I love this product. It helps with sore throats and everything else when you have a cold!!

Ahhhh, Vicks VapoRub. I love that smell. The ointment relaxes all those tired muscles in your chest and back from coughing. I find the best thing to do is to rub it in until it feels warm, and then after you get this nice cooling feeling on your skin. It works really well, for a small price.

This stuff works great. I rollerblade a lot and I like to rub this product on sore muscles. The best use though, is when I have a stuffy nose and/or cough. My humidifier has a little cup set near the top; I put a blob of Vaporub in it and my room is filled with menthol and eucalyptus vapours which soothes my nose and throat all night. I prefer this way over pills (which don't work at all for me). You can also smear it on your upper chest so that you breathe it in, but that makes me break out.
