Many of us think about the benefits of what we eat. However, we don’t always consider our environment.

Feng shui has long been at the heart of interior design, and most people know that including plants indoors can be a source of well-being. Some plants can even make us live longer!

Why hang a eucalyptus plant in the bathroom?

Did you know that hanging eucalyptus directly above your shower could have unsuspected effects on your body?

Eucalyptus is much more than a decorating trend, as it can very well increase our well-being in the rooms we place it in. Thanks to its numerous properties, this plant offers a lot of health advantages that deserve to be looked at and added to your routine.

Eucalyptus contains natural essential oils that have beneficial properties. To release them, the plant needs to be in a humid and steamy area. Thus, it is not surprising that the bathroom should be its ideal place. This room has the perfect balance of humidity and warmth to benefit from this plant the most.

How to hang eucalyptus in your bathroom?

In order for it to release all its natural oils, it needs to be hung head down with a string, right over your shower head. With the steam, eucalyptus will release a relaxing fragrance throughout the entire room.

Smell it by inhaling slowly; It’s extremely useful for a stuffy nose. In people with asthma and who regularly have difficulty breathing, eucalyptus will also help.

In addition to these benefits for the respiratory system, it will also feel like you are having your shower in nature — which, if you ask us, is very nice and invigorating.

You can also add a few branches of lemongrass or lavender to create your very own at-home aromatherapy session!
