Need a Serious Pick Me Up But Not Into Energy Drinks? Try This!

We are in a society where we have to be up early and late and go, go, go in between. Sure you need sleep, we both know that that’s the biggest solution. But in the meantime, you want to wake up, be alert and get going with your day and not feel jittery and gross from prescription drugs or chemical energy boosters. We know, and we have a solution. It’s so simple.

What you need: One bottle of 100% Pure, Eucalyptus Oil Shower Spray from Eurospa Aromatics. That’s all you need.

Here’s what you do with it. All you need to do is rub your hands together. The key is making sure to first spray a couple of shots of the eucalyptus shower spray onto your hands, and then rub them together for a few seconds very rapidly to create heat, energizing the oil. Now just bring the hands to your nose, and breath in.

The first time you do it, don't breath in too deeply. While the first breath can't hurt you, it sure might be a bit overwhelming. The exploding molecules of the essential oil will continue to provide natural stimulation while opening your sinuses, flood through your respiratory system, and opening your pores for a minute or so. Indulge as long as you like. Because this is an oil, not a scent, there is no residue, and in a few moments the delicious aroma will dissipate.  Feel free to take another hit as often as you like.

This is an incredibly efficient and effective way to wake up. You can do it multiple times throughout the day without messing with your sleep at night or your liver and adrenals for that matter. It’s so effective that you may need to hide the bottle at work, since everyone around you is likely to want their own pick me up.

When Eurospa Aromatics creates a product, we create to deliver results. And this is just another result you can count on. Get your own bottle today!

Travel Tips to Reduce Jet Lag During International Travel

Traveling is fun. The last thing you need though, is to have your fun interrupted or stolen by jet lag’s grip. None of these tips will promise that you will feel completely rested and (like you’re not traveling) but they will help you to feel more refreshed and ready to enjoy your adventure and relaxation!

Before you fly: No matter when you are departing, it’s important to get good sleep (8-10 hours) the last 2-3 days before you fly. This will help you to accumulate rest for the day you’ll lose it.

During your flight:

Keep hydrated. Keep a water bottle nearby and sip often. If you’re afraid of having too many trips to the bathroom, add a little sea/mineral salt to the water to absorb it better. Seriously, try it!

Eat well. Avoid too much sugar or junk food. This drains the body of energy and causes you to peak and crash. You need maintainable energy. Choose natural snacks for energy like dried and fresh fruit as well as nuts.  When going with the flight food, make sure to avoid the desserts they offer as they tend to be more rich and contain a lot of sugar.

Breathe Deep. Most people breathe through the chest, when it’s important to breathe through your diaphragm. Not sure where you breathe from? Take a deep breath and see if your chest rises or stays neutral. A rising chest indicates you are not breathing from your diaphragm. The body translates this as a stress response and stress is then furthered. For deep relaxation after a long day on set or even during breaks, take some time to breathe correctly, calmly and deeply for anywhere between 1 and 20 minutes, depending on what you have time for. Try to make time for a longer session once you land, for best sleep and better recovery.

Don’t Drink. Air travel is very dehydrating and alcohol only makes it worse. So stick to decaf teas, water and juices during the flight. You’ll also want to avoid alcohol until you’ve had a really good night of sleep. This is because once you’ve had more than 1 alcoholic beverage, your body can’t get the sleep that it needs. Instead of resting and recovering at night, it will spend it’s time healing and processing the toxins. Try to wait until day 2.

Wait to Sleep. If you land and are ready to sleep, do your best to wait. The more you wait to sleep until it’s a normal sleeping time for the region you’re in, the easier your body will acclimate. Then do your best to sleep in until at least 6 am before getting up again.

Refresh and Detox. If you have access to a sauna the day of travel, please use it. Sweating in high heat will help you release built up radiation from the travel and allow you to feel better faster and feel refreshed. For a fast rejuvenator, use a product such as the Eucamint Shower Mist, in the steam of your shower to help boost circulation, detoxification, ease muscle stiffness and increase your ability to focus with energy. Breathe in deep for the big effect. 

Those are the best ways to defeat jet lag before it even begins. Don’t let a tired head and body be what holds you back from experiencing your adventure. Let Eurospa make it easier and healthier. Happy travels!

Quick Natural Relief for Tired Sleepy Eyes

Whether it’s late night studying, having fun, a restless baby or a wound up mind, nobody likes waking up with tired eyes and the mind that matches it.

So we want to share with you some simple and natural tips to waking up not only your eyes but your whole self, so you can conquer your day with energy and eyes wide open!

Cold water. Immediately cleanse your face upon waking. Let let the cold begin. Splash your face with as cold of water you can handle, 10 - 20 times. If you’re feeling super brave, lay with an ice pack on your eyes for 5 minutes.

Take a shower. Not just any shower, take a eucalyptus shower. Run some hot water and spray eucalyptus oil mist into the steam. Breathe deep and let the menthol penetrate your lungs and skin cells for total body rejuvenation!

