Menthol Crystals Play a Powerful Role in Your Health and Vitality. Here’s Why:

If you or someone you know suffers from muscle pain, allergies, skin conditions, emotional imbalance or respiratory challenges, then this is something you want to know about and get your hands on. There’s a reason the top spas and natural practitioners have been using menthol crystals for so long.  The crystals work hard to support your body’s immune system and natural ability to defend itself and heal.

Menthol crystals generally come from India and are extracted from mint leaves with a gentle freezing process. The properties are so concentrated that just a few crystals are needed  to create very powerful effects. *Just beware. It's important that due to their strength, you may want to wear protective eyewear, gloves and keep the space you are working in well ventilated.  They are easy to inhale in small quantities in steam, but when you are creating a recipe, you'll be working with larger amounts in a dry environment.*

Some of the powerful benefits of menthol crystals are listed below.

• When mixed with a carrier oil or aloe vera gel, menthol crystals can reduce itching.
• Add menthol crystals to your favorite hair oil as a hair growth accelerator! Mix a small amount into the oil and massage on to the scalp before you shower, twice a week !
• Menthol crystals can be used to alleviate nausea, especially when the nausea is due to motion sickness.  This is because peppermint (which is used in making menthol crystals) is a natural carminative herb, meaning it can settle the digestive system.
• Calms sunburns when mixed with aloe vera gel
• Reduce fever by placing a very small amount on the forehead or bottom of the feet.
• Reduces inflammation from a sore throat when applied topically all around the neck. Can be applied directly to cuts, scrapes and bruises to reduce inflammation and irritation.
• For respiratory problems, many people love making their own vapor rub alternative that is more effective and made of safer ingredients with the same cooling/numbing feeling that also opens up the sinuses.
• Sinus Clearing: When your sinuses are really stopped up, just the smallest amount in a little very hot water, will send vapors up into your sinus, clearing them and helping you breath. Just keep your eyes closed to protect them from any chill or sting.
• Used as aromatherapy, the scent can be used to provide relief of stress, anxiety and nervousness.

With that long list of benefits, it’s hard not to be sold on the power of menthol crystals.  We at Eurospa, believe that all people have the right to good health and feel-good living, which is why we provide such high quality eucalyptus and menthol products, such as our eucalyptus oil shower spray and menthol crystals!

If you are looking for new ways to look and be more healthy, adding sauna treatments to your health or wellness routine at home is a great way to start.

Make the most of your sauna experience and enjoy the following benefits!

Pain Management

Heat has an analgesic, or pain relieving, effect due to its ability create more effective blood flow. Painful conditions caused by inflammation such as arthritis and fibromyalgia can be temporarily managed through heat treatments like those found in both saunas and steam rooms. Massaging essential oils, such as peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary or even wintergreen, in small amounts and diluted with coconut oil, on to the muscles before and after entering the heat will further your results even more! For managing pain, saunas may be preferable for people who are negatively affected by humidity as are some sufferers of acute rheumatoid arthritis.

Anti Aging

Due to the increased circulation of the blood, the contraction of the pores and the detoxification involved, saunas are great for restoring a youthful glow to the skin as well and activating collagen and elastin in the dermal layers. You will love the way your skin regains that rosy hue and hydrated glow.

Expectorant

One health advantage that can only be provided through the heat of saunas is the expectorant effect, when adding a menthol based essential oil to the mix, such as eucalyptus oil. These oils thin and open the mucous membranes in your body, including in your sinuses, throat and lungs. If you suffer chronic congestion or sinus infections, using eucalyptus, peppermint and rosemary, can help loosen and clear the mucous from your nose, chest and throat.

Mind and Body Relaxation

We lead stressful lives, so the emotional and physical relaxation that stems from sauna use in irreplaceable. You will begin to add sauna use as part of your regular self care routine, as you notice a calmer response in your mind and body when dealing with everyday stress. Both wet and dry heat simulate sedative effects that generate feelings of calmness and relaxation, and some people who suffer emotional or mood disorder may find relief with regular trips to saunas or even steam rooms.

To increase the benefits of all the above, add menthol crystals or eucalyptus.

