Now Why didn't I think of that?

It is common in Italy to find fresh sprigs of Eucalyptus casually tied on to shower heads. When you take a hot bath or shower, the steam will release the eucalyptus oils. Eucalyptus is a natural decongestant, taking a shower with one can help to clear up sinuses and loosen cough.

or so they say

Building forts in the eucalyptus trees around the perimeter of the nearby orange grove. Then coming home...and barely making it through the door before Mom grabbed me and threw me in the tub. EVERY damn time!
