My grandmother used to get car sick when riding in the back seat when my dad drove….she would always have a lemon with her, and would suck on that to help her with carsickness. Just poke a small hole in the end and suck the juices out slowly. Always worked for her.

Hi Carol! Yes, you could use option 3 (which is 62 drops eucalyptus essential oil plus 30 drops peppermint essential oil)
but instead of using the peppermint, just use all eucalyptus. (or a total of 92 drops eucalyptus as the sole essential oil in the chest rub)
You’re generally safe using a 3 to 5% dilution rate for a short term use product like a chest rub, which is about 80 to 135 drops of essential oil in total for this size recipe.
