Homemade Shower Vapor Discs
It is that time of year! Winter weather seems to bring with it colds and flu. I suffered from a terrible head cold over the holidays and it was miserable!
I hate having a stuffy head! While I was on the couch in my jammies, I spent a lot of time on Pinterest and came across this fun Homemade Shower Vapor Disc recipe. They really work to clear out your sinuses!
They are both inexpensive and very simple to make!
Here is what you need:
Baking Soda
Water
Eucalyptus Oil
Cupcake liners
Directions:
Place liners in cupcake pan. Mix 3 cups of Baking Soda with 1 cup of water. The mixture should be very sludgy and putty like. Fill the liners 1/2 full. Let them sit and cure overnight. Add 15 drops of Oil to the top of the discs.
Store in a sealed container. I have a jar filled with discs in my bathroom and handy. I also think these would make a sweet gift with some tissue and chicken noodle soup for a sick friend.
I was wondering if it is possible to put them in your bath water.
But what I want to know is if it is 15 drops per disc? Yes these ingredients are safe for bath water.
Do I put 15 drops on each disc? I need these now! My sinuses are acting up again!
Yes, 15 drops on each disc!
OK, I need help….it says “shower” discs. Do you just put them in the shower for the aroma? Does the steam from the shower make them work?
Yep, just stick them in the shower on the floor and the steam dissolves the disc and you inhale the aromas.
Thanks for your reply….I’ve got to try these!
Ooooh, I love eucalyptus oil, especially when I’m sick. I’ll have to make up a batch of these for the next time I’m not feeling well.
Does this make 12 discs? I’m excited to try these. Love how few ingredients it takes.
I’m so intrigued by this idea … can’t wait to try it!
Where did you find your Eucalyptus oil?
I picked up mine at Michaels in the soap making area.
Wait-really? It is THAT easy. And you sure packaged them up pretty too:) I have everything to make this right now and I just may because I feel the colds approaching….
If you get a chance this weekend, I would LOVE for you to link up at Get Schooled Saturday at Too Much Time On My Hands
