Natural Homemade 'vicks vaporub'

This is my homemade DECONGESTANT CHEST RUB recipe that will also help to clear your head when you are suffering a cold.

This is a wonderful balm for applying on your chest, neck and back if you are starting to get a cold and want to clear your airways. It is stimulating, awakening and could help with headaches too. All three essential oils boost our immune system and fight off infections. They are strong antiseptics and Lemongrass is one for the strongest prophylactic agents which helps to stimulant the body’s natural defense mechanisms. Together Peppermint and Lemongrass will restore focus and clarity stimulate and revive the mind, alleviate nauseous symptoms including stuffy heads and headaches, clear the breathing pathways and work to remove excess mucous.
