I am a nurse and needless to say I was skeptical when a friend suggested I try this for my very bad cough. I bought some at WM and tried it and it works. Slept thru the night without a coughing spell. Yes, after a few minutes I could smell it on my breath. By the way makes your feet nice and soft as well.

I tried it last night and for the first time in a long time I slept like a baby the whole night long. I am going to play pay it forward with this. If I tell someone about this they will think I am crazy so I am going to buy a jar of Vicks and a pair of socks and pass it on with a note telling them about it and asking them to do the same.
Thanks for a good nights sleep

I never heard of this you bet I am going to try it. No more little kids but I have my first cold this week in so long I can't even remember when the last time was. maybe 20 years. I think its because I moved.And the house here has central heat which I am not use to.

Every time I smell Vicks, I think about my Mom. I was prone to chest congestion as a child and she would rub my chest with Vicks and heat a towel in the oven and then put it on top of my chest under the flannel PJ's. It worked great and, yes, so soothing. Wonder why I haven't been doing that for myself for years. Try it. It's great.
