Vick’s may not be good for everything, but...
5 Stars
Vick’s may not be good for everything, but...
Vicks is pretty amazing stuff. It’s been around, virtually unchanged, since a pharmacist in North Carolina created it back in 1890, copying the ingredients of French Ben-Gay– it was first marketed in 1905 under the not-very-enticing brand name “Vick's Magic Croup Salve”, but a family member convinced them to change the name to VapoRub in 1912. The family that made it became millionaires (back when a million dollars really meant something) with the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918, despite it treating only the flu’s symptoms and not curing it.Vick’s is primarily used for colds and coughs: it’s the stuff moms rub on their children’s chests (and adults rub on their own) to help clear up coughs and congestion, and it really works for most people. It contains menthol, camphor and eucalyptus oil, which are cough suppressants and mild topical analgesics. But that is just the original and primary use for the stuff; the list goes on from there.Because of its analgesic qualities, Vick’s works rubbed into sore muscles, it is used to treat toenail fungus, it limits the itching of mosquito bites and speeds healing of small cuts and burns. If you are a cat or dog, you’ll likely hate the smell, so it can be used to train pets not to pee or scratch furniture where you don’t want them to— just rub a dab of the stuff into the carpet or rug and your pets will stay away.VapoRub is supposed help clear up both eczema and acne, according to edrugsearch.com (I can’t vouch for it, as I outgrew acne 40 years ago, and have never had eczema. Rubbed in a few times a day, it is described as a means of minimizing postpartum stretch marks. If you stick a cotton ball with Vicks on it into your ear before going to bed, it is supposed to cure your earache. An open jar or two on the picnic table should keep most insects away. And the list goes on. And on. And on.Recommended.
