friendlyMOM Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I was wondering if it was possible to make your own rub like vicks. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephD Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I honestly don't know but had to post that I got a sample of a eucalyptus (sp?) FO from BCS and when you open it to smell it, it will knock your socks off! Definitely a vick's smell! I'm gonna test it in my melts and wait until one of us in my house has a cold and see if it helps! lolStephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Monkey Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I could swim in a vat of that stuff! I just love the smell. I'm keeping an eye on this thread, hopefully someone will have an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativemoms Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I would also love a recipe for thisJen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I make some. I use unpetrolium Jelly (also called nature's jelly. And add a vicks fo. I forget where I got it but it works great. But also you can use the Nature's jelly with a few drops of eucalyptus eo, mentholated crystals, and a few drops of peppermint eo. You have to use the eo's for this to work . You do not need much for it only a drop or 2 of each per oz. You can make your own Jelly there are a few recipes on the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYJen Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 The Candle Source has a great Vicks FO. Making the unpetroleum jelly would have been my suggestion as well, but I've never made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
