacuzzi. ( men separated from women)
 

“A+ Spa”

Reviewed October 26, 2011

Spa was amazing, pricy as you would expect from the Ritz but worth the extra penny! My massage was excellent, great staff everywhere. Also, there a lovely grotto area where you can use the whirlpool tub, sauna, relaxation room with hot tea (option to order food as well), and eucalyptus steam room. This is free, included with every spa treatment and you can use it anytime on the day of your appt. You can even leave and come back again later! Nice bonus :)

4/1/2013 4 photos 3 check-ins here The number one perk for staying at the Kapalua Villas is the use of the spa facility. I don't think I can write something that hasn't already been mentioned. It is wonderful! Great staff, quiet setting, showers, lockers, razors, shampoo, etc. Nice touches like pineapple water to keep you in that state of bliss. Another review I'm fearful of writing since this place was quiet with no one around but staff.

The pool and hot tub are fantastic! The steam room is scented with eucalyptus, and felt all my stress fade away. I'm kicking myself that we didn't just show up here after we checked in, we didn't look into it until a few days into our holiday.

The next time I visit, I will get a villa close enough so I can stumble out of bed and spend every day there.

Truly as good as it gets: Bo's therapeutic massage wasn't just amazing, but he helped spot a muscle problem in my shoulder that Tom in the fitness center worked on (and has apparently cured), and then gave me resources to help...from home! The eucalyptus steam room was the best I've EVER experienced (3 times!), plus the amazing variety of water amenities made this one of the most relaxing - and restorative - days of my life.

• Tara C

No, seriously.  This place has just about everything I could want.  I can sleep on the comfy lounge-beds by the pool, use the gorgeous shower areas, they have a yummy menu, and I can work out in the state of the art gym.  I was blown away by this gorgeous sanctuary (in the middle of the already gorgeous Kapalua, of course). We spent many hours here and I totally blissed out.

I also took advantage of the amazing gym facilities on my own.  Wow- the weight machines were whisper-quiet and they had the newest cardio equipment, each unit with its own TV monitor and USB hookup for your iPod/iPhone.  Forgot your own earphones?  Don't worry, they've got you; grab a pair at the front, then just drop them in the "Used Headphones" basket after your workout.  They had one machine called "the Wave" which had a funky, cross country skiing motion (i think?).  I had never seen one before, but it was neat.  They also offer complimentary personal training lessons on using their new Kinesis equipment.  AND you work out while looking at views of the ocean or one of their own waterfall pools.  Gym- Excellent, A+.

Following my workouts, I would use the shower facilities.  Along with fancy digital combination locks, each locker has a plush robe and a pair of those Hawaiian brown sandals.  The restrooms/showers are fully equipped for just about anything you need.  They have disposable razors; yummy smelling shampoo, conditioner, and body wash; combs, brushes, and hair dryers in the vanity area; and extras like mouthwash, toothbrush/toothpaste sets, unisex deodorant, and body lotion to finish you off.  I loved it!

Now for the really indulgent treats.  All over the spa, there were glass containers dispensing pineapple-infused water, ice cold.  Ahhh.  Step out into the pool area, and you will find pumps of sunscreen, menus for poolside dining, and magazines to entertain you.  I worked on my tan on the lounges, then cooled off in the beautiful infinity pool.

Just inside the separated women's and men's facilities, you will also find the Serenity areas.  Here, you have to try the eucalyptus sea salt infused steam room.  Breathe deep and relax on the cool tiles.  Or go next door and use the traditional sauna.  Be sure to grab a cold washcloth from the pedestal outside to cool your face; I loved that the washcloths sit on an ice block shaped like the Kapalua butterfly logo (see photo).  I liked to follow all of that with a quick dash through the rainfall area, then jump into the waterfall hot tub.  Heaven.

Out of courtesy to other spa patrons, I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked, but trust me- the place is spectacular.  The staff are all very helpful and friendly, so don't be afraid to ask questions, and tip them for their great service.  Most importantly, enjoy, relax, and live "Aloha".

