Homemade Vapor Shower Disks






vicks
 This DYI is great for the Winter Season, however, now we are in Spring of 2013, but many still have the sniffles, or getting over those winter blues and this DYI Vapor Shower Disks is perfect to kick out any upper respiratory that is still lingering....


Plus this beats the cost of actually buying one from Vick's Vapor (very expensive)!!

You need:
-Baking soda
-Water
-Essential oils: eucalyptus, rosemary, and lavender.
-Muffin tin
-Muffin liners
Directions:
1) Add baking soda to a mixing bowl.
2) Slowly add water until you’ve made a thick paste. Updated to add: add just a little water a time. You’ll want the mix to feel like putty.
3) Add 15 drops of each essential oil.
4) Spoon in to a muffin tin, and let sit out for 12-18 hours. You can also bake these, but I just left them out overnight.
5) Pop these suckers out of the paper liner, plop it in your shower, and let the essential oils steam away your stuffy nose. Edited to add: put them anywhere on the floor of the shower; it doesn’t matter where!

[New Post] DIY Mineral Bath

 
bath
Mineral baths are great way to get a relaxing, health-enhancing, stress dissolving soak. Warm spring therapy is a pleasant treatment for muscular skeletal problems, as well as for high blood pressure and eczema.

In addition, science has promoted that soaking in a warm mineral spring can lessen arthritis pain, and soothe discomfort associated with Fibromyalgia.

If you don’t live close to a warm mineral spring or just prefer to bathe at home mineral bath salts are easy and inexpensive to make.

A mix of Epsom and sea salt can be used with borax, baking soda, sesame oil, and essential oils to create your own personal soak. Save in a glass jar and use about 2tbsp of this mixture to dissolve in hot bath.

1 1/2 cups sea salt
1 1/2 cups sea salt
1 cup Epsom salts
1 1/2 cups borax
1 1/2 cups baking soda
1 cup sesame oil
100 drops, total, essential oils

I love this! It's easy, simple and DIY!
I do recommend Pinking shears  so the fabric does not come unraveled.
