The next time you head to Trader Joe's to get your delicious kitchen essentials [1], don't forget to pick up a bunch of dried eucalyptus. Use the rubber band that it comes with to attach it to your shower head, and you've got yourself an earthy DIY [2] aromatherapy treatment at home!

Just step into the hot shower, close your eyes, and allow the steam to envelop you while activating the invigorating eucalyptus scent [3]. It helps wake you up and simultaneously wash your mind with a sense of calmness [4] and joy. Breathing in eucalyptus can also help clear your nasal passages (perfect for cold or allergy season [5]). Plus, it just looks so pretty!

Change out your bunch every three to four weeks, or sooner if your eucalyptus loses its scent. You could also get your eucalyptus at a flower store or farmers market, but you can't beat the Trader Joe's price at $3 a bunch.
