Afternoon,
I am still around just not feeling up to being oin the Computer much. I did want to share this with you. I had such a terrible cough and put the vicks on the feet along with socks and Bingo, it does work. so, give it a try.
TWELVE SURPRISING USES FOR VICKS VAPORUB!!
1.
Decongest Your Chest
The
most common use of Vicks is to decongest your chest and throat area. When
applied to the upper chest, it provides excellent relief of cough and congestion
symptoms.
2.
On Your Tootsies
Applying
Vicks to your feet provides nighttime cough relief. Generously rub VapoRub all
over your feet and cover them with socks. Your cough will
subside.
3.
Achy Breaky Muscles
Vicks
relieves sore, overworked muscles. It increases circulation and provides almost
instant aid. Use a generous portion and apply it over the aching
area.
4.
Get Rid of Nasty Nail Fungus
Rub
VapoRub on your toenails if you suspect you have a fungus. Within days, the nail
will turn dark—this means the Vicks is killing the fungus. As your toenail grows
out, the dark part will grow off and you will have fungus-free feet. Keep
applying the ointment over a period of two weeks to fully cleanse nail beds of
any remaining bacteria.
5.
Stop Your Cat from Scratching
To
prevent Miss Kitty from ruining your doors, walls, and windows, apply a small
amount of VapoRub to these areas. Cats detest the smell and will steer clear.
Vicks can also be applied to your arms and legs if your kitty is prone to
scratching you.
6.
Pet Pee-Pee Deterrent
If
your dog or cat is not yet potty trained, put an open bottle of Vicks on the
area he or she likes to mark as their territory. The smell will discourage them
from lifting their legs and wetting your rug.
7.
Headaches Be Gone
Rub
a small amount of Vicks VapoRub on your temples and forehead to help relieve
headaches. The mentholated scent will release pressure in your head and
instantly
relieve
pain.
8.
Humidify Your Sleep
Vicks
VapoRub can be used in special types of humidifiers and vaporizers. Ensure your
humidifier has an aromatherapy compartment before using. The
humidifier
will
circulate Vicks throughout the air and keep you breathing easy all night
long.
9.
Paper Cuts and Splinters
To
prevent infection and speed up healing time, dab a small amount of Vicks on any
small cut or splinter.
10.
Ticks and Bugs
If
you get bitten by a tick, apply Vicks immediately. The strong odor might help
get the critter to release itself and stop bugging
you.
11.
Reek-free Racehorses
Professional
racers smother VapoRub under the nostrils of racehorses on race day. The strong
stench deters the stallions from the alluring odor of the female pony
and
keeps
them focused on the race.
12.
Go Away MosquitoesApply small dabs of Vicks VapoRub to your skin and clothes and
mosquitoes will steer clear. If you do get bitten, apply Vicks to the area and
cover it with a Band-Aid to relieve

Now I say this is some GREAT information to have. When I was small..WAY back in the early 1940's,
and I would catch cold, my mother would put Vick's on my chest and cover it with warm flannel to relieve congestion and a cough.
As I remember it worked. However, when you get that stuff near your nose and eyes...it was enough to make you stop coughing so your mother would take it off. She never did. Once the warm flannel was laid on my chest and it fumes stopped choking me, I went fast asleep. Heaven! I miss my Mom!!
Big hugs..get well and I am out here. Blogging is something that can become a chore..it did for me.
I had to stop but I've now found it much easier because if I don't blog..so what. If they visit me..I am delighted but if they don't..I can take it!! LOL
I also found that taking photo's and posting them helps me to post.
EVEN if it isn't related to what you are chatting about.
You blog is adorable and you have a lot to give to women. Your kindness is so evident.
Big hugs and get well!
