Ever been inside a eucalyptus steam room? It is the most devine experience, relaxing in the hot steam breathing in that refreshing eucalyptus and feeling your whole body replenishing itself. You may not have a steam room at home, but you can replicate this effect by adding little essential oil melts to your shower and let your shower steam transform your bathroom into an aromatherapy heaven. Sounds amazing right? Great way to wake up in the morning.

Shower melts are ridiculously easy to make, all you need is baking soda, corn starch, witch hazel water, one or more essential oils, and a silicon mold. Here is my recipe that I use all the time in my own home. Eucalyptus not only smells heavenly, it also helps ease congestion and lung irritation, halts fungal infections, helps you breath easier, repels pests, is anti-microbial, and freshens and purifies the air. If this is not a winter and flu season necessity, I don’t know what is!
