Vicks has always worked since I've been I was young, I swear by the stuff. Helps my kids really well with the snivels. On the feet and dab some under the nose. Works great on congestion. The best way we've found to clear congestion in the nasal passages in the UK, is to fill a bowl with hot water and a teaspoon of Vicks mixed in the water. Then put a towl over your head covering your head and the bowl and deeply inhale the vapour that rises in the steam - it works twice as fast.

Vicks has been used in my life for over 65 years. My mother always used it on us when we were growing up. Depending on our symptoms, at times she would rub it on our chest, under our feet and even a bit in our noses. I always have it at my house. Everytime I smell It, it reminds me of my Mom.❤

I had Vicks on my nose and chest , the moment I had a little symptom of a cold, since I was a little kid , and I have never had a bad cold, or flu, or any type of pulmonary issue. I have to attribute it to Vicks. It’s the best, Btw, all Caribbean islands been using Vicks since forever as a remedy. Love it!

Oh my goodness, I love Vicks Vaporub. My grandma used to use this on me when I was a kid with a headcold. She always used that on me, and made me potato soup with chopped up garlic to eat for lunch and dinner. While I was home sick from school she would also make me eat oranges. As a kid, my family ate a lot of garlic in our meals and with the oranges during the day for healthy snacks, I was hardly ever sick. I am 50 years old and I still prefer eating healthy and not having too many colds, the old fashioned natural remedies are so much better for us. Thank you for this great information and bringing back memories of my beloved grandma. God bless you for this great information!

Been doing this for years. The scent of this stuff alone is freeing to the Spirit because I associate the scent with calmness and healing. Thank you, Doc, for bringing this concept to light. Peppermint oil and Himalayan salt works in a fancy way also.

When I was a kid and had a cold my Father would rub camphorphenique (sp?) on my neck and upper chest and pin one of his wool socks around my neck. Learned to love the smell of it and also his tender loving care. ❤️

I did this last week my manager told me about it and BOY I was surprised!!! Cleared me out

Vicks and Dr Alan Mandel, unsung heroes. Thank God for both 🙌🏼

You can also dice a half or whole Onion and leave it on a small plate on the Bedside Table at night! No coughing so your kid, or anyone, can get a hood night sleep.

Using it since the 1960's as I was diagnosed with bronchial asthma. It was and is a crucial medicine in the😢 bathroom cabinet for the past 65 years 😊

@@joannemcardle1848 er, I don’t think so! Melon, cucumber & celery do have properties to make you pee/piss/wee a little excess fluid from your body, but eating something, won’t ease congested sinuses. Put a small amount of Vicks vapour rub into a bowl of Hot water, bend your head over the bowl, -[Not too close or you’ll make your eyes water] drape a towel over your head & the bowl. Breathe in slowly, deeply thru your nose for a few mins. You can reheat the bowl in the microwave later to use again. Or get a Vicks sinus nasal inhaler and pop it in your pocket. Failing that, do you have a head cold? Sinus infection? Hay Fever? Other allergies ? If it’s not a virus, go Have a word with your local chemist. If it is a viral cold or flu virus, it will cure itself in a week or two. You CanNot cure a virus with antibiotics. They are for more serious infections, like a virus that’s gone,to the lungs so your coughing up phlegm, Not before then, or they’ll be useless to you in the future when your life may depend on them for sepsis!

EVERYTHING Dr. Mandell recommends is the BEST!!

I never leave home without it. Sinus or allergies it works every time. Same as most we grew up on Vicks. My mother would rub it on our chests, forehead and throat. 60 years later I still do the same thing.

I’ve done this for years. Vick works best when rubbed on the soles of the feet, and make sure the socks are 100% cotton.

My go-to when I have a bad cold with congested nose and throat... Lots of vitamine C, and applying Vick's VapoRub to my feet, chest, throat and just a tiny bit at each nostril...

My favorite way to use Vick's is to apply it topically on my face to each side of my nose when my sinuses are stopped up. I works SO WELL to unblock my passages and get me breathing. Just remember to avoid your eyes. It does send scent upwards to my eyes and makes them water a bit, but it actually feels soothing. Just don't get it IN you eyes.

I chew it first thing in the day with lots of water. I sniff raw garlic too if congested. The spice called cloves is great to chew on after the garlic and releases the clove scent. I love the smell of Vicks.
