Double boiler
Spoon
Containers for the balm I used 1 oz. glass ones this time around, but you can choose a smaller size and break the amount up to make more containers.

2 tbsp. Coconut oil
2 tsp. jojoba oil
1.5 oz. beeswax If you can buy local beeswax, it’s better for seasonal allergen relief.
10 drops rosemary essential oil
10 drops peppermint essential oil
12 drops eucalyptus essential oil

Set out your containers first and have them all ready to be filled, so you aren’t scrambling to do that when the wax is perfect, or you can run the risk of burning it and losing its properties.
Put your coconut and jojoba oil into a medium pot on medium heat.
2 tbsp. Coconut oil, 2 tsp. jojoba oil
Add the beeswax, stirring until completely melted.
1.5 oz. beeswax
Remove from heat & allow to cool slightly. Do the spoon test. Adjust as needed.
Add your essential oils, stirring well. Rosemary tends to be a thinner oil, so multiple drops can come out quickly!
10 drops rosemary essential oil, 10 drops peppermint essential oil, 12 drops eucalyptus essential oil
Pour the mixture into your containers. It’s good to let the balms sit for a few hours to harden fully; the middle can stay warm for much longer than the outside and it will form moisture inside the container if you close it up too soon.
Cover with a lid, and add a label if desired. You can use any size container, but I like these smaller ones for gifting purposes.
To use: Apply a small amount to the chest, neck, or under the nose, as well as on the bottoms of the feet. Great to use before bedtime and then put on your socks over top to keep it in place!
