Tonight I finally got around to making my own baby Vicks rub.
I did a basic version of this recipe to try first before I invest in more oils. http://wellnessmama.com/3527/natural-vapor-rub/
Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut oil (found at Walmart)
2 Tbsp beeswax pastilles (ordered from Amazon)
20 drops eucalyptus oil
20 drops peppermint oil
Container for storage
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.
So far I love how it feels!
