We have recently been giving this information from a reputable source we have to say – sounded weird enough to work so we gave it a go. The results are not necessarily scientific but it worked! So we thought we would share just to see what everyone thinks – this is the email we received…
Vicks VapoRub – Interesting
“During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on the soles of 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 have 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 hours of relief. In addition to it working it is extremely soothing and comforting and it will help them sleep soundly.
We would like to know if anyone else finds this helpful.
Take care of yourselves this Christmas.
