Ingredients to make your own natural remedies for cough and cold:

Remember that this recipe may help to relieve chest congestion and cough but is not a cure. Be sure to see your doctor for severe colds and coughs.

1 cup Coconut Oil
20 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil (click here for my advice on purchasing essential oils for less)
10 drops Peppermint Essential Oil

Instructions:

Start with 1 cup of coconut oil in a mixing bowl.

Add in 20 drops of Eucalyptus Oil and 10 drops of Peppermint Oil.

Then mix well.

You will want to store this mixture in a container with an airtight lid. My favorite, of course, is a mason jar! Be sure to also store in a cool, dry place with no direct heat or sunlight.

When ready to use, rub on your chest, neck, or even your feet. This is a great vaporizing rub for helping you to sleep at night even when congested. I love anything I can make with all natural ingredients I have on hand already. Natural remedies for cough and cold are hard to come by!
