Shower Soothers for a Cold

Vicks used to sell Shower Soothers.  I loved these things when I was sick with a cold.  Unfortunately, I can't find them in the store at all and haven't even seen them in years.  This led me to find a make your own recipe for them.  There are tons of different recipes out there.  Below is the one I used.

Shower Soothers How-To:
1.  Mix one cup baking soda and 1/2 cup of cornstarch.
2.  Add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of water.  Start with a small amount and add only what is needed to mix everything together.
3.  Fill cupcake liners with the mixture.
4.  Let mixture dry overnight or cook in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.  I find cooking them keeps the shape better.
5.  Add 15 drops Eucalyptus and 15 drops Rosemary Essential Oils. (Add more or less depending on your needs/wants.)
6.  Remove a shower soother from the cupcake liner and place on the floor of the shower whenever you are sick.  This will help your sinuses open up.

Verdict:
5 stars - This is one of my go-to's when I get sick.  They hold up very well.  One shower soother could last multiple showers.  I like to make them when I am feeling healthy because doing anything when you're sick is difficult to do. They last a really long time.  If the scent seems to be diminished, add more essential oils.
