Koalas must have superb respiratory systems

No, I'm serious.  Eucalyptus, which we all know Koalas eat, can keep your respiratory system in check.  On Friday I did a stint in the sauna after finishing up my swimming, and this one other guy brought in a bottle of eucalyptus oil and began spraying it on the walls.  The aroma hit my nostrils instantly.  Eucalyptus oil is one of the ingredients in Defense Soap, so at least I was somewhat accustomed to the overpowering scent.

I asked him about it and he told me that he does it to clear up his sinuses.  After hearing this, a quick search online taught me that it wards off colds, reduces inflammation, and increases oxygen to every cell in your body.  Some people spray it in their house, car, or even on their pillow.

I don't know too much else about this, but I'll probably look into it more.  The man I met said that they keep the bottle in a storage box right outside the sauna, so I'll have to give it another shot next time I'm at the pool.

Spray away,
Jeff
