As a child, I remember Vicks Vapor Rub. Do you? While I was checking my Facebook page, I found this recipe for Homemade Decongestant Chest Balm recipe that one of my friends posted. So if you are in need of a decongestant, instead of purchasing one how about making your own?

About Me
- Soap Crafter
- United States
- I have a B.A. in Mass Communication and took my first melt and pour soapmaking class in 2002. Since then I got hooked making my own bath and products. I have taken various courses in Soapmaking (Melt & Pour, Cold Process, Hot Process), lotion making (lotions, creams, lotion sticks), bath products (bath salts, body scrubs), body products (lip balm, body butters, body balms, whipped butters) and more. Most of all of my classes were taught by Lori Nova of The Nova Studio in Point Richmond, Ca. I have taught courses since 2004 at various locations. I have worked as an Event Coordinator at Michaels Redwood City.

The actual Vicks contains turpentine *(yuck!) I had read somewhere once that Bitter Orange essential oil was a great substitute for turpentine in blends like this. I have added a little to my natural 'vicks substitute' in the past with great results.
I always loved the smell of Vicks. But now that I know that then I do not like it so much. Thanks for the info.
