How to Make Eucalyptus Chest Rub (Much Like Vicks VapoRub!)* 40 drops essential oil of Eucalyptus
* 10 drops essential oil of Camphor
* 2 drops essential oil of Wintergreen
* 1 drop essential oil of thyme
* 1 ounce Olive Oil
* 1/2 teaspoon Beeswax

Preparation:

Add the beeswax to the olive oil and heat until the beeswax is melted.

Use very low heat or a double boiler to prevent burning the oil.

When the wax is melted, remove the oil from the heat then add the essential oils and stir to blend.

When the mixture is cool it is ready to use. You can make this using only the eucalyptus oil if preferred.

To use rub a small amount on the chest as needed to relieve congestion.

    Thank you for this recipe. While I don’t necessarily use the rubs, I do use the EOs by themselves with much effectiveness. I will try this remedy.

    Do you mind if I share this recipe with my newsletter subscribers? I will certainly include a link back to this website.

    Thanks
