New Found Way To Use Vicks...

I just read a post from one of the forum sites I’ve been browsing for some time now that there is a new way of using vicks vaporub. They say that it works a 100 percent all the time. However, scientists from Canada Research Council (CRC - who discovered the phenomenon) aren't sure why it works.

Scientist say that for you to stop night-time coughing especially for a child, put Vicks Vaporub generously in the bottom of the feet during bedtime and then cover with socks. It is studied that even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes, and will have an effect for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent most of the time and is considered more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. Normally, it is extremely soothing and comfortable when coughing is controlled and you will be able to sleep soundly.

The Canada Research Council describes that the findings by their scientists are found out during their investigation in the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. They just happened to tune in to an AM Radio Station and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical make-up of these strong drugs. It was found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime and in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

Many have tried it on when they had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked! They said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped them. The coughing stopped in a few minutes and they slept cough-free for hours. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed at the effect.



Personally, I haven’t tried this one yet but I will soon try this and will try to comment if the effects are true.
