SUMMARY
Follow some general recommendations before you use Vicks VapoRubs:
• Just like any other product that is used on the skin, Vicks VapoRub must be tested on your skin before you use it. To see if you have an allergic reaction, put some Vicks on the back of your hand and watch for a while. If you notice burning, redness, or any other symptoms, don’t use it at all.
• The product shouldn’t be used on children under two as it can adversely affect the respiratory tract.
• If you have doubts, always consult your doctor before using.
- Vicks VapoRub can help you to relieve it. Menthol, one of its main ingredients, helps lower blood pressure in your head and, as a result, relieves pain.
- Rub some Vicks VapoRub on your stretch marks, and in just two weeks you will see that they gradually become less visible.
- If you suffer from toenail fungus, try applying some Vicks to the affected nail every night and then put your socks on. The next day, wash your feet and clip off as much infected nail as possible.
- If it happens to you, gently rub some Vicks VapoRub on your bruise, and observe the healing process. The ointment will reduce all the swelling, and the bruise itself will disappear faster.
- Vicks can help you get rid of belly fat! Mix one tablespoon of crushed tablet camphor, one tablespoon of alcohol, one tablespoon of baking soda, and half a jar of Vicks VapoRub until you get a paste. Before doing your physical exercises, apply this paste to your abdomen or to the area that you plan to work on, and wrap yourself with plastic wrap. When you finish your workout, rinse with plenty of water.

Always use immediately after a shower. Right after drying face with a towel. While skin is still damp. I do put it almost to the lower lashes, but not quite. It'll make my eyes water if I get too close. I don't put it below the eyebrows or on the upper eyelid. Or the lips. But the rest of the face, yes. Under the jaw and down the neck, too. The smell fades quickly. No one ever knew I wore it to work. They just said my skin looked great.

    Sometimes i feel an intense itch on my skin that makes me want to scratch it, but its better to apply Vicks to make the itch go away. Also, use Vicks on a cotton swab to remove earwax from your ears. The earwax appears as a brown stain on the swab. When the brown stain is gone, the earwax is gone.

    Works for cold sores and warts, too! The camphor in Vick’s is also the same ingredient in Campho-Phenique, a medicine made for cold sores. It dries them up, and alleviates the itching and tingling. As far as the warts, just dab some Vaporub on the wart every day, cover it with a bandage, and it will be gone in a week or so (depending on the size of the wart).

    Growing up my parents used this for every cold, flu, cough, etc.. From rubbing it on your chest & neck to under each nostril, but the most effective when battling a bad cold with fever & chills, etc, my Mom (she was also an RN) would slather Vicks on our feet then pull on warm cotton socks (out of the dryer, ahhh!) then a a 2nd pair if big fuzzy socks! I swear we called it the "Cure" and it really works, still use it to this day. I always have a Big Jar of Vicks in my medicine cabinet. It doesn't surprise me that its got so many more hacks, its the miracle rub! 🛀🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    As I understand it, most of Vicks VapoRub is Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline). Petroleum Jelly can be used to keep away insects - I used it to keep fleas off me a few years ago by rubbing some on my body, the fumes generated by body heat keeps them away. I also used it to clear up skin fungal infections. The camphor and other stuff in VapoRub probably helps with the other things mentioned in the video.

    I use Vicks, just plain old Vicks for RLS--Restless Leg Syndrome. That is a condition when you are awakened from sleep with leg twitches. The funny thing is where the Vicks is applied--you rub a small amount on the instep of each foot, and then put sox on and go back to sleep. It works right away, every time.
