DIY Eucalyptus Shower Steamers Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup citric acid
- 2–3 tablespoons water (in a spray bottle)
- 10–15 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- Silicone mold (ice cube tray works great)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix baking soda and citric acid.
- Slowly spritz with water while stirring (don’t soak it—just enough to hold shape).
- Add eucalyptus essential oil and mix well.
- Press mixture firmly into molds.
- Let dry overnight (or 12–24 hours).
- Pop out and store in an airtight container.
How to Use:
Place one steamer on the floor of your shower (not directly under the water stream, but close enough to get splashed). As it dissolves, it releases a refreshing eucalyptus aroma into the steam.
