When I look back at my childhood, I can recall all the times my great grandmother was there taking care of me. My grandmother usually stood with us for about 3-4 months out of the year. I remember how nurturing and loving she was to me and my sister. When we would get colds she would always rub some Vicks VapoRub on our chest and neck, as recommended on the bottle. She also had a special trick by rubbing some on the bottom of our feet (then putting socks on us). Now that I have a family of my own I follow her same remedy to give my kids some comfort while they sleep.
Now when I twist the cap, the smell brings me back to when I was a little girl. The menthol gives such a soothing relief when inhaled. My son recently had a cough and Vicks VapoRub came to the rescue! It is the #1 Pediatrician Recommended Rub. Vicks VapoRub is a cough suppressant with medicated vapors which helps give the entire family some instant relief. My son was able to breathe easier and sleep soundly. I hate seeing my kiddos sick. Breaks my heart I can’t make it go away. Vicks VapoRub is recommended for kids aged 2 and up.
Vicks VapoRub contains camphor, eucalyptus oil and menthol which is not only great for suppressing coughs but it also helps with temporarily relieving minor aches and pains of muscles and joints. My husband loves going kayak fishing but it gets home sore from all the rowing – a good rub with Vicks VapoRub helps his get some much needed relief.
The weather is cold everywhere (even here in Florida!) be sure to keep a jar of Vicks VapoRub in your medicine cabinet to combat those colds and coughs! Or those sore muscles after a long day! My grandmother and mom always had a jar at hand – they said it was magic in a jar.
