Homemade Vapor Rub


Well along with giving my daughter my just made Elderberry syrup from yesterday, which was so strange because she got a sinus cold or allergies shortly after I made it so it was almost like I was meant to make it, I also threw together a vapor rub for her as well.

Ingredients


  • 1 oz of beeswax
  • 1 cup of Dandelion Oil or any infused oil you want to use for the skin. I wanted something sensitive enough for her but great for the skin.
  • About 10-15 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil (this has a wonderful menthol property and is great for chest rubs
  • A couple of drops of Peppermint oil just to make it a little pleasant for her and for the nasal opening properties this has as well.
  • A couple of drops of Vitamin E oil

Directions


  1. Pour you infused oil in a glass bowl over boiling water or a double boiler and add beeswax. 
  2. Heat over medium heat until wax is melted. 
  3. Remove from stove and add in all remaining oils and stir well.


   4. Immediately transfer into containers. For me it made two 4 oz. containers.
   5. Wait for salve to set before applying lids.
