Incredibly Healing Natural Remedies Mom Would LOVE to Have.

There's a lot of talk about different home remedies and the moms out there can become overwhelmed with their options. That's why YOU are amazing and finding out all the information FOR her, today.


You're so kind.

Essential oils make the perfect gift for Mother's Day this year, as they will not only help her feel like a queen, but also increase her immunity and ease common everyday discomforts!Here's the thing.  Did you know that the pharmaceutical companies create their top medicines from the active healing properties of plants?  (then they take them to a lab and add a bunch of chemicals and additives that are totally unnecessary and further damaging to your health...but that's another story) For now, I want to focus on the alternative options you can gift mom with this year.  Because she deserves it and you love her. Right?


Peppermint:  First of all, peppermint is absolutely incredible. The essential oil of this miraculous herb is so multi-functional.  It calms the digestive system, fires up metabolism, eases tension and boosts your energy! People have compared used this oil in place of over the counter stomach relievers/antidiarrheals, energy drinks and even pain relievers!  Simply place a few drops on your forehead, temples, around your belly, on your shoulders and even on the bottom of your feet!  You'll be surprised at the results.

Lavender: Lavender is one of the best oils you can keep on hand. In addition to its incredible scent, it addresses a spectrum of benefits from easing pain, calming the nerves and anti-viral to fight germs, bacteria and viruses.  People have replaced anti-biotic ointments, pain relief meds, sleep aids and muscle rubs with the oil of this incredible plant.

Lemongrass: This is a great one for it's scent and uplifting nature!  It can be combined with all the other oils I'm suggesting to you. Not only with it's smell but also for it's healing benefits! Lemongrass has long been used in Asian and Caribbean cooking due to its subtle lemony flavor and aroma. It shouldn't surprise you then, at this point, this plant oil is anti-viral, uplifts moods, calms the nerves, great for jet-lag and even as a bug repellent! For topical use, make sure you mix 1 -2 drops into about 1TBSP of coconut oil, as the oil can be too strong on the skin.  Just mix and rub on needed areas or diffuse in a room to breathe in it's benefits.

Eucalyptus: Our absolute favorite, of course, is Eucalyptus, for it's incredible power to fight and kill viruses, germs and general illness when inhaled in natural air or steam.  It's essential properties go into the body and open up bronchial and nasal passages, all while beating the illness living in them.  Relaxing, energizing and healing - this oil in spray form can be used as a room spray, home cleaner and sauna/steam room enhancer.  It's a necessity in any conscious mother's medicine bag.


I hope that helped give you a few more ideas to prepare for Mother's Day. It's coming soon, so make sure you are prepared to give her a gift she absolutely deserves.  From all of us at Eurospa, Happy Mother's Day.

Don't Stress! Making Natural Cleaning Supplies at Home is Easy!


clean your home with non-toxic cleaning supplies you can make yourself easily and simply with baking soda, vinegar, tea tree oil and eucalyptus from Eurospa
You may think it takes too much time and effort to make your own natural cleaning supplies at home, but it's easier than you realize and studies show us that toxic, conventional cleaning supplies are bad or your health, your child's health and the health of the planet.  

The truth is, these recipes are simple and you will feel great peace of mind knowing that you are bettering the overall health of your home.  We've gathered the ingredients needed for you to make the most basic, natural multi-purpose cleaning supplies, quickly and convenient for your busy schedule. 

Ready for it?

Here's what you're going to need: 


  • baking soda
  • white vinegar
  • lemons
  • castille soap
  • essential oils (lemon, tea tree, lavender, thyme, eucalyptus & orange are all options)
  • spray bottles


For the Windows: For those that love vinegar, you're going to love this one. You just mix 3 tablespoons of vinegar with 2 cups of water into a spray bottle (bigger jobs - 1/2 cup V to 1 gal of H2O) and spray right on to your windows. Is this effective?  Yes. Does it smell good? No. If you can't handle the smell, a mix of lemon juice and club soda will do the trick just as well. Do make sure that if you use lemon juice, you use lint free cloth like newspaper to wipe them down with.  (you can also add a little lemon juice to the vinegar solution as well, just avoid pulp) 

All Purpose Germ Killer: This one is easy. Mix 2 cups of water with a few drops of castille soap and about 15 drops of your chosen essential oils. You can spray this on all kinds of surfaces in your home from changing tables  and fixtures to counter tops and walls. Just don't use it on glass, because the soap will make it streak.  Additionally, you can use our own Eucalyptus Shower Spray, not only to enrich your shower experience but also to cleanse the air by spraying it into the air and on to surfaces.

For the Toilets:  Everyone's favorite place to clean right?  This one is simple.  You can take some of the window cleaner you made (preferably with the lemon juice) and spray generously around and inside the toilet.  Then sprinkle some baking soda on top of it and let it sit for about 10 minutes.  Come back, scrub and watch it shine!

Prevent Mold: Mold is incredibly dangerous for you and your family and once it starts, it's extremely hard to get rid of!  So start with prevention.  Take a spray bottle with 2 cups of water and add about 5 drops of tea tree and thyme oil to the bottle.  Spray on walls, in closets, in bathrooms and behind furniture and then wipe down.  The anti-septic and anti-mircrobial nature of tea tree and eucalyptus oil will combat the mold before it really has a chance to take over. 

At Eurospa, your health is our priority.  We want you healthy on the inside and out.   We hope you enjoyed this list and would like to invite you to experience our Eucalyptus Shower Mist & Menthol Crystals for an even more enhanced, natural health experience!
