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...
