I’m one of those sensitive types, so I’m always experimenting with making my own projects. A real DIY kinda girl. This salve is soothing, easy to make and quite enjoyable to use.
Ingredients
Melt in Pan – low heat
Pour Into Glass Container
Where to buy good quality oils?
Ingredients
3 TB coconut oil
5 TB almond oil
1 TB beeswax (where to buy)
25 drops eucalyptus essential oil
10 drops each of essential oils: peppermint, lavender, and rosemary
5 drops tea tree essential oil
Instructions
In a saucepan, over low heat, add the coconut oil and almond oil. Melt.
Once melted, add the beeswax. Melt some more.
Remove the pan from the heat. Allow the mixture to sit in the saucepan for 5-8 minutes. This will allow the mixture to cool so the oils aren’t damaged.
After 5-8 minutes, add the eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, rosemary, and tea tree oils to the coconut oil mixture. Combine with a spoon.
Pour the mixture into a glass jar. I use a mason jar. This recipe will make approximately one 4 oz. jar of vapor rub. As the mixture cools the liquid will solidify, making it a creamy, spreadable rub.
Variations
Substitute or add a few drops of black pepper essential oil
Decrease tea tree oil and increase lavender
If you’re not a DIY kinda person, consider buying my NEKID Salve and adding your own essential oils.