Menthol Crystals

Just sprinkle a very small amount on your carpet or add to your oil on a burner or warmer. Always start with less than you think you’ll need. It doesn’t take much to infuse the entire room or sauna with the uplifting scent of menthol. You can also melt the crystals into a mineral oil to use as a bath salt.  Or allow the oil to cool and apply as a paste for sore muscles. When you use menthol crystals, you should start with just 1/4 teaspoon or even a single medium sized crystal, Eurospa menthol crystals are very concentrated. It is better to use too little than too much.

Eucalyptus Mist

This one is so simple, you can even use it in the shower. Just turn on the water and let it get hot before stepping in. Now you spray a few shots of 100% pure eucalyptus oil right into the steam.  For the sauna, simply spray 2 or 3 sprays into the air or onto the rocks, and enjoy. The result is an explosion of invigoration that permeates the shower area and instantly energizes and relaxes your whole body. Breathe the powerful aroma into your lungs and feel it go to work cleaning and providing antibacterial action into your entire respiratory system.

As you can see, the heat of saunas and steam rooms can have added benefits when putting different essential oils into the mix. At Eurospa, we strive to create and distribute the highest quality eucalyptus products possible for home and spa. Your health is our priority. See how we can help you today!

One of the most popular products people enjoy being able to make in the comfort of their home is soap. It's great, because it not only saves money but provides people all with a way to keep clean without covering themselves in so many of the commonly used chemicals found in bath and body care.  

So what makes a good soap? Well soap makers and users alike, all agree that a soap needs to clean efficiently, without drying out the skin or leaving a filmy residue.  But what about bonus effects?

For the overall health of your skin, anything you can do to treat it gently is a very good thing. Treating skin gently encourages normal collagen production, maintains a smooth and radiant surface, and helps skin protect itself from environmental stressors.

For today, though, I want to tell you a simple trick to help you get younger looking, glowing skin.

Face Steaming.  It's a very simple process and one you can easily do a few times a week.

Here's what you need to do:

Bring a pot with 4 cups of water to a boil before reducing to a simmer.

Steep 2 chamomile tea bags for 5-7 minutes before removing from heat.

Remove tea bags and transfer water to a medium bowl. Add a very small pinch of Menthol Crystals. (they are very strong; less is more!)

Hold your clean face 10-12 inches from the bowl with a towel draped over the back of your head to hold in the steam.

After 15 minutes, cleanse your skin and follow with skin-appropriate toner, serum or mask.

With your pores opened, your favorite facial products will penetrate more deeply and work more profoundly. 

You'll notice your skin is cleaner and tingling from the increased circulation.  We would love to hear from you at Europspa!

Menthol Crystals Provide Powerful Lung Support Easily at Home or at the Spa!

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!

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!

Menthol Crystals offer temporary pain relief for sore muscles, providing a local

anesthetic with a cool numbing sensation as it penetrates the skin.  But how do you use them? 

Well, first, a little history.  These crystals generally come from India and are extracted from mint leaves with a gentle freezing process.  

The properties are so concentrated that just a few crystals are needed  to create very powerful effects. *Just beware. It's important that due to their strength, you may want to wear protective eye wear, gloves and keep the space you are working in well ventilated.  They are easy to inhale in small quantities in steam, but when you are creating a recipe, you'll be working with larger amounts in a dry environment.* 

We were blessed to stumble upon these great recipes from Abby Brown Soaps and are now sharing them with you!

Cooling Foot Soak

*Please use gloves when handling Menthol Crystals – as to not transfer from hands to eyes or other sensitive parts of your body.

4 oz Fine Dead Sea Salt
.20 oz Menthol Crystals
40 Drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil
40 Drops Lemon Essential Oil

Add all the ingredients above into a food processor. Mix or pulse until all ingredients are fine ground. Store in jar or zip lock baggy. Clean Food Processor thoroughly.

Please note that the amount of menthol crystals in this recipe are the perfect amount for a foot soak, but will be too strong to be used as a body soak. We recommend 1% or less of menthol crystals in body soaks, as to not irritate or cause discomfort on sensitive areas.

Soothing Menthol Muscle Salve

2 tablespoon coconut oil =1oz
2 tablespoon shea butter = 1oz
2 tablespoon beeswax= 1oz
4 tablespoons almond oil = 2oz
1.2 teaspoon menthol crystals= .2oz
40 drops sweet birch essential oil
30 drops eucalyptus essential oil
20 drops rosemary essential oil

1) Start by measuring your coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax into a small container and melting the oils on low heat.

