To make a bouquet for your shower:

⚪️Gather the branches with the cut ends down.
⚪️Clear the stems. Remove leaves from the bottom of each branch so that you have room to tie them together.
⚪️Cut string or twine to approximately 24 inches long. Longer is better; too short, and it’ll be difficult to tie the bouquet and hang it on your showerhead.
⚪️Wrap the string tightly around the stems. Tie the branches together, right under the leafy part, so that the bare stems are below the twine. You may want to wrap a rubber band around the stems to temporarily hold them together while you secure the string around them.
⚪️Use the ends of the string to attach your eucalyptus bouquet to the showerhead or another part of your shower. Make sure to tie it securely.
⚪️Position the bouquet so that it is not directly under the water stream.
⚪️Replace the bouquet every 3 weeks or until you no longer smell eucalyptus.

Where can you find fresh or dried eucalyptus branches?

These can be found rom a florist or at grocery stores where floral arrangements are made.

Brain injury recovery isn’t a destination you arrive at… it’s a journey you learn to navigate day by day. Progress isn’t always visible, and setbacks are part of the path. Healing, adapting, and rediscovering yourself takes time. Each step forward, no matter how small, is growth, resilience, and proof that you’re still moving ahead.
