Homemade Vicks

Vapor Shower Discs

I found this great recipe for discs that dissolve in the shower and give off the same aroma as Vicks does. They sound like a fabulous idea for the next time I am congested. Here is the original recipe: Homemade Vicks Vapor Shower Discs

Add 1 cup baking soda to mixing bowl.

Slowly add enough water to form a thick paste, about 1/3 cup.

Add 15 drops each of Eucalyptus, Rosemary and Lavender Essential Oils.

Pour into cupcake wrappers. I highly suggest using the silicone pans. It is a lot easier to remove them from the silicone. Let them dry for 12-18 hours. You can also bake them at 350 degrees for 20 minutes to speed the process up, but they are not as pretty that way.

 Ingredients:
1 cup baking soda
1/3 cup water
15 drops Eucalyptus Essential oil
15 drops Rosemary Essential oil
15 drops Lavender Essential oil

All of these oils can be found in Vapor Rub and Disc Kit at PinSupplies.com. You can use the same essential oils to make you own Vicks vapor rub too.

Vicks Vapor Rub

Add 1/4 cup virgin olive oil and 2 tsp Beeswax pellets to pan. Heat on low heat until wax is melted.

Remove from heat and add 30 drops Eucalyptus, 25 drops Rosemary and 15 drops Lavender.

Pour into 4 oz jar and allow to cool about 1/2 hour. It will harden and become a nice rub for the next time you need your sinuses cleared out.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup virgin olive oil
2 tsp yellow beeswax pellets
30 drops Eucalyptus Essential oil
25 drop Rosemary Essential oil
15 drops Lavender Essential oil


These ingredients are not recommended to be used on children under 2, pregnant or nursing moms or anyone that may be allergic to lavender, eucalyptus or rosemary.
