Dry Cracked Heels
Give your feet spa treatment for little cost Do your heels get dry and crack open? Try rubbing Vick's VapoRub on them every morning and every night. This works wonders!<\/p>\n

Athletes Feet
Dry crusty toes? Rub Vick's VapoRub on your feet every morning and night.<\/p>\n

I've heard testimonies of people who had sever Athlete's Feet, and doing this has kept them free of it for several years.
Toenail Fungus
Bye, bye fungus
Massage Vick's VapoRub on the affected toenails once or twice daily.
The toenails will eventually turn dark (most likely overnight), which means its killing the fungus. As you cut the toenails, you'll soon find them free of fungus and in great shape.<\/p>\n

Don't give up if you don't see immediate results. Keep using this and it will work.
Sinus Headache?
Ouch…
Rub Vick's VapoRub under your nose for instant relief.<\/p>\n

The Eucalyptus oil helps to provide nasal congestion relief.<\/p>\n

A new warning has been issued to NOT use mentholated balms under the noses of children under the age of 2 because of a potential for excess build up of mucus.
Tennis Elbow Anyone
Or other aches and pains
Rub Vick's VapoRub on the area that aches, and wrap it. It relieves minor aches and pains.<\/p>\n

The Menthol acts as a local anesthetic and relieves those aches and pains!
Insect Bites and Stings
•Perhaps due to its pain relieving properties, Vicks has often been
used as a topical treatment for mosquito bites and bee stings. Dab a small amount of Vicks VapoRub onto the irritated area; the irritation should soon subside.<\/p>\n

Arthritis Pain
•As a topical analgesic, the use of Vicks VapoRub for sore muscles
and joints is common. This pain relief has been found by many people to be especially helpful in alleviating joint pain caused by arthritis. While not a cure for arthritis itself, the pain relief offered by Vicks is a simple and affordable option that can help many to experience less discomfort and a greater range of motion.<\/p>\n
