Homemade Vapor Rub Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 20 drops of peppermint essential oil
  • 14 drops of lavender essential oil

How to Make Homemade Vapor Rub:

1. First, put ¼ cup of coconut oil into a small bowl. You want the coconut to be solid in form, so place it in the fridge if it has warmed up too much.

2. Next, add 20 drops of peppermint essential oil, and 14 drops of lavender essential oil to your coconut oil in the bowl. You can add more of either essential oil if you prefer to make the scent stronger.

3. Mix the contents together well, and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour before use.

How to Use Homemade Vapor Rub:

Use like you would any other chest rub, such as Vicks Vapor Rub. Simply massage a small amount of the essential oil vapor rub onto the chest until it is absorbed. You can also use a dab of the rub under your nose as well.

Store your homemade vapor rub in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

NOTE: Not for use on children. (I am by no means an expert on essential oil safety so to be on the safe side here I am recommending this vapor rub be used on adults only.)