2) When the oils have melted, remove from heat and stir in the menthol crystals until dissolved. Be sure to keep your face away from the mixture as to not irritate your eyes or nose.

3) When the crystals are dissolved, stir in the almond oil, followed by your essential oil.

4) Pour your mixture into a container with a lid for storage, but allow to cool before capping. Keep in refrigerator to maintain texture and shelf-life.

Massage a small amount onto sore muscles and joints for soothing relief. Wash your hands after and avoid face, eyes, and other sensitive areas. This recipe makes a mild salve that should be suitable for most skin types, even sensitive skin. You may increase the percentage of menthol crystals for stronger potency, but increase slowly to ensure your skin’s tolerance. We have encountered recipes ranging from 3%-20% menthol crystals, this recipe starts at 4%.

Get Glamorously Beautiful and Enjoy Rejuvenating Health with Menthol Crystals!

Menthol Crystals are being talked about more and more these days, but do you really know what they are and how they will benefit you? Originally known as Japanese Mint, the herb was exported out of Japan and into India. Currently grown in northern India, the leaves of this incredible herb contain 70 percent menthol, releasing a powerfully pleasant aroma of mint. The crystals offer the world many ways and applications to take advantage of it's wonderfully healing nature.   

Let's look at a some more information and ways that you can invite this plant's power into your own life, health and home. 

Description

A natural product, menthol crystals  contain and release a cool and refreshing smell of mint. Derived from the extraction of oil from mint, menthol is an herbal compound, formerly known as peppermint camphor. The crystals work well in any product requiring a strong flavor or aroma, with the added bonus of it's ability to relieve pain and soothe the body.

Uses in Health and Beauty:

Menthol's crystals are added to other great ingredients used in cosmetics, creams, toothpaste, dental rinses, cough drops and even shampoos. (Click here for more beautiful skin tips at home!) Because of it's analgesic properties, menthol crystals can relieve body aches and soothe muscle pains.  On a more precise and symptomatic level, the essence of menthol can clear up coughing and breathing problems. Simply place a few crystals in the steam of your shower or steam room and inhale the vapors to clear your sinuses. Rub the crystals along the shower walls and the steam will release menthol while you rejuvenate in the shower. With the combination of the heat and menthol  your sinuses will open, your body aches will be relaxed and throat pain will be soothed. Menthol crystals will also dissolve in alcohol and oil, allowing their strong smell to make them a desirable product for home fragrances and perfumes.

For Use In the Home:

When using menthol crystals at home to prepare various products like a salve or fragrance, always wear a mask. Avoid placing your head directly over the bowl or other container containing the crystals. The smell of 100 per cent menthol crystals is very powerful. Menthol crystals are soluble in alcohol and oils like olive oil but not in water. They melt around 107 degrees Fahrenheit. Ratios of 5 to 20 per cent menthol are common but for home use start with a low percentage until you develop a feel for the potency of the crystals and your own tolerance.

For Topical Use: 

Menthol crystals can be used topically to soothe sore and stiff muscles, but make sure they are diluted with a carrier oil such as olive, coconut or jojoba oil.  Rub the crystals in the carrier, over the area of the skin where the muscles are sore.  The first sensation that you'll feel will be an icy cooling, followed by numbness and partial incapacity of muscle use. This occurs, as the menthol crystals stimulate the nerve endings in the skin, creating that cold and numbing sensation.

At Eurospa Aromatics, health quality is our main priority.  We look forward to hearing from you and allowing us to supply you with our products, which we firmly believe make your members healthier and happier.

Energize Your Morning With Essential Oils as Strong as Coffee!!

Not everyone is a morning person, but most people need to function in the morning for one reason or another.  With that in mind, let's make the most out of those morning blues with these 7 positive ways to create an energized and productive day!

1.  START THE NIGHT BEFORE
Everyone has personal weaknesses in their morning routine, so we want to reduce the confusion and chaos the night before.  For example, gather your clothes (yours and the kids) together and set them aside to save yourself the anxiety of staring into your closet and making those choices in your morning zombie mode.  Then, take some essential oil of lavender with a little coconut oil and massage into your feet.  The oil will be absorbed through your feet and travel to the rest of your body, aiding in added relaxation.

