Vicks VapoRub made a huge success after being released. The product is probably the most popular and most used nonprescription treatment ever because it does not demand any swallowing or drinking, just straight up massages. Vicks Vaporub is made out of menthol, camphor, and eucalyptus oil, that is why it can effectively deal with coughs and congestions once breathed in, plus, it can also deal other health issues because of its topical analgesic property.
However, Vicks Vaporub has a lot of uses that you may or may not know about, that is why, in this article, we will show you 10 surprising uses of Vicks VapoRub.
1. Headaches
If you are dealing with a sinus headache, then put some Vicks under your nose and start breathing in deeply and slowly. As for standard headaches, a simple application to the temples will deal with the pain.
2. Muscle aches
If you have muscle aches, then massage VapoRub on the achy muscles, then use a dry and warm towel to wrap them.
3. Soothe earaches
Earaches can be a sign of an ear infection, or it can be a simple effect of cold. To deal with the problem, apply some Vicks to a cotton ball and put in in your ear all night long until the pain fades away, then you can remove it.
4. Toenail fungus
Use VapoRub to rub the infected toenails three times a day for a couple of months, or until the fungal infection is gone.
