Vicks Vapor Rub! By Fishburn By fishburn on Dec 17, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Since I was a kid, whenever I got a cold, I remember the soothing smell of Eukalyptus. This vapor rub is the most soothing thing for a child who has a hold. Although its cold when it goes on, it instantly Opens your chest and nose with its mentholated scent. It also relaxes you, because the scent is not too strong but it still is enough that you can feel it. It makes it so that when you breath in, a cool breath of menthol goes into your lungs, relaxing them, and opening them. Another way to use this product is by using it with steam. This is the most effective way to use vick's. By placing it in boiling water, you get twice the lung opening power. The steam which opens your lungs by itself, plus the vicks is a combination that even the worst colds can't beat. This product is simply amazing.
