During a lecture on Essential Oils, they said 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 Vaporub 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 Vaporub 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.



It was a surprise finding and 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 TI ME YOU GET A BAD COLD.

 

Can't wait til I get a crazy cough to try it .. thanks.

 

A lot of debate on the internet ... whether it works or not.

 

my mom says it works I have not tried it.

 

I have heard of it.....I remember as a kid having vapo-rub all over me and then getting a shot of my grandma's "witches brew". Not sure what it was (I think pure etoh) but I know it does the trick. It is no longer available whatever she used...but boy..burned going down and then you slept like a baby!!! LOL should I say slept it off!

 

I'm not too sure if it works either, just thought I would pass it along in case someone has a really bad cough and wanted to try this. I just don't think I could sleep with wet feet

 

I tried this today for my stuffy nose (years of diving have destroyed my sinuses). I was alarmed at how well it worked. I'll try it next time i get a cough but for sinuses it worked for me.

Also i could smell it all day, even though I had boots on. i asked my buddies if they could smell it and none said they could.

 

my mother tryed it about 2 weeks ago and said it works great

 

No kiddin? I'm gonna have to try this out! I thought the first couple posts were jokes!!

 

Maybe "witches brew" was whiskey? ;D
