    Goodbye sore throat and runny noses

    My husband and I absolutely love and swear by this product. When we are sick, we put some on the bottom of our feet and throw on some socks. we also put some on our chest, I find a few nights of doing this, along with hot tea for a few days, does the trick.

    Good for colds

    I recently used this when I had a cold and it helped more than I thought it would. I always doubted how well Vicks worked after I tried it the first time a few years ago and it did nothing. My little sister swears by it so I decided to give it a try. The smell is good for helping with a blocked nose and it is also soothing when your head feels sore from a sinus infection. I have heard this works really well too if it is applied to your feet. You don't need to use a lot but make sure to put enough that you get a good coating on your chest so you can smell it. This can be purchased at Walmart.

    Vaporub is life!

    Nasal congestion? Well, this product help a lot when it come to congestion problem. Easy to apply, texture is pretty much like the Vaseline one, you will sleep like a baby with this and also breath way better then you use to without this. Since I was a child, my mom use this on me whenever I felt sick and now that I'm all grown up, I always have one Vicks pot at home.

    Good, but I wish it worked better

    I always found that Vicks works on the onset of a cold, and towards the very end. It gives you just enough of a menthol kick to open up your sinuses so that you can breathe well enough to have a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, when my full-blown colds are at their very worst, it doesn't even come close to making a difference in my breathing. Not a bad remedy, altogether, but my colds require a much bigger kick in the butt.

    yes please!

    I have been using this ointment since I was a child. It is very effective, helps with nasal congestion, headaches and any cold symptoms. It also works great on your feet, it makes them soft and obviously they smell fresh after I applied it.

    Life saver

    Whenever I start to feel sick, or am feeling sick, I lather this on my chest and back and start to feel better immediately. This stuff is seriously a god send. It works very well, and has many other uses as well.

    Most importantly however, this really clears my sinuses which is why I love it so much.

    This stuff is the only thing that gets me through a cold!

    Vicks vapour rub has literally been a staple in my medicine cabinet since i was a child. It is the only thing that will decongest my nose when I sleep. I literally put it on my nose at bedtime and it instantly clears up my airway! Even with the most stubborn colds vicks always helps! I also rub it on my shoulders and sore areas on my body and it relieves the pain, acting almost like those hot/cold sprays you can find for muscle pain. This stuff is truly amazing. Everyone needs it in their home

    Vicks is a Cure All

    I am convinced Vicks can cure most things! I use it when I'm congested from a cold or the flu and I it's also crucial for me in treating headaches and migraines. I've also heard people put it on the soles of their feet to help with congestion and cough. I haven't found any products that come close to how effective Vicks is.
