Up Nature Eucalyptus Oil 4 OZ

I have started to explore all the great things that essential oils can do. I have great plans for this eucalyptus oil. First thing on my agenda is to make some homemade shower melts. It smells great in the bottle but I want to do something that will help with clearing sinuses especially during cold season. I currently have a cough and I placed a few drops on a cotton ball today and smelled it though out the day and I feel it helped with my breathing and cough. 

I've been looking around the internet for a DIY recipe for shower melts and there are so many to choose from.  I think I have narrowed my choice down to this:

Ingredients

• 1 cup Baking Soda
• 1/2 cup Sea Salt or Epsom Salt
• Up to 2 teaspoons of water
• Essential oils: I used 20 drops each of Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lavender, Rosemary and Lemon (any combination of these would work)
• 1 teaspoon powdered menthol crystals (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine baking soda, salt/epsom salt and mix well until combined.
2. Spray or drop small amounts water into the mix and stir until you get the consistency of slightly wet sand.
3. Mixture should hold together when squeezed without crumbling but should not appear wet at all. You may need to add slightly more water if it hasn’t achieved this consistency yet.
4. Once you get this texture, add the menthol crystals and the essential oils and stir to combine.
5. Quickly push mixture into silicon molds, greased muffin tins or any other greased container. Press in firmly and leave at least 24 hours (48 is better) or until hardened.
6. When dry, remove and store in air tight container.
