Homemade Vicks shower disks

YES!!! I was hunting for something like these all last winter...homemade Vicks shower disks. If you are congested, pop one in the floor of your shower, let thesteam do it's work! Vicks Shower Disks: -Baking soda -Water -Essential oils: eucalyptus, rosemary, and lavender. -Muffin tin -Muffin liners 1) Add baking soda to a mixing bowl. I don't really measure. Maybe 2-3 cups? 2) Slowly add water until you've made a thick paste. add just a little water a time. You'll want the mix to feel like putty. 3) Add 15 drops of each essential oil:: eucalyptus, rosemary, and lavender. 4) Spoon in to a muffin tin, and let sit out for 12-18 hours. You can also bake these, but I just left them out overnight. 5) Pop these suckers out of the paper liner, plop it in your shower, and let the essential oils steam away your stuffy nose. Put them anywhere on the floor of the shower; it doesn't matter where! For anyone who is having issues with these being "crumbly", try using 1 cup of baking soda and 1/3 cup of water (plus maybe a few tbsp more) and baking for 20 minutes at 350. THEN add a few drops of each essential oils to the cooled "puck".
