moo vaporub Winter is on its way (although it may be a warm one if this heatwave doesnt end soon) and with winter come colds and flu, snuffly noses and chesty coughs. A common treatment to relieve the symptoms of these winter nasties is vaporub. Vicks Vaporub is the brand we are all familiar with, and most of us have used it and could well have a jar of it in the medicine chest right now. But Vicks Vaporub (and the other commerical brands) contain some things that we really dont need to be using, especially on our children, such as turpentine and camphor set in a petroleum jelly base. Theres not denying the relief and comfort vaporub gives, so instead of using the commercial product, why not MOO it, using safe ingredients? Its easy, so easy youll wonder why you never thought to MOO it before. You will need: 1/2 cup coconut oil 10 drops pure eucalyptus oil Stir the eucalyptus oil into the coconut oil. Store it in a screw top jar. To use: take a small amount of the vaporub and gently massage into the chest or throat. Now this is a MOO, and it is made of safe to use ingredients, but the same cautions must be taken with its use. Its for external use only, do not apply to the inside of or under your nose, dont eat it or apply it to your mouth. Apart from the fact that the eucalyptus will burn, it is an oil based product which could end up in the lungs.
