Who Needs Vick's
For the past few days I've had a sick kiddo. Fever, cough, the whole shebang and to top it off we ran out of vicks. We are big fans of the menthol rub on the feet trick for a cough. Did you know that one, you just rub the bottom of the kiddos feet down with menthol rub, put on socks and instantly no more cough. So I decided to make our own menthol rub.
2oz olive oil
1tbsp beeswax
20 drops Eucalyptus essential oil
Heat the oil and beeswax in a double boiler until it's melted then add the essential oil. Pour the mixture into a jar and let it cool. Once it's cooled slather up those tootsies and enjoy cough free night...I hope.
