FWD: helpful hints - VICKS VAPORUB

[Guest guest]

Something I found.. felt it is worth passing around

 

 

 

 

I had no trouble believing this as I am a longtime advocate of Vicks! 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 nighttime 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 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 accupressure. Just happened to tune in AM 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

surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for

c

hildren at bedtime, and in addition, to have a soothing and calming effect on

sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

 

Lolly 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.

 

 

 

So, if you have Children or Grandchildren, pass it on, if you end up sick,

try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effectiveness.

I could have used that tip when I was a child!

We had no idea about anyone not tolerating

milk at that time. I was always struggling

with bronchitis, especially in winter.

 

Thanks, it is being shared.
