How to Make a Knock Off Vicks VapoRub!

Hello Mister Winter!!! And of course we can’t forget to say hello to his relatives Cold and Flu. Now that it is cold and flu season we’re going to give you a recipe that will help “prevent” you from getting any nasal congestion, cough,  sore throat, or any aches and pain. We say “prevent” because that we don’t want you to wait until your feeling so sick that you can’t even get out of bed to start feeling better. We want you to enjoy the holidays with your family rather than being sick feeling miserable, tired, cranky, sad, or depress. This recipe is the knock off cold, cough, nasal congestion, sneezing, aches and pain so you can rest medicine.

40 drops essential oil of Eucalyptus
10 drops essential oil of Camphor
2 drops essential oil of Wintergreen
1 drop essential oil of thyme
1 ounce Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Beeswax

Preparation:

Add the beeswax to the olive oil and heat until the beeswax is melted.

Use very low heat or a double boiler to prevent burning the oil.

When the wax is melted, remove the oil from the heat then add the essential oils and stir to blend.

When the mixture is cool it is ready to use. You can make this using only the eucalyptus oil if preferred.

To use rub a small amount on the chest as needed to relieve congestion
