You can tailor your aromatherapy vapor rubs to suit your exact needs and include your favorite scents and lotions.

Inhaling therapeutic oils from a vapor rub is one of the most effective ways of relieving the symptoms of colds and flu and tackling minor respiratory infections.

A blend of warming, expectorant essential oils in petroleum jelly, ointment or in a vegetable carrier oil will help to ease congestion. The addition of antiseptic oils such as myrrh and tea tree will help to combat the secondary infections that come with a cold, including bronchitis and sinusitis.

Vapor rubs applied to the throat, neck and chest are particularly suitable at night-time. The decongestant vapors in the rub are released through the night, aiding a restful sleep. Add some stimulating oils for a daytime vapor rub.

Headaches and nervous tension also benefit from vapor rubs. Apply the rub to the temples and forehead in order to ease the muscles, adding relaxing, pain-relieving essential oils.

Vapor rubs are very useful for children who are prone to respiratory infections. A little vapor rub on the chest will help them breathe easily and will ensure a good night's sleep for both children and parents.

Neutral carriers are needed for vapor rubs to allow the vapors to come through unimpeded.

• Petroleum jelly: This is derived from mineral oil and because it's not easily absorbed by the skin, it's suitable for application around your delicate nostrils.

• Natural ointments: These provide a neutral, unscented and uncolored base, for example, grapeseed oil.

• Carrier oils: Unrefined vegetable, grapeseed, olive or nut oils are suitable for chest rubs. Jojoba oil makes a non-greasy base for vapor rubs for the forehead and temples.

Vapor rubs are very simple to prepare and enable you to blend essential oils that you can use to treat specific ailments and complaints.

Best oils to use:

• Asthma: clary sage, cypress, eucalyptus, frankincense and marjoram.
• Chesty cough: Cedarwood, clary sage, eucalyptus, ginger, myrrh, pine and tea tree.
• Hay fever: chamomile, eucalyptus, pine and rose otto.
• Sinusitis/catarrh: cajeput, Cedarwood, eucalyptus, lemon, rosemary and tea tree.
• Headaches: chamomile, lavender and peppermint.
• Insomnia: chamomile, lavender, jasmine and ylang ylang.

Petroleum jelly rubs:

• Place 2g of petroleum jelly in a small heatproof basin and then place in a pan of water. Gradually bring the water to a boil and turn down the heat. Simmer gently until the Vaseline has melted.

• Remove from the heat and add 10-15 drops of essential oil, stirring to ensure even dispersal.

• While still in liquid form, pour into dark sterilized glass bottles with tight screw-fitting tops and store in a cool dark place until required.

Oil-based vapor rubs:

• Blend 20-30 drops of essential oil with 50ml of sweet almond or grapeseed oil in a small bowl. Store in a dark glass bottle. Use this to massage the temples or the neck and throat.

• Caution: Some oils can irritate the skin if in high concentration, especially if you have sensitive skin. It's wise to do a patch test first on a small area of skin, especially if the rub is to be applied to the nostrils, neck and throat areas.

For children:

• Children benefit from vapor rubs, but you should reduce the concentration of essential oil in the blend. Vapor rubs are not suitable to very young children, who may suck off the rub.

Quick aromatic ointment rub:

* Simply add up to 20 drops of essential oil to 50ml of unperfumed ointment or cream base; blend thoroughly and place in a screw-capped glass jar. You should apply your rub regularly for the best results, such as 2-3 times a day for asthma and hay fever sufferers. The rub will help to catch some of the pollen causing hay fever from entering your nostrils as it will get caught in the lotion.
