Not tried it yet but thought I would pass it on anyway.

All these years, I've been putting it on the wrong parts............. you too? And if you have virgin wool socks wrap your feet in those....... virgin wool somehow pulls infection out of you, too.......

VICKS 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..

Here's the best cough remedy.

Dissolve two tablespoons of Andrews liver salts in half a pint of water and use that to wash down six ex-lax tablets.

Give it 15 mins and you'll be too scared to cough!

I was about to suggest rubbing the soles of the feet with Tiger balm.

So - this explains a weird condition I got once, got all itchy between my toes so put three pairs of socks on to stop myself scratching - next day I was in a pretty bad way; had to go to the doctor and he diagnosed me with athletes throat!

Daft as It may seem, I told my neighbour who has been suffering with one of these chest viruses that are going around and he has just told me that he tried it last night (with a new jar) and he reckons it works. Within ten minutes he could feel the warmth travelling up the body and it really did ease his chest overnight. It is not cured obviously but he was impressed how well it worked for him. I would be interested if anyonee else has a go to see if it works for them.

My brother-in-law tried it last night as well i am told....worked for him too.
