Self-Care Saturday

Join OFPL on Facebook, @galluplibrary or YouTube on Saturday, September 11th at 1:00 PM to make a DIY Icy Hot with Essential Oils self-care product.

Watch our previous self-care workshops on YouTube to boost your mental, emotional, and physical health. Ingredient list is available below:

Icy Hot with Essential Oils

Ingredients:
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup shea butter
• 2 tablespoons beeswax pellets
• 45 drops camphor essential oil
• 35 drops peppermint essential oil
• 20 drops eucalyptus essential oil
• 25 drops cinnamon essential oil
• 15 drops clove essential oil
• OPTIONAL: 1/4 teaspoon calendula oil

Instructions:
1. Melt the olive oil, shea butter and beeswax pellets in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in the microwave.
2. Once completely melted, let it sit for a few minutes to cool slightly. Then add the essential oils and stir to combine.
3. Pour the mixture into a lidded jar and let harden in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Notes

• To use, massage a small amount of muscle rub onto the affected area.
• Feel free to sub out the essential oils or add any other oils you’d like. For a vegan balm, use candelilla or carnauba wax in place of the beeswax.
• The rub will solidify over time, but you should be able to soften it with your hands prior to applying. If you’d prefer a smoother texture, re-melt the mixture and add more olive oil.
• Store in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
