Homemade Chest Rub

Pin to Pinterest

Always consult your doctor before use or intake. I am not a doctor or medically trained physician.

We are still in the cold and flu season and while I have nothing against modern medicine and we use medicine when needed I prefer to keep chemicals to an absolute minimum. So one thing I can do is replace over the counter items for symptom relief with my Young Living Essential Oils, Juice Plus+ and other chemical free items. While I love the benefit of chest rubs, the chemicals…not so much. So I used a fabulous trifecta of oils to create the same thing minus the icky stuff – Lemon, Eucalyptus, and Peppermint.  These are great for the Winter and Fall Season!

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 8-10 drops Eucalyptus essential oil
  • 8-10 drops Lemon essential oil
  • 8-10 drops Peppermint essential oil

Directions:

  1. Stir coconut oil and essential oils together until very well mixed. You can do this by hand with a spoon or spatula, or with a hand or stand mixer.

To Use:

  1. Apply to chest, below nose and alongside nose- take care to avoid eyes. I also suggest putting this on the bottom of your feet and then slipping on some socks – trust me!

This rub is safe to apply as needed throughout the day.

I recommend storing in a glass jar like a small mason jar because lemon will break down plastic and release toxins into your mixture. This mixture will melt in hot temperatures, I keep mine in the bathroom and it has only softened very little.

    Wonderful idea! Would this recipe be safe for the kiddos to of would you use less of the essential oils for them? Thanks for sharing! I have a little one with a cough that I am wanting to try this out on!

    Can you use anything in place of coconut oil? (I’m allergic to it)

      any oil will work – olive oil, vegetable oil, almond oil, argan oil, hemp seed, grape seed, etc

    There are 3 different types of eucalyptus in Young Living. Which do you use?
