VICKS VAPO RUB

VICKS VAPO RUB 


During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can Absorb oils.

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, but this 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 Vapor rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks.

Even persistent, 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 chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened.

Rubbing Vicks Vapor rub was found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition 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 and believe me, this was a deep, (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept
cough-free for hours every night that she used it.

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

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

Don't know where you have all been, but since childhood we are taught this from our parents and their parents. Maybe it's a culture thing. But in our culture, it's a given, and it works

I used to work in a medical clinic. A coworker there recommended I try this. I thought it sounded crazy, but I tried this and it really works! I wondered why the doctors there didn't recommend this remedy, but then it would cut into their business when no one who tried this first would show up. I say try this first before going to the doctor. I really does work.

The Powers That Be knew long ago that the feet have great importance in maintaining our health. Our feet are like the roots of a plant or tree. Factually, it was healthier to walk around barefoot or to wear shoes with leather soles; so the leather soles were replaced with neoprene! This is why leather soles no longer exist and how the town shoemaker was put out of business.

This is basically true info... use of essential oils and herbal-infused medicinal oil preparations in this manner is an ancient technology- investigate Ayurvedic health care concepts for more detailed info.

However, there is a problem with Vick's Vapo-Rub- the camphor in this product is synthetic (made in a test tube) and not really healthy or compatible with the human body internally.

Natural camphor is a resin/oil that comes from the bark of the camphor tree- this can be used internally as medicine but one must do research on this as care is required to use this natural substance safely as a medicine, since it is not entirely non-toxic. Caution is advised.

I see no problems with using a NATURAL camphor oil (probably diluting it a bit with olive or sesame oil would be wise) on the bottoms of the feet. Many substances like this, when applied to the feet are practically instantly pulled into the body.
