Eucalyptus, menthol, camphor, oil of wintergreen (possibly)...we use it for
the children when needed. No medicines ever.
You can inhale it over a hot bowl, too, or rub onto chest directly (but too
strong for very young infants). Also put on a handkerchief under pillow
case. The pulmonary and internal epithelial effects of these herbal
extracts are well known.

VICKS VAPORUB...TRY IT, IT WORKS
I wish I'd known this when my family was young during winter colds and
coughs. I am going to try it myself. Share with young parents.
Isn't life strange. When we had a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us
how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your
feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.
Some of us have used Vicks Vaporub for years for everything from chapped
lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of
this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time although the scientists
at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.
To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out
personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at
bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing
will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of
relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than
even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is
extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard
the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the
part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness
and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to
alternative therapies like acupressure.
Just happened to tune in A.M.Radio and picked up this guy talking about
why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the
chemical makeup of these strong drugs so,I listened. It was a surprise
finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for
children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on
sick children who then went on to sleep soundly. Polly tried it on
herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few
weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket
had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this
was a deep, (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable
cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.
If you have grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it
yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect.
