Immune Foot Rub
Immune Foot Rub
With the changing weather and spending more time indoors, it’s that time of year when it seems like everyone is getting sick.
a cough here
a sneeze there
feeling sluggish and worn out
No thank you! I think I’ll pass.
To keep my family feeling great and boost our immune systems, we make an extra effort to eat right, sleep well, and not get overly stressed this time of year.
1) Melt 2 Tbsp beeswax in heat-safe glass bowl/measuring cup set inside a pot of simmering water. Melt beeswax over medium heat. Stir occasionally. It will take about 15 minutes to melt beeswax. Make sure beeswax is completely melted, otherwise the beeswax might partially re-solidify, making the foot rub grainy.
2) Add 1/4 cup coconut oil (I use the solid, not fractionated) and 1/4 cup olive oil to the melted beeswax. Continue to heat through until everything is melted.
3) Once completely melted, remove the beeswax and oil mixture from the heat. Allow it to cool for a few minutes. After the oil/wax mixture has cooled for a few minutes, add the following essential oils and stir well.
30 drops lemon essential oil (Citrus limon)
25 drops frankincense essential oil (Boswellia carterii)
25 drops tea tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
15 drops eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus radiata)
10 drops cinnamon essential oil (Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
10 drops rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis)
Note: this is a lot of drops of essential oil (115 to be exact), but because it is being diluted in 1/2 cup of oil, it is only a 5% dilution. For occasional use by healthy adult.
4) Pour the mixture into containers (I like to use 2 oz mason jars) and allow to cool and solidify before putting on lid.
How to use essential oil immune-support foot rub
- We apply a pea-sized amount to the bottom of each foot and rub it in. Covering with socks is optional.
- We apply this to our feet at bedtime.
- When others around us are sick, we apply both morning and night.
- We also do this extra morning dose before and during potentially stressful events like traveling, holidays, big tests, and hectic times at work.
