I shouldn't have bought so much $2)<br /> Oils $6 each (used maybe 1/8 of each so $3) </p> <p>This made like a half of that jar you see so total cost around $6? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-vicks-vapo-rub#post-1548711 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:44:37 +0000 regberadaisy 1548711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice! You'll have to let me know if it works with your LO. I use Maty's all natural chest rub which has basically the same ingredients. </p> <p>How much did this make and how much would you estimate it cost? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-vicks-vapo-rub#post-1548646 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:07:45 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1548646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tonight I finally got around to making my own baby Vicks rub. </p> <p>I did a basic version of this recipe to try first before I invest in more oils. <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/3527/natural-vapor-rub/" rel="nofollow">http://wellnessmama.com/3527/natural-vapor-rub/</a></p> <p>Ingredients:<br /> 1/2 cup coconut oil (found at Walmart)<br /> 2 Tbsp beeswax pastilles (ordered from Amazon)<br /> 20 drops eucalyptus oil<br /> 20 drops peppermint oil<br /> Container for storage </p> <p>I didn't have a double boiler so I used a regular pot of water with a glass Pyrex bowl on top (I also saw you could use a glass measuring cup). I melted the beeswax and coconut oil in the double boiler. Then added and stirred in the oils. Carefully I poured the mixture into a leftover glass jar we had.</p> <p>So far I love how it feels! </p> [attach=1506/14/n3l4gz.450x600.image.jpg]
