Homemade shower discs:

Place a disc on your shower floor and as the water slowly dissolves it, the essential oil vapors combine with the steam to relieve cold symptoms:

Ingredients

• 1 cup baking soda
• 1/3 cup water (enough to make paste)
• Eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a mini-muffin tin with foil liners. Mix the baking soda and water together to form a thick paste. Pour into cupcake tin. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Top with one drop each of eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint essential oils.
