I just discovered this nice alternative recipe for a home-made version of “Vicks Vapo Rub” over at Gardentherapy.ca
What’s great about this recipe is that it uses all natural / vegetable-based ingredients, plus beeswax… and nothing petrochemical: The “real” Vicks contains some petrochemical ingredients which some may wish to avoid due to uncertainty over how healthy these substances are.
I looked around online for the recipe for the “real” Vicks VapoRub and Wikipedia has it: It contains “special petrolatum” (petrochemical) and “spirits of turpentine” (potentially petrochemical) – in addition to Camphor (Cough suppressant and topical analgesic), Eucalyptol (Cough suppressant), Menthol 2.6% (Cough suppressant and topical analgesic), Cedarleaf oil, Nutmeg oil and Thymol.
The “alternative” recipe contains olive oil, coconut oil, grated beeswax and essential oils (eucalyptus, mint, lavender, rosemary and camphor).
Also, there’s nothing to stop you making your own “custom” blend including your favorite essential oils!
The recipe is effectively a “therapeutic” version of the all-natural solid perfume recipe I posted a few weeks ago.
Note that Vicks VapoRub is undoubtedly a trade mark and so if you are making these recipes for distribution you will need to call it by another name 😉
Below is the link to the full recipe including instructions and amounts of all ingredients:

😳 Tinnitus And Brain Health?
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.
Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…
Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat
By Mike Westerdal CPT
Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?
This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)
Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.
If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
Is it...
a) Abs
b) Chest
c) Glutes
d) Hip Flexors
