1. Work with a clean and sterilized glass jar. First wash the glass jar carefully and then boil it for about 5 minutes. Remove the jar from the boiling water with a clean fork and turn it upside down on a clean tea towel or napkin. Let dry completely before making the Vicks.
2. First mix all the essential oils together by dripping them into the glass jar and then gently turning them back and forth between your palms (so don't shake).
3. Then add the 2 tablespoons of oil, screw on the lid and turn the whole thing back and forth between your palms as well. Place the mixture in the refrigerator. The cold will ensure that the liquid oil becomes a hard substance and is easy to spread.
