VapoRub - INTERESTING!


During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.


Some of us have used Vicks VapoRub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why.


To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally, put Vicks VapoRub generously on the soles of your feet, cover with socks, and the heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.


Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemicals in them This method of using Vicks VapoRub on the soles of the feet was found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bed time. In addition it seems to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.


My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes. So she went from; every few seconds uncontrollable coughing, she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it.


If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be amazed at how it works.


DON'T SHUN THIS ONE.. TRY IT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET A BAD COLD. THE ONLY THING YOU CAN LOSE IS YOUR COUGH....
 
Wow, seriously? I'll give it a try. I have a dry, hacking cough that I can't get rid of!
 
That is an old country remedy. We rub vaporub on our feet and put on thick socks, then rub it on our necks and wrap a nice scarf and go to bed. Ahhhhh It is nice to know that others verify this old time trick.

It is also a powerful spouse repellant. lol
 
I have tried it few months ago, and it work for only 30 minutes and go back to coughing.
 
Undetermined??? That means it has no proof. Wait and see...

Maybe Authentic is right.


I am going to give a try, to see if it REALLY works. If it doesn't work and then, I will strangle the person who wrote this link with my bare hands. :lol:

Yeah, it's been around a long time. Country people used to put this on their chest when they had a chest cold, used it for nasal stuffiness, even swallowed some of it.....
Not sure if it's works for the feet to stop the coughing.

LOL I sleep alone.
 
We have used Vick's on chests and on our feet since I was a child. It kept my kids quiet when they were little, but not so much now. It's been so long since any of us have had a cold or a cough that we needed anything.

I would be very careful not to slip and fall with the vick on your feet!

Yeah, I remember that my mother put this on my chest when I was little. It did help.

I don't think it works for the feet to stop my cough.
 
The only trick I have is a cure all for hiccups. It works 100% of the time. Get a thick paper towel, or fold it in half and cover a glass of water with it. Then suck the water through the paper towel and the hiccups dissappear.
