I'd not use that recipe on an adult... for a toddler, you'd want a maximum of 5 drops per ounce... and you'd not use some of those oils... it IS too much for babies and infants...

Use very low heat or a double boiler to prevent burning the oil. When the wax is melted, remove the oil from the heat then add the essential oils and stir to blend. When the mixture is cool it is ready to use. You can make this using only the eucalyptus oil if prefered.To use rub a small amount on the chest as needed to relieve congestion.
