Sharing this recipe again, as we move into "flu" season here.
Homemade Vapo-Rub
1/4 cup organic coconut oil
2 tsp. beeswax
35 drops of eucalyptus essential oil, organic
15 drops peppermint essential oil, organic
15 drops rosemary essential oil, organic
Using organic ingredients, melt coconut oil and beeswax in a double boiler. Remove from the stove and add the remaining oils. Pour into a sterilized jar and allow to cool.
Hint: I used a recycled 2 oz. glass baby food jar. This recipe fills the smaller baby food jar nicely.

Note: you can make this with organic olive oil too, but it will be a much softer consistency. You can also use different essential oils to your preference.

I'm bookmarking this post (as I do with so many of your others) and may even get around to making our own vapo-rub later in the season. Hubby and I rarely (knock on wood) have a need for such, but our daughter gets a stuffy/yucky cold a couple/few times a year.
Mama Pea, I first made it with organic olive oil, but in hot weather it gets very soft. The coconut oil keeps the firmer texture, which I like. So far it's worked very well.
Good to have a recipe for Vaporub - good to have with winter coming for chapped skin, stuffy noses and such, especially with how high the price of Vick's has gone in the stores, up to $5-6 a jar some places.
(Hint: It's still $1 a jar at Dollar Tree).
God bless.
