Expectorant homemade balm

In case of cold and very stuffy nose it can be helpful to use a homemade balm to rub on the breast during the night to help breathing:

 Let 50 g (1.76 oz) of shea butter (kairite) melt in a bain-marie. Add 3 tbsp of olive oil, 20 drops of eucalyptus essential oil and 20 drops of mugo pine oil.
Let it cool and keep into a hermetic glass pot. Rub on the breast and cover with a wool cloth.

The drops of these essential oils can be used for fumigations in a basin of hot water: 3-4 drops of each one and a pinch of salt to keep heat; or in aerosol machines. In this case two drops are enough.
