Homemade Vick's Rub

Recently, my whole family came down with a bout of winter colds...yuck!
Instead of running out to the store for some Vick's Rub, I figured it would be easy enough to make some myself.

After a few attempts, here's what I came up with.

What You'll Need:

2 tsp. grated beeswax
1/4 cup olive oil
25-35 drops peppermint essential oil
15 drops eucalyptus essential oil
10-15 drops rosemary essential oil (This can be omit from the mixture if you don't have it on hand)


Simply put the beeswax and olive oil in a heat proof glass bowl and heat it up over simmering water (on the stove). Once he beeswax is melted, remove from heat and add the essential oils.



Once it is mixed, pour into resealable containers and allow to cool.



Use the mixture the same way you would use Vick's.
