This season brings holiday cheer, but it also brings coughs and sniffles. When illness keeps passing from person to person in the same household, it is time for some serious antibacterial cleansing.
This spray is ideal for toilet handles, light switches, doorknobs, phones, and anything else that is frequently touched by everyone in the home. While this is primarily an antibacterial spray, the orange oil lends some anti-viral action, as well!
You will need:
1/2 cup distilled water
1/2 cup vodka
25 drops sweet orange oil
15 drops lavender oil
15 drops eucalyptus oil
Mix well and store in a spray bottle. Shake prior to use.

baby vapor rub
While standard eucalyptus vapor rubs are reliable and safe ways to promote clear breathing, they are not suitable for children under the age of two. This whole herb option is much more gentle and still brings about soothing relief. For babies 6 months and older, up to 1/2 teaspoon can be applied to the chest.
You will need:
.25 ounces eucalyptus leaves
.25 ounces peppermint leaves
2.5 ounces coconut oil
.5 ounces beeswax
Combine the herbs and coconut oil in an oven-proof bowl or jar. Heat the oven to 300 degrees, then turn it off. Place the herb and oil blend into the oven. Let sit for 3-4 hours, then remove. Strain out the herbs, then pour the infused oil back into the oven-proof container. Add the beeswax and return to the oven until beeswax has melted. (Reheat the oven, if necessary.) This should only take about 5-10 minutes. Pour into the container of your choice and cool to harden.
