Surprising uses of vicks vapor rub

We keep hearing about unconventional uses for Vicks VapoRub. This smelly old salve in its familiar blue bottle has been smeared on chests to relieve congestion for generations.

 

People have also found it useful for headaches, sore joints, toenail fungus, paper cuts and splinters. But a number of people have used Vicks. I recently received this e mail from a listener. She writes

A neighbour girl about three years old came to pick cherries. Shehad a deer tick behind her ear, swollen and red. I put Vicks VapoRub on it and in a few minutes the tick had let go. My husband had a tick on his leg, and I had one on my ear. With Vicks, both were easy to remove, and the bites never itched or turned red."

A foot care nurse.  Told me that some of her colleagues were using Vicks VapoRub on patients' fungus-infected toenails. Then we heard from another nurse that smearing Vicks on the soles of the feet could help a child with a cough sleep through the night. It wasn't long before the floodgates opened and we began to hear about using Vicks on paper cuts, mosquito and fire ant bites and seborrheic dermatitis.

I had cracked feet but after a week of using Vicks VapoRub my skin is without any cracks. For years I have suffered with painful cracks in my fingertips, despite putting cream and white gloves on my hands before bed. I tried using Vicks instead of cream at night and the difference has been amazing. Vicks cures toenail fungus.

Peoples experiences…..

If your toenail gets really thick and yellow, it is a form of fungus.Take a nail file and run it over the surface of the toenail. Rub itboth horizontally and laterally to make uneven grooves in the top of the nail. Then rub Vick's Vapour Rub into the top of the toenail. The grooves will help keep the Vick's on the toenail. Do this for several days/nights in a row as often as you can.

The Eucalyptus in the Vick's will kill the fungus on the nail faster than any store-bought anti-fungal available! I used Vicks on my toenail morning & night for 8 months, cleared it right up & a new nail grew right along with the healing process!

 I HIGHLY recommend this method – it's been 4 yrs & it's not come back.

GOOD LUCK!!
I've been using Vicks and I'm really, really happy with the results so far… My toenail fungus started in my big toe – at the top and spread towards the middle of the nail. It got to the point where my nail split and it was yellow and gross underneath.
Clipped as much of the toenail off that I could, exposing my nail bed and cleaned it really well. I then applied a thick coating of Vicks and put a band aid over it. I am doing this in the morning and at night.
After 3 weeks my fungus has all but disappeared! My nail is not yellow, my toe seems to be healing and the nail that is growing back (so far) is white and healthy looking!

 

Whoooo hooo!

I didn't think I would see much as far as results – let alone this fast! Highly worth a try.
