FAQ:
Q: Can I use this on my face or under my nose?
A: Avoid applying near the nostrils or eyes — the menthol can be irritating. Stick to chest and upper back areas.
Q: Is this safe for children?
A: Use with caution. Always consult a pediatrician before using essential oils or menthol-based rubs on young children.
Q: Can I make it without Vicks?
A: Absolutely! You can skip the Vicks and still enjoy a soothing homemade version with essential oils alone.
Q: Can I eat this or use it in food?
A: No! This is a topical product only. Vicks and essential oils are not food-safe ingredients.
