If you are anything like me your allergies can hit at any second and leave you with tears running down your face, itching and sneezing! I dont know about you but I think that it is one of the WORST feeling ever! I found this recipe and I am SO HAPPY that I did! These little sticks are a miracle worker, They calm my eyes and stop the running and sneezing within seconds! I always have one of these on hand. I just upcycled old lip balm tubes that I had saved. It made about 4 tubes. If you try these let me know what you think! Enjoy!
Allergy Relief Sticks
.1 ounce beeswax pellets
1/2 tsp coconut oil
1/3 tsp oil (olive, grapeseed, almond,etc)
Lip balm tubes
*Peppermint oil-has a great cooling effect, opens airways, fights infection,relieves headaches, and has an excellent anti-inflammatory properties
*Eucalyptus oil-fights congestions, headaches and respiratory problems
*Lavender oil-acts as a natural antihistamine, has calming properties
I use double boiler method: I put beeswax, coconut oil and vegetable oil together in a small pan. Then take a frying pan, pour some water in it, put it on medium heat and place my small pan with oils and wax into the water. Once beeswax melts, I add essentials oils, mix everything together and pour the mixture into the tubes. Then I put the tubes into the fridge for a few hours to harden.
