Natural Vapor Rub Recipe
1/2 cup olive oil, coconut oil, or almond oil
2 TBSP beeswax pastilles (level, not heaping)
20 drops of eucalyptus oil (use only 4 drops for use on babies and young children)
20 drops peppermint oil (substitute 4 drops fir essential oil for use on babies and small children)
10 drops rosemary oil (omit for use on babies and small children)
10 drops cinnamon or clove oil (optional – omit for use on babies or small children)
Vapor Rub Instructions
Melt beeswax with oil of choice in a double boiler until just melted.
Add the essential oils (use half the amount for a baby version or dilute with coconut oil before using)
Stir until well mixed and pour into some type of container with a lid to store. Small tins work well, as do little jars. I also always make a few in empty lip chap sticks to keep in my purse or to use on baby feet.
Use as needed to help reduce coughing and congestion.
