DIY ALLERGY SOOTHING BALM ⬇
All three of the essential oils used to make this balm are antiseptic, antiviral, and antibacterial. Use this balm to soothe runny noses, headaches, and coughs.
THINGS YOU NEED:
(makes 2-4 small balm tins)
- 5 drops of Peppermint EO
- 5 drops of Lemongrass EO
- 5 drops of Eucalyptus EO
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp. cocoa butter or shea butter
- 1 Tbsp. beeswax pastilles
DIRECTIONS:
- In a double boiler, melt the coconut oil, cocoa butter, and beeswax in a heat resistant container with a pouring spout. A glass measuring cup with spout would work.
- Add the drops of essential oils and stir until runny and completely melted.
- Pour into tins or small jars.
- Let sit on the counter until set.
- Keep in cool environment and rub under nose, on the chest, and on your temples when you feel allergies or a cold coming on!
HOW TO CLEAN OFF WAX:
- Fill a pot with enough water to cover item being cleaned.
- Bring water to a boil.
- Place item in the boiling water.
- Boil until the beeswax melts.
- Remove it from the water and immediately wipe off with a paper towel. Be very careful.
- If it still feels waxy wipe down with a small amount of vegetable oil.
- Then wash with hot, soapy water.
- DO NOT POUR WAX DOWN DRAINS.
