I wanted to write about Eucalyptus, since it’s so fantastic for using during the winter. Smelling eucalyptus helps to open the sinuses, but research has also found that when sprayed or diffused into the air it actually helps to kill bacteria and microbes in the air. It’s fantastic in a diffuser, but if you don’t have one, adding several drops to a pot of simmering water on the stove is a great idea to get eucalyptus oil into the air and also to add a bit more moisture to the air. It’s also very refreshing when used in the shower and can be really invigorating. Be sure to stop by this month to pick some up, a bottle of eucalyptus oil is inexpensive and lasts a long time!
We’re at 7228 W. College Drive in Palos Heights and have a great selection of 100% pure (and reasonably priced!) essential oils.