2. BE THE SUNSHINE IN YOUR own DAY
The sun is going to rise regardless of what side of the bed you choose to wake up on.  And, yes I said "choose".  I know you might be tired (maybe go to bed earlier?) or dreading the day ahead but only you can decide how you feel about your day and whether your fears or frustrations will rule you. When you wake up - just smile.  Even if you feel stupid and inauthentic, smile anyway and keep it there.  While (possibly staging) you grin, think of everything you love and are thankful for.  Life can be crazy but it doesn't mean YOU have to be.  So make a different choice.  You be the sunshine!

3. PRAYER and STILLNESS
Find a quiet place in your home (especially helpful for parents) that's free from distraction, but not in your bed.  Turn on some relaxing music, read or just sit in the stillness. Take one, then two, then ten deep breaths.   This is your opportunity to set your daily intention for a peaceful and productive day.

4. GET MOVING
It's common knowledge that physical activity is important for both your mind and body, but it can be really difficult to find the time to fit it in to our busy schedules.  If you can go for a run or stop by the gym first thing in the morning, great!  If not, make a plan to implement a small routine into your morning so you at least set a pattern and habit to care for your mind and body which will in turn, not only set up your day with energy but also the rest of your life.

5. WAKE UP WITH WATER
Inside and out is best! Make sure to drink a glass of water, as the hydration really does wake up your cells and start your day with a metabolic cleansing.  Then head to the shower.  Turn up the heat and let your muscles both relax and rejuvenate! Add menthol crystals to the shower steam as well to further awaken and even reap the health benefits!  Menthol crystals open up your bronchial passage ways, allowing you do breathe deeper  and get more oxygen to your brain. More oxygen to the brain means more clarity and mental peace.  These crystals will add a great vibrance to your day!

6.  BODY FUEL
Some people are morning eaters and some are not.  Meet with a nutritionist or do some research and try to hone in on what your particular body type is.  Some people are the hot tea and toast type and others are the full spread of fruit, bacon and eggs.  Whatever feels best and fuels you for the next couple of hours should be considered your energy spark for the day and committed to. When you take time to eat a balanced meal, you are giving your body the fuel it needs for everything else.   Chinese medicine states that the morning meal is the fuel your body pulls from most, the rest of the day. Only the oiled machine can truly perform!

Going Somewhere? Have Your Skin GLOWING in Less than an Hour!

Grabbed your attention with that one, didn't I?  That's because you deserve to look incredible at any age, for any occasion. When you have a big event or are going somewhere, being told that your skin can be glowing in less than an hour can seem far fetched but it's entirely possible and true!
It's so easy to be discouraged when we know we need to (or want to) look our best but see an image far from youthful or glowing in the mirror. From our diets and stressors to locations and energy levels, life can really take a toll on your skin.



We can all agree to that when we first wake up and take a look in the mirror with the drooping skin reminding us of both gravity and the progression of time.

But can we beat this natural progression.....naturally?

I am happy to say that while we may not be able to beat it entirely, we can slow it down with these simple and easy to implement tools and habits.  Choose them all or the ones that feel right and watch your metamorphosis take place!

Ready?  Let's do this.

1. Water :  I can't stress this aspect enough.  You know that feeling that overcomes you around 3 or 4pm when you just feel like a wilted flower?  Well, logic tells us that when a flower wilts, there is a need for some serious hydration.  You can have all the sun you want, but in the end, it's the water that provides the supple life vibrancy in plants, animals and humans.  Try to get 60 to 80 ounces a day for best results.  Pound down some H2O and watch the dark circles get lighter and skin get tighter.  Drink to your health.

2. Baking Soda Scrub:  It's crunch time and the day has taken it's toll on your skin.  If you've worn makeup, massage a little olive oil to remove it, and then sprinkle some baking soda onto your finger tips.  Massage *gently* in small circular motions, avoiding the more sensitive eye areas.  Rinse with warm water and then splash your face a few times with the cold stuff.  Your circulation will thank you and your skin will be silky soft!

