When you're feeling under the weather, a hot shower can be a great source of comfort. Enhance this experience by incorporating the revitalizing scent of Eucalyptus essential oil.

Materials you'll need:

Instructions:

  • Start your shower as you normally would, adjusting the water temperature to your preference.
  • While the shower is running, sprinkle a few drops of Hohm Eucalyptus essential oil onto a damp washcloth or sponge.
  • Hang the Eucalyptus-infused cloth within arm's reach but out of direct water contact.
  • Step into the shower and let the steam fill the bathroom, releasing the aromatic support of Eucalyptus into the air.
  • Throughout your shower, take deep breaths and inhale the refreshing Eucalyptus scent.

The combination of the warm water and the soothing aroma of Eucalyptus will remind you to breathe deep and relax.

Sweet Orange, French Lavender, and Frankincense Steam Inhalation

Steaming is a classic way to get aromatic support at home, and it's a perfect choice for sick days. To elevate the experience and enhance the soothing aroma, you can use a blend of Sweet Orange, French Lavender, and Frankincense essential oils.



Here's how to create a calming steam inhalation session:

Instructions:

  • Boil a pot of water and let it cool slightly for a minute or two. You want the water to be hot but not scalding.
  • Carefully pour the hot water into a large, heatproof bowl.
  • Add a 3 drops of each essential oil to the hot water. Sweet Orange, with its uplifting and fresh scent, complements the calming and soothing notes of French Lavender and Frankincense.
  • Position the bowl on a stable surface, like a table, and sit comfortably in front of it.
  • Lean over the bowl and drape a towel over your head, creating a makeshift tent. Make sure the towel drapes down to the sides to trap the steam effectively.
  • Close your eyes, inhale deeply, and allow the fragrant steam to envelop you. Take slow, deliberate breaths and focus on the soothing aroma.

This steam inhalation session with Sweet Orange, French Lavender, and Frankincense will help you focus on relaxation so your body can focus on healing.
