Why Hang Eucalyptus in Your Shower?
Hanging Eucalyptus in your shower is a way of enjoying the benefits of aromatherapy—using natural scents to enhance your physical and mental well-being.
The practice of hanging eucalyptus in the shower became popular in recent years, thanks to social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
Many people shared their experiences of how eucalyptus enhanced their shower experience and improved their mood and health.
Hanging eucalyptus in your shower is like using an essential oil diffuser.
When you put essential oils into a diffuser, the steam breaks down the oil into smaller, breathable molecules. The steam from your hot shower does the same to the eucalyptus leaves.

How to Hang Eucalyptus in Your Shower
Hanging eucalyptus in your shower is incredibly easy.
All you need is a bunch of fresh or dried eucalyptus branches, some twine or string, and a pair of scissors.
Follow these steps:
- Cut the stems of the eucalyptus branches to your desired length. You can use one or more bunches depending on how full you want your shower bouquet to be.
- Tie the stems together with twine or string, leaving some extra length for hanging.
Find a spot in your shower where the eucalyptus will not get wet directly from the shower head. You can hang it from the shower rod, the faucet, or a hook on the wall.
The heat and moisture from the shower will activate the eucalyptus oils and release their aroma into the air. - Enjoy your aromatic shower!
You'll feel like you're in a natural sauna, surrounded by the refreshing scent of eucalyptus.
How Long Does Eucalyptus Last in the Shower?
The lifespan of your eucalyptus bundle depends on several factors, such as:
- The quality and freshness of the eucalyptus.
- The temperature and humidity of your shower.
- The frequency and duration of your showers.
- The exposure to sunlight and air.
Generally, fresh eucalyptus can last for about a month in the shower, while dried eucalyptus can last for up to three months.

If you want to extend the life of your eucalyptus in the shower, try these tips:
- Mist it with water every few days to keep it hydrated.
