First off, this is strictly my experience on hanging eucalyptus vs. lavender. There are benefits to having plants in your bathroom in general, which is the next topic I am going to be looking into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eucalyptus was the first of the two I decided to try. It is known for its soothing properties and helps with congestion and inflammation. For $2.99 at Trader Joe&#8217;s, I decided to give it a chance. It was pretty easy to hang up all you need is a rubber band. Now I had this up for about a week and a half, and I can say that I feel like this does work pretty well. In the first 1-2 days, I could smell it pretty well in my bathroom. The rest of the week, I could see only when the shower was on, and I was standing close to it. I read online that to help release the scent; you can hammer out the leaves on the plant. Personally, I didn&#8217;t try to so that I can&#8217;t comment there. My younger brother and I do share a bathroom and he told me he did feel less congested which I think is huge for a guy to notice something like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of the lavender, I found some fresh lavender at my local Fresh Market. It was excited to try this version out because I am a huge fan of the scent. This was an epic fail. First of all, After the first day, I couldn&#8217;t smell anything unless I was right under the plant. Secondly, the petals of the flower would fall off into the shower with the Eucalyptus plant that did not happen once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall I would recommend the eucalyptus over the lavender, but if you expect this to be some magical way to clear serious congestion or something like that, then don&#8217;t try it. If you want to try to relax more and are looking for a lesser alternative then using essential oils,  I would give this a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This trend has been all over my Instagram feed for months before I decided to give it a try.
