12 Surprising Uses for Vicks VapoRub

Vicks is an age-old mentholated topical cream intended to relieve head, throat, and chest stuffiness – but did you know it can do more than relieve chest congestion?



1. Decongest Your Chest

The most common use of Vicks is to decongest your chest and throat area. When applied to the upper chest, it provides excellent relief of cough and congestion symptoms.

Since using my Doterra oils I love using my eucalyptus oil and coconut oil and it works wonders. I grew up on Vicks... a sign I had chest cold at a very young age.

I too grew up on Vick's vapor rub. Mom use to make a poultice and put on my chest at night.

I three grew up on vicks! Some great ideas on it I never knew, thank you Jade. I too use a lot of oils and coconut oil, almond oil to mix with my eucalyptus and then I put it on my feet for neuropathy and boy does it feel good and work. I use my medical oils for everything they are 100% real medical grade.

I also use the essential oils in my new. It's like a little vaporizer you mix different oils together to make a nice aroma to help with your breathing also it smells good in your house.

Another great idea is to hang eucalyptus on your shower so while you're taking a shower you're able to breathe better and it works great you have to get the real stuff and you can get that at any flower shop or grocery store that has flowers.
