Do you suffer from allergies or become congested really easy and use an over-the-counter medication for relief? Many products like vapor rubs work well, but contain all sorts of additives. A better solution is to make a natural product like a DIY vapor rub.


Making your own DIY vapor rub at home is really easy to do. In fact, you will only need to have a few ingredients on hand. The main ingredients are coconut oil and essential oils. Double up on the batch, if you need think it might get used a lot. A lip balm jar is perfect for a container.

The best thing about a DIY vapor rub is it does not contain any chemicals like petroleum. All you need to do is apply a small amount on the chest or on the bottom of the feet. You might need to add more oil if the vapor scent seems weak. Instructions to make your own DIY vapor rub are available on slightlysteady.com here...
