How to use

Shower Head

  • Buy 1 Eucalyptus bunch
  • Grab 2 rubber bands and cut each one in half.
  • Tie together the ends of 3 branches (1 bunch) using one of the rubber bands.
  • Use the second rubber band to tie the bunch to the top of your shower head.
  • Place close enough to the water spout, but not quite drowning in water, to avoid mold and leaves falling everywhere.
  • Replace the eucalyptus bunch each week

Floral Arrangement

  • Buy 1 Eucalyptus bunch and place in a tall glass vase
  • Eucalyptus is a pretty inexpensive branch, making it easy to keep in the house every week
  • Unlike most flowers or floral arrangements, Eucalyptus keeps fresh, so you’ll likely only need to buy new bouquet once every 2-3 weeks

Natural Air Fragrance

  • With gloves, remove the leaves of your Eucalyptus branches
  • Place in a small pot of water and bring to a boil
  • Stir occasionally, until scent is strong
  • Remove pot from stovetop, walk around your living space with the pot emitting the freshly boiled Eucalyptus scent
