VICKS VAPORUB...TRY IT, IT WORKS
I got this from my mom. Tried and true.
I wish I'd known this when my family was young during winter
colds and coughs. I am going to try it myself. Share with young parents.
Isn't life strange? When we had 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 at the Canada Research council (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 bottom of the feet
at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, 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. I heard the head of the
Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their
scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of
prescription cough medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like
acupressure.
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 chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened. Using Vicks on the feet was a surprise finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for
children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming
effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly. Lolly 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 and believe me, this was a
deep, incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and
she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it. If you have
grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you
will be absolutely amazed by the effect.
Oh, and your feet will love you too!
yes. i know it works on adults
I'm sorry, but that's the silliest thing I have ever heard.
Are you crazy?Vick's vapor rub is not intended for babies.The menthol and camphor could burn a babies delicate skin.If your baby has a cough take them to their pediatrician or an er but don't rub that onto it's feet and then cover them.I know you're thinking i'm a witch but i'm concerned.Read the directions,ingredients and warning label on the Vick's please.Try rubbing it on your own feet and covering them with sox and then multiply that feeling and that's how the baby probably feels.Put a humidifier in the baby's room and try that.Please think about how sensitive the babies skin is.
Yes. It's work.
