13 Amazing Uses Of The Vicks Vaporub That No One Knows About.
The other day, impossible to work! I didn't feel very well.
Sore throat, headache, pain in the body….
So I called my mother. She always has grandmother's things to give me to heal me.
This time around she advised me to rub my throat with Vicks and then wrap my throat with a clean hubby sock.
Strange, isn't it? But, this is far from the only Vicks Vaporub cure my mom knows about!
Ever since I was little, we've always had Vicks in our medicine cabinet.
So, I called my mother back to ask her to list me all the other remedies for this magical product.
To my surprise, she remembered my grandmother using it for a whole bunch of little ailments on a daily basis.
By the way, the Vicks and the sock healed my sore throat!
It's amazing what this little jar can do! And since I like to share, I have made a list of them that I am sharing today. Look :
1. Relieves sore throat
Rub your throat with Vicks and wrap it with a sock. Leave it on for 2-3 hours or even overnight.
2. Decongests the nose and bronchi
Rub some Vicks on your chest and put some under your nostrils to clear your bronchial tubes and stuffy nose.
3. Calms coughs
To stop a cough, massage your feet liberally with Vicks before bed. Then put on a pair of socks. Check out the trick here.
4. Relieves muscle tension
Massage your sore muscles with a good amount of Vicks. You will feel your muscles relax in just a few minutes.
5. Cures headaches
Put some Vicks on the temples and forehead. Massage yourself gently by closing your eyes for a few minutes. You will see how good it feels!
6. Relieves ear pain
To relieve ear pain, apply a small amount of Vicks to a small piece of cotton wool. Put it in the ear without pushing it too deep. Leave it in the ear for a few hours for it to take effect.
7. Eliminates nail fungus
Rub the infected nails with Vicks. The nail will then turn a dark color as the Vicks kills the fungus. The dark color will fade as the nail grows back.
8. Repels mosquitoes
Spread some Vicks on the parts of your skin exposed to mosquito bites. You should be at ease and avoid injections.
9. Relieves insect bites.
Rub some Vicks on the bug pimple. Cover it with a bandage. Leave it on for a few minutes and say goodbye to the itching!
10. Treats dry and cracked feet
Coat the dry parts of your feet with Vicks, morning and night for several days in a row. Your heels will love it!
11. Treat acne naturally
To get rid of an acne pimple, dab it with a little Vicks. This will dry out the pimple and heal it in no time.
12. Prevents cold sores
As soon as you feel the first tingling of the cold sore, rub the area with Vicks. This should help prevent the cold sore or at least greatly reduce its size.
13. Removes splinters
Apply some Vicks directly to the splinter before going to bed. Cover with a bandage. The next morning, the splinter should be on the bandage. Magical !