Caffeine. Brew up some green or black tea using 2 bags total. Once it has steeped, set aside the bags on a dish, and maybe drink the tea.  But grab those tea bags, lay down and place them on your eyes for about 10 minutes to see some great tightening and brightening.

Lemon water. Nothing is better than drinking some hot, warm or cold lemon water in the morning. Simply slice and squeeze the lemon, add water and enjoy! This will detox your endocrine and lymphatic system for an awakening from the inside out!

Eye drops. A perfect finishing touch includes lubricating and redness reducing eye drops. You’ll feel more wide eyed and less bloodshot within minutes!

Enjoy these tips and go about your day. At Eurospa, we don’t want you to miss out on life and are happy to leave you with all the natural solutions you need to make your day, (and life) great!

These Tips Will Help You Stop Hitting Snooze and Give You More Energy for Your Day!

I could not wake up this morning. But I have some secrets that help boost my energy even on my 'snooze button' days, so I wasn't too stressed. I also know I'm not alone and other people would love to know what I do for my boost.

These Tips Will Help You Stop Hitting Snooze and Give You More Energy for Your Day!

Warm Lemon Water
This one works to give you that ZING and also cleanses... even your skin will look great after doing this a few days in a row! 1/2 Lemon. One mug of water. Honey to taste with a dash (or tsp) of cayenne pepper.  GOOD MORNING!

Tea Bags
We both know that with very little sleep, you're likely to reach for a caffeinated beverage. If you're so wise to choose tea - steep your tea as usual but then apply the tea bag to your under eye area.  If you can listen to some energizing music and lay down for 5 minutes like this, you will feel more energized AND your eyes will look brighter!

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.

Peppermint Oil
I recommend keeping a small bottle of peppermint next to your bed. When you wake up (or during your daily lull), open the bottle and inhale deeply. You can even dab a few drops on your hairline, crown of the head and at the back of the neck. You'll be boosted quickly and ready to take on the world!

We hope you find these tips useful and able to give you the energy boost you're needing both inside and out!  Have a beautiful day, from all of us at Eurospa!j

Tired Again? Quick and Easy Ways to Boost Your Energy Naturally!

Fatigue, exhaustion and generally just feeling tired is one of the most common complaints in western societies. So how are you supposed to handle something so debilitating and yet common, in a healthy way? 
This is a question circulating in many social circles, as people all over debate what form of stimulant is the best.  From coffee to chocolate to supplements and energy drinks... people are determined to get energized.

If I told you that this was all possible in the most natural and healthy ways, would you lean in?  
Well, here's your chance.  If you have hit your limit  and are tired of being tired,  then I have some quick and easy ways for you to boost your energy naturally. 

Here you go. 

1. First of all, remove or decrease false stimulants in your diet and lifestyle that rob you of your energy reserves.  Take an audit of your chocolate, coffee, tea, processed sugars and refined carbohydrates in your diet. These are false stimulants and only stimulate you on a superficial and temporary level, leaving you with a crash later on.  So slowly decrease the false stimulants and replace them with fresh juice, water and tonic herbs. Your natural energy will become stronger as your body re-balances without these substances, and is able to know the proper energy release and relaxation needs your body is requiring. 

2. Stay hydrated with clean, purified water.  Not only do false stimulates confuse our adrenal glands, but they also dehydrate the body of it's need water! Most people know by now that the body is made of 80% water.  If you aren't getting enough water while also dehydrating it with your food and beverage choices, you should know that your brain cells are going to suffer.  In order to think clearly, your brain needs properly hydrated cells.  If you feel like a wilted flower, it's likely you need to be watered. 

3. Keep your body moving daily for best results. Committing to regularly moving your body will increase your natural energy flow dramatically. You'll notice after about a week that your normal symptoms of feeling sluggish, heavy and stagnant, will begin to shift in incredible ways. Your oxygen intake and absorption will increase, causing endorphins to begin to flow. Don't worry, you don't have to have a one hour power sweating session! Of course, those are great, but simply going for a fast paced walk or doing a series of yoga poses for a good 25-30 minutes, will boost your vitality quite quickly.

4. Get fresh .... with your air, that is.  Find time each day to get out in the fresh air; even if it's raining.  Take the time to breathe deeply and slowly, in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Oxygen brought in through the nose goes more directly into the parts of the brain needed for active and focused thought.  This is an easy tip to implement, and should be done 10 breaths at a time.  

5. Stay in the moment.  Focusing on your past or worrying about the finances or future instead of simply living in the moment your are currently experiencing, causes your stress levels to skyrocket.  Stress instantly depletes your energy, because it releases the hormone Cortisol. Cortisol is big enemy of your adrenal glands.  Too much cortisol release, and your adrenals will totally burn out.  This is very serious and far harder to handle than simply being tired.  To avoid this be sure to continually try to remind yourself to come back to the present moment. The whirlwind of thoughts creating stress and fatigue will decrease, your focus will increase and you will find your energy quickly rebuilding!
