For lung congestion a salve or a massage oil containing essential oils can be rubbed over the chest, back and throat. The oils will be absorbed through the skin and lungs as the vapor is inhaled. Place a flannel fabric on the chest after rubbing in the oil to increase warmth. Commercial “vapor balms” still use derivatives of essential oils (or their synthetic-oil counterparts), such as thymol from Thyme and Menthol from Mint, in a petroleum ointment base. Natural alternatives are also sold in natural-food stores.
Vapor Balm
* 2 teaspoons Peppermint oil
* 3 teaspoons Eucalyptus oil
* 1 teaspoon Thyme oil (chemotype linalol is best)
* 1 cup Olive Oil
* ¾ ounce Beeswax
Melt Beeswax into Olive Oil over very low heat. Cool a bit, add essential oils and stir. (Be sure to keep your face away from the oils as you stir them in.) Allow to harden.
Store at room temperature.
