Last week I wrote a whole blog post on my top 10 natural alternatives to ’those’ products. It was so well received that this week I decided to write another natural alternatives post all about chest rubs! These are a wonderful addition to the family medicine cabinet and and can feel warm and soothing on the chest.

All of these are free from Petrolatum Jelly, and instead use natural ingredients such Beeswax or Shea Butter.
