Traditionally, we put VapoRub on the chest to help breathe easier.

Very useful during a cold for example, when the bronchi are congested.

It is a product that we all recognize thanks to its very characteristic smell.

Well, the Vicks turns out to have more than one trick up its sleeve!

Here are 18 uses of the VapoRub that everyone should know:

1. Calms coughs

If you suffer from a nighttime cough, massage the underside of each foot with a little Vicks Vaporub. Then cover them with socks. Check out the trick here.

2. Relieves stiffness

Apply and massage the muscles with the Vicks to relieve aches and pains.

3. Fights headaches

Rub some Vicks on your forehead and temples for headache relief fast.

4. Relieves ear pain

Apply a small amount of Vicks to a cotton ball and place it inside your ear for pain relief.

5. Treats eczema

Apply a little Vicks to an eczema flare-up to reduce itching and inflammation.

6. Make acne disappear

Apply Vicks to acne pimples several times a day to dry them out and make them disappear faster.

7. Treats cold sores

Apply a little bit of Vicks to the area as soon as you feel a cold sore pushing.

8. Accelerates the healing of small cuts

Apply Vicks directly to your cut. You prevent infection and speed up healing.

9. Facilitates the removal of a splinter

Apply Vicks to the affected area. This prevents infection and causes the splinter to come out of the skin faster.

10. Heals bruises quickly

Mix the Vicks with salt and apply the mixture to the recently bruised area. This mixture encourages the recovery of blood circulation, which allows the bruising to pass more quickly.

11. Treats nail fungus

Rub the infected toe and nail with Vicks. Repeat the operation twice a day. Due to the yeast infection, the nail may turn black. Then cut your nails regularly until the blackened area disappears.

12. Moisturizes dry heels

Apply Vicks twice a day to your cracked heels and cover them with socks to activate the effect.

13. Treats stretch marks

Apply the VapoRub on the stretch marks. You should start to see noticeable improvement after 2 weeks. Let us know in the comments if it works for you!

14. Blocks bad odors

Put a little bit of Vicks under each nostril to make a scent barrier to the unpleasant odors you may encounter during the day (at the office, at the gym, in the subway or elsewhere ...).

15. Facilitates sleep in case of a stuffy nose

Some humidifiers have compartments for adding aromatics. Add the Vicks to this compartment and turn on your humidifier. Do this before bed to help clear your nose and sleep better.

16. Repels insects

Dab some Vicks on different parts of your skin to repel mosquitoes. If a tick bite occurs, apply Vicks immediately to the affected area. The smell should force the tick to leave.

17. Repel cats

Cats and dogs hate the smell of Vicks. So if there is any furniture your cat is scratching on, rub some Vicks on the affected area. Your cat will stay away, trust me! Check out the trick here.

18. Avoid dog pee

If your dog has a tendency to relieve himself in the house, rub some Vicks near where he is used to marking his territory. It'll keep him away.
