Make It: Homemade Vicks Vapo Rub

Make It: All Natural Vicks Vapo Rub

With cold and flu season here and running a home daycare we get exposed to sickness often. It helps that there are many things we can do to make being sick a little easier. One of those things is homemade all natural Vicks Vapo Rub, which we all know is awesome for a cough and congestion.

I found this recipe here at Garden Therapy, an awesome Blog.



Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup grated beeswax
  • 35 drops eucalyptus essential oil
  • 30 drops mint essential oil
  • 15 drops lavender essential oil
  • 15 drops rosemary essential oil
  • 10 drops camphor essential oil
Directions:
Melt the oils and wax over a double boiler. Stir in essential oils. Pour into metal tins and let set. Re-melt to add more essential oils if you want it a bit stronger. 
So easy and no chemicals, pretty awesome I think :)