 

Eucalyptus Oil Second Only to Chemical DEET as Mosquito Repellant

Ochlerotatus notoscriptus, Tasmania, Australia (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

5 Reasons to Use Eucalyptus Oil Instead of DEET as Mosquito Repellant

As we head into the heart of mosquito season, the various sprays, ointments, and zappers come out of the closets and basements.  You may not be aware that Eucalyptus Oil is considered to be the 2nd most effective method of repelling mosquitoes.  Wikipedia points out:

However, more recent evidence shows that DEET serves as a true repellent in that mosquitoes intensely dislike the smell of the chemical repellent.^[6] A type of olfactory receptor neuron in special antennal sensilla of mosquitoes that is activated by DEET, as well as other known insect repellents such as eucalyptol, linalool, and thujone, has been identified. Moreover, in a behavioral test, DEET had a strong repellent activity in the absence of body odor attractants such as 1-octen-3-ol, lactic acid, or carbon dioxide. Female and male mosquitoes showed the same response

 So, why might you choose to use eucalyptus oil as a mosquito repellent instead of Deet or other chemicals?

1. Eucalyptus Oil is natural.  You can purchase it in pure oil form.  
2. The aroma is one of the most soothing and appreciated of all the aromatherapy scents.
3. While minor, there are side effects to products with DEET
4. Mosquitos have been shown to be able to adapt to and overcome DEET
5. A bottle of 100% pure, pharmaceutical grade eucalyptus oil in your home has a long list of other potential uses including as aromatherapy, a shower mist, and an antibacterial agent.

Please not the the pure eucalyptus oil is not recommended as a topical mosquito repellent for children under 3, but is approved for all other groups.  

How to Use Diluted Eucalyptus Oil as a Cat Repellant

Clearly not a eucalyptus leaf

Do Not Use Concentrated Eucalyptus Oil to Repel Cats.  It Can Be Toxic - Even Fatal

Eucalyptus Oil may be best known as a muscle relaxant, soothing aromatic, excellent cold remedy, and delightful enhancement to steam rooms, but fewer people are aware of the use of Eucalyptus Oil as a cat repellant and mosquito repellant.

One of God's great mysteries is how animals know to avoid eating, smelling, or even coming into contact with plants or other animals that can result in harm to them.  One of those cases is very useful when properly used.  Cats who may be coming onto your property and doing damage to plants or bothering your pets hate the smell of eucalyptus.

And well they should hate that smell.  Eucalyptus ingested by our feline friends can do liver damage and even prove fatal.  So according to the website HowtoDoThings.com:

"...use only 10 ml of eucalyptus oil combined with 200 ml water in a spray bottle, and shake it vigorously. Afterwards, spray this mixture all over areas in your backyard that is frequented by stray cats."

This may be one of the most effective and easiest methods.  Other suggestions such as cutting up lemons and leaving them in the garden, may result in other unwanted pest who are attracted to the rotting fruit.

Stop Cold Sores Before They Get Started with this Essential Oil

Doesn't Hurt to Try Eucalyptus Oil on Your Cold Sores, and Apparently Many Find Eucalyptus to be Effective at Stopping Cold Sores from Forming.  

If you do a Google Search for Eucalyptus Oil Cold Sore, you will get pages and pages of results.  If you check those results, you will see that tea tree oil, peppermint, and other essential oil are often recommended as a way to keep cold sores from getting nasty. 

If you add this to the dozens of other known uses for eucalyptus oil, it just makes good sense to keep a bottle of pure eucalyptus oil on hand. 

Eurospa Aromatics is a leading producer of eucalyptus oil used in steam rooms across the USA.  They choose our oil because it is 100% pure oil and of pharmaceutical grade.  We now offer the same identical oil for home use.  We have a 16 oz bottle that is great for those who have a steam room at home.  You can pour a bit into the receptacle that most steam generators for home use provide specifically for eucalyptus or other essential oils. 

We offer an 8 oz spray bottle that can be used as a shower mist.  Turn your shower on full blast with hot water only, allow a little steam to develop, then spray the eucalyptus oil directly into the spray.  The room will be flooded with that much loved woodsy aroma, and the curative powers of eucalyptus will go right to work on your respiratory system to help whatever ails you or prevent microbes from even getting a start.  Of course either size bottle can be used for any of the other purposes that eucalyptus has been found to be effective, from muscle release to stress reduction.

Our spray mist bottle of Suprema Grade Pure Eucalyptus Oil Makes A Unique Gift.
