Chest Rub with Essential Oils

Essential Oils

Combine 4 easy ingredients to make this wonderful chest rub for yourself or the kids.

When the winter rolls around, the kids are usually the first people to bring home the chest congestion, snotty nose and ugly cough – especially if they are in school with other children.

Having a really nice rub for their chest can help them sleep better, breathe easier and support a healthy respiratory system. Chest rub is super easy to make at home (making it a huge plus, too!)

With just a few simple ingredients, you can pull off your own.  Although you can add several oils to your chest rub for greater support, we opted for R.C. Essential Oil because it’s great to support healthy respiratory congestion (R.C.).

We feel comfortable applying this to our upper chest, and neck when we need a little extra support.

Combine 4 easy ingredients to make this wonderful chest rub for yourself or the kids.

One of my favorite ways to use R.C. beyond this chest rub is to fill a bowl with hot water and add 2 drops of R.C. – place a towel over my head and breathe in the steam solution.

RC Essential Oil:  A blend of Cypress, Spruce and 3 types of Eucalyptus Oils – which include the constituent Limonene. Rub on your feet or chest to uplift and inspire your respiratory system.

Combine 4 easy ingredients to make this wonderful chest rub for yourself or the kids.

If you have kids, you can make this chest rub pretty easy on your own – just a few simple ingredients in a ratio of 1:2:2 (beeswax : coconut oil : shea butter), and add your essential oils at the end.

  • Beeswax:   Helps encourage new cell growth while also protecting the skin, locking moisture in.
  • Coconut Oil: Fights off infections and supports healthy skin while also serving as a deep moisturizer
  • Shea Butter: Moisturizes, protects, and helps support new skin growth.
  • RC Essential Oil: Wonderful for supporting healthy respiratory function.

Homemade Chest Rub

This recipe made a 4 oz jar:

  • 1 Tbsp Organic Beeswax Pellets
  • 2 Tbsp Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Organic Unrefined Shea Butter
  • 25 drops RC Essential Oil (we use Young Living)

To make: In a glass canning jar, mix the shea, coconut oil and beeswax in the microwave, 25-30 seconds at a time until melted. Carefully remove from the microwave and let sit for 1-2 minutes.

Add the Essential Oil and pour into your jar – allow to sit until cooled, avoid touching the top with your fingers.

We pick up our jars at Abundant Health – you can, however, use Ball Canning Jelly Jars,too.

The final chest rub will be thick .. yet just soft enough to slather on their chest and neck before they lay down. The beeswax gives it a firmer texture, so you can leave it sit in the bathroom or in the bedrooms without it losing its firmness.