3. Egg White Mask:  This tip is one of my favorites.   What you will need: a little bowl or dish a fork, 1 egg white and a lemon wedge.  Put the white in the bowl and add the lemon wedge juice, whipping it gently with a fork until the vitamin C creates little foam bubbles.  With your fingers or a paint brush, gently spread the mix along the tops of your cheeks, chin, nose, jaw and across your forehead, avoiding the eyes entirely, as lemon juice is not a friend to our eyes!  It may begin to itch or feel tight.  It could run a little.  I suggest laying down in a hot bath as it sets and dries.  After about 10-15 minutes, take a wet cloth and wipe off the mask, starting at the top and working your way down.  Add your favorite moisturizer and presto! You look incredible.

5. Steam: Go traditional and simply add our eucalyptus shower spray to one pint of steaming water in a large bowl or pot. Lean over the container, covering your head with a towel and allow your face to take in the steam for 5-10 minutes. (Alternatively, while your in the bath, add it to the bath water) This supports the skin's natural self cleansing functions, opening pores and reducing buildup and eruptions.


You are now fully equipped with some natural remedies to revive that youthful glow that loves to shine through you!  To enhance your experience further, please visit us at Eurospa to find out more about our menthol crystals and eucalyptus products for home and spa!  We look forward to serving you! 

NEW NATURAL SECRET to BREATHING BETTER and have BEAUTIFUL GLOWING SKIN!

Are you one of the lucky ones that experiences either chronic or acute nasal congestion? If you're experiencing nasal congestion, morning sneezes, or any nose blockages - the good news is YOU WIN!! Sinus problems happen for many reasons; some of which include air conditioners, pollution, genetics and more.

Regardless, if you have had the 'pleasure' of this untimely gift, you know it's not only a miserable feeling but can turn your whole day upside down, as breathing can be difficult. Regular lung cleansing may be the solution you've been looking for as it is helpful to many respiratory ailments.  Since we are always breathing, clogged sinuses and congestion in our lungs are conditions we can't so easily ignore! And when those pathways become hindered, the only things we are desperate for are some efficient inhalations. Good thing is, that menthol crystals are able to provide a significant amount of relief, as menthol reduces broncho-constriction and hyper airway responsiveness. 

Products intended for lung cleansing, that contain menthol crystals have shown to provide incredible relief for the tiresome symptoms of upper respiratory complaints, congestion, sore throats and even coughs.  You may have noticed that the leading brands of lozenges, drops and balms usually list menthol as their main ingredient.  So, it's no surprise that inhaling the vapor and scent of menthol crystals leave you almost feeling their power as they break up congestion, clear pathways, cooling the burn and soothing irritated membranes. This is so helpful and holds it's worth in the relief alone! 

Are you intrigued?  Ready to know how to use them?

What's great, is that since the crystals are so concentrated, you only need a small amount each time!

Here's what I want you to do:   

Fill a bucket or a pot with about 1/3 of steaming hot water. (if you want to do all of this at the stove, keep the temperature at medium or less as too high of a boil will be too hot for your skin.) Put about 3-4 menthol crystals into the steaming water. Grab a towel and cover your head and the pot with it, leaving space for fresh air to find it's way in. Then, breath in and out deeply.  You may find that it's hard to breathe in the menthol steam, especially if you have a lot of stubborn congestion. But still try to stick to it for about 15 minutes or until you couldn't take it anymore. (Turn on some relaxing or revitalizing tunes and let it all go!) Once you, or the steam is done,  unveil yourself from the towel and take in few fresh breaths,  allowing your body to cool down to let your breathing return to normal.  Next?  Blow your nose. Blow everything out! But keep in mind not to press on one side of the nose while blowing the other side. Just blow it out naturally and with ease from both sides at the same time. Your head will feel lighter and the nasal pathways more clear. If you got deep enough, you should even feel the mucous in your lungs clearing up as well!

As far as timing goes, if you are able do it every night before bed, it will help you in getting a better night sleep. Over time, you will get so much out that you may even clear your sinusitis one day!

I did mention beautiful, glowing skin, didn't I?  I know it got your attention and I'm happy to tell you...  You have just opened the pores of your skin, sweat out impurities, infused your cells with anti-microbial super powers (thank you menthol crystals!) and added to the supple, youthful glow that we all desire!

Don't worry!  You can have and easily afford your own crystals from Eurospa! We are thrilled to be bringing such goodness and freedom to your day!  Get your own menthol crystals, breathe clearer, look great and then tell us what you think!
