DIY Vicks Shower Disks
After a week of dealing with the remnants of a head cold, my husband and I discovered that a steamy shower can really help clear our sinuses. With these menthol-infused shower bombs, you’ll enjoy an enhanced aromatic experience. Plus, they smell wonderful!
Ingredients Required
1/2 cup of Baking Soda
1 cup of cornstarch
5 tablespoons of Vicks (using baby Vicks can provide a milder fragrance)
Add a teaspoon of water as necessary (I used 3 teaspoons).
Mold tray (ice cube or chocolate molds work well)
- Begin by placing cornstarch in a mixing bowl (consider adding a bit of glitter for a fun touch).
- Mix in your Vicks thoroughly; be aware that it has a potent aroma, so you may want to wear gloves if you’re sensitive or ensure the area is well-ventilated. Be cautious not to add too much Vicks, as it may affect the melting properties.
- Add the baking soda and mix until well combined. If you think it needs more moisture, add a teaspoon of water at a time, but be careful not to overdo it, or the mixture will not hold together properly.
- Mold the blended mixture into your chosen tray (I used chocolate molds, but feel free to get creative with shapes and designs).
- Freeze the molds for several hours.
- Once frozen, remove the disks from the molds. They can be stored in small jars or given as thoughtful gifts.
To use:
Simply place one disk on the shower floor near the drain, and let the steam work its magic to help clear your sinuses!
