This is so nice to make during cold and flu season. It's great for other things as well. It's works beautifully as a moisturizer for hands and feet during the winter months. It is great for back aches and sore and tired muscles. Makes a nice gift. The ingredients are so soothing and natural and easily absorbed into the skin. So much better for you than similar, store bought, petroleum-based products! Enjoy!

How To Make eucalyptus-menthol-peppermint balm

Step 1

Place your tins in an accessible space on your counter with the lids off.

Step 2

Heat water in the bottom of a double boiler.
Step 3

Add jojoba oil and beeswax to the top portion of a double boiler. Stir until the beeswax has completely melted into the oil.
Step 4

Remove from heat.
Step 5

Add essential oils and stir.
Step 6

Pour into tins.
Step 7

NOTE: you can use coconut oil or olive oil in this recipe, but I like the jojoba best. It has the least amount of extra scent to it, and seems to absorb more completely into the skin.
