What makes hiking and walking therapeutic is the connection that is created between us and nature. Based on several studies and experiences, walking amidst trees relieves anxiety and stress in addition to other benefits. The wind blows between on our skin, the aroma of different plants, and the pleasant landscape helps create a balance in the body. Each plant has a unique feature; some are known for their scent, some for their flowers, some for their bark.
Eucalyptus is the most abundant flowering tree that appears with its silver and green leaves. It is known and identified for its menthol-like scent, which makes it useful for various reasons. Eucalyptus leaf extracts helps the skin to stay hydrated and moisture dry skin. The lipid found in the cell membrane is called Ceramides (aka fat molecules) in the skin that helps retain skin moisture and keep its proper function.
Eucalyptus’s topical application with its intense aroma tingles the skin, nose, and mouth. Generally, it helps with respiratory health, earache, sinus and allergies, natural cleanser, wound care, gives energy, clarity, and focus. Eucalyptus can also be used to decorate houses, offices, and surroundings while enjoying their benefits.
