Coconut Chest Rub

Coconut Chest Rub

 

When cold strikes many people reach for the Vicks and slather it on their chest. Admittedly, Vicks does seem to work, but it also contains turpentine and petroleum products which are not good for us.
Instead whip up this super simple chest rub made with coconut oil and essential oils.



Ingredients

-1 heaping spoonful extra virgin coconut oil, in solidified state
-3 drops eucalyptus essential oil
-3 drops lemon essential oil
-3 drops peppermint essential oil


As always, remember to keep essential oils out of the reach of children, and try to use organic ingredients when you can.


Method

1. Mix them together in a small pot and rub into your chest and upper back.

2. If it's coldish in the house (say, less than mid-20c C or 60s F) you can keep this out at room temperature. Otherwise, put it in a cool place (like the fridge or entryway) so the coconut oil doesn't liquify.
