Better Than Vicks Homemade Chest Rub

Fall has arrived, and you know what that means - Cold & Flu Season is officially here to ruin the party!

Let's consider replacing over-the-counter medications with natural alternatives this year. Are you aware that a healthier equivalent to Vicks can be created at home using just a few basic ingredients?

This homemade Vicks rub utilizes coconut oil as the base, which is known for its moisturizing and antibacterial properties. The addition of eucalyptus essential oil helps clear respiratory congestion and improve breathing, while peppermint essential oil provides a cooling sensation that can relieve headaches and muscle aches. These essential oils combine to create a powerful, natural remedy. I like to add Chamomile and Ylang Ylang to mine to promote relaxation.

The great thing about homemade Vicks rub is the customization aspect. You can adjust the strength and combination of essential oils to suit your personal preferences and needs. If you find eucalyptus too strong, you can reduce the amount or add other soothing oils like lavender or tea tree. This flexibility allows you to create a product that works best for you and your family!
