Homemade Respiratory & Decongestant Balm (Easy & Quick).

Fortunately, there is an ultra easy recipe to make your own respiratory balm without harmful products.

No more buying Vicks Vaporub!
To use this homemade balm, nothing could be simpler.

Why does it work?
Shea butter is the base for homemade Vicks. It is gentle on the skin.
Eucalyptus essential oil unclogs the respiratory tract and has an anti-bacterial action.
Lavender is also anti-bacterial, but also has a soothing virtue to help you get a good night's sleep.
Finally, pine essential oil is expectorant, anti-bacterial and invigorating. It therefore stimulates healing.
By combining all of these effects, cold symptoms will not last long!
Precautions
This homemade Vicks Vaporub recipe is not suitable for pregnant women, children under 10, and people with allergies to essential oils.
