Eucalyptus oil, historically used as a germicide, works wonders in clearing away congestion as well as sinus aches and pains notoriously coinciding with all this rainy weather we are experiencing. An essential oil derived from Eucalyptus flowering trees and shrubs, mostly native to Australia. Eucalyptus oil is readily steam distilled from the leaves and can be used for cleaning, deodorising, and in very small quantities in food supplements, especially sweets, cough drops and decongestants. It also is an active ingredient in some commercial mosquito repellents as it has insect repellent properties.

Since Eucalyptus has so many wonderful properties, you can imagine my excitement to discover a product that allows me to honestly recreate my own personal steam room right in the bathroom of my own home. The product guaranteed to coincide with the senses of well being and rejuvenation? Vickery & Clarke’s Natural Apothecary Eucalyptus & Peppermint Cold & Sinus Soak. Self described to soothe the discomfort associated with body aches and pains,  when faced with a minor cold over the weekend, this product cleared me right up preparing me to go about my day.

Winner of the 2009 CEW Scented Bath & Body Mass Award, this soak is, MMmMMMmm eucalyptu-liscious, and a must have for your beauty arsenal. 

Have  an Honestly Beautiful Day,
