My experiment with Vicks on the Soles of my Feet

     I often use Vicks, have used it all my life to be exact, always have a blue jar of it around. I have used it everywhere around my head, never on my feet, well I did last night.

     First, my feet are always cold in the Winter, except, last night after I put Vicks on them, they felt warm. I put a pair of wool socks on. When I was little, my Mom would put the Vicks in my chest and throat and wrap my neck with a wool type scarf, so I used wool.

     OK. Next morning. I ALWAYS wake up between 7:30 and 8:00. Caleb, our dog, sits beside the bed waiting for me to get up, during that half hour window. This morning I woke up at 9:00, with a very clear head, no sinus congestion. 

     My wife wakes me up a couple of times a nigh, coughing. I had her try it last night. She didn't wake we up once.

     Does it work? It certainly did last night, for my wife and I. So, try it, nothing to lose and you might be pleasantly surprised.

VICKS Vapor Rub - INTERESTING

I can attest to parts of this,  I have been a Vicks user all my life, and I recall my Dad, the Doctor, prescribing similar therapy many years ago. I am going to try it tonight. If you have success or comments about this, let me know. EMAIL. I recall some items also, using DMSO on the soles of the feet, and some other items and a book on Foot Therapy.


During a lecture on Essential Oils, the speaker told the group how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.

Some of us have used Vicks Vapo Rub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapo Rub generously on the soles of your feet, cover with socks, and the heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly

Just happened to tune in A.M.. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemicals in them This method of using Vicks VapoRub on the soles of the feet was found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bed time. In addition it seems to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes.So she went from; every few seconds uncontrollable coughing, she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it.

If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be amazed at how it works.

DON'T SHUN THIS ONE.. TRY IT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET A BAD COLD.

THE ONLY THING YOU CAN LOSE IS YOUR COUGH..
