Lately, I’ve become very fond of two essential oils: lavender and eucalyptus. Before bed, I put a few drops of lavender essential oil on my pillow. While waiting for sleep, I enjoy the scent and let my feelings sink into a happy, comfortable state. I often use eucalyptus when I’m feeling under the weather, whether it’s a headache, bloating, or the flu.

This habit is a recent development. Previously, I preferred perfumes with rich, expensive scents. The more expensive and unique the scent, the more prestigious it felt. I used essential oils only to freshen up my living room or bathroom. Meanwhile, I rarely used eucalyptus. I considered it to be an oil for older people.

This habit has just now become part of my daily life. Both eucalyptus and lavender provide a calming effect that perfume or other fragrances can’t. Their scents are deeply ingrained in my soul. Now, they’re a regular item on my shopping list.

In fact, I’ve long been a fan of natural scents derived from plants. In my front yard, I planted ylang-ylang and eucalyptus trees. I cut the ylang-ylang flowers, which have a strong scent, and the eucalyptus leaves, and put them in small bags. They create a fragrant aroma in my living room.

I live in a hot-weather city, and there aren’t many fragrant plants/flowers here. How fortunate you are to live in an area with so many fragrant flowers. I can only imagine how cheerful your mood will be among such plants.
