Synthetically made vapor rubs and ointments are much higher in price or much
expensive than that of natural one. Aside from this, chemicals from the vapor rubs
might cause heart burn and can burn the skins cuticle coating if overused, In
addition to this, too much vapor rubs can cause respiratory illnesses to infants.

Hence, making this proposal might be the answer to burden that could be brought
by the expensive vapor rubs and ointments to the people by making an ointment
with less expensive materials.

Materials:
5ml Ginger
50g Petroleum
5ml Palm oil
Laboratory Equipment:
-Mortar and pestle
-Knife -Measuring cup
-Strainer
-Heating pan
-Mixing bowl

Methodology:

First, the material will be prepared and sanitized. Then, the ginger must be
thoroughly washed and will be minced so that it would be easier to pound and
extract. The Ginger extract will be strained to remove the impurities and ginger
pulps. The pan will be heated, and then the petroleum jelly and palm oil will be
mixed afterwards. After the jelly and oil had mixed, the ginger extract will be added
gradually The mixture must be stirred until all the components combine. Then it
must be removed away from heat and will be stirred until the mixture had cooled.
The cooled mixture will then be packed in a sanitized bottle and will be kept in a
cool, dry place.
