DIY Eucalyptus Shower Melts

Enjoy an energizing spa day at home with our DIY Eucalyptus Shower Melts. Eucalyptus Essential Oil is an easy way to refresh and invigorate for a morning boost while enjoying the benefits of aromatherapy. Plus, eucalyptus is an invigorating, herbaceous essential oil great for boosting energy by stimulating the brain and enhancing focus. While these melts can be customized with any Paradise Springs Essential Oil (try Rosemary Oil for focus), we think Eucalyptus Oil is perfect for starting the morning energized and refreshed.

Benefits of Eucalyptus

Originally native to Australia, Eucalyptus globulus is a native evergreen shrub. Its leaves (which are cultivated and steam distilled to make eucalyptus oil) naturally contain constituents known as 1,8-cineol and α-pinene. These constituents are used therapeutically in aromatherapy to boost energy, promote concentration, and even help clear sinuses, which can make this a great oil for changing seasons. These DIY shower melts are great for enjoying the benefits of eucalyptus oil through steam inhalation- perfect for the quick morning routine!

What You'll Need:

• 1 cup corn starch
• 2 Tbsp water
• Mixing bowl, spoon 
• 10-15 drops  Organic Eucalyptus Oil
• Silicone molds

To Make

• Combine the Organic Eucalyptus Oil and corn starch in a bowl, mixing well.
• Add 2 Tbsp water. Mix until clumps begin to form, then slowly mix in more water until you have a smooth paste.
• Place the mixture in the molds, smooth, and freeze for one hour.

Use & Storage

To use, gently peel the mold off the melt. Place the melt on the floor of the shower in a shallow dish near the drain to keep your shower floor from getting slippery. Enjoy the aromatherapy benefits of invigorating Organic Eucalyptus Oil.
