Did your mom every rub it on your chest and the bottoms of you feet and your nose and wrap you up in hot towels when you were sick? Ya felt better in the morning. Some of my friends moms made them swallow a finger full. States on the label not to be taken internally.
Did that stuff really work?

Girls are using it today in (not on) their princess spots. Freshens it up goes the tale.

My Mother was big on that shit.....Yup on finger load in the mouth to stop or sore throat.

I won' t allow it in the house. Same thing with Pepto Bismo. The smell or taste of either brings bad memories.:eek:

Used to on the kids. Wife swears by it when they are sick

Lather up the entire feet then put socks on and go to sleep. It works.

Used quite a bit by firefighters. DB's, GI bleeds, Vomit. A little bit on the upper lip helps out a lot with the bad smells;)

I have used it for 48 years and longer from my mom. States on the label not to be taken internally, But it works best in my nose, on the chest and used on a steamer.
If you want to get a laugh Call vick's and tell them you use if in your nose, LOL they will ask you all kinds of Questions, Where do you live, phone number, email, How many years have you used it that way, What store did you buy it from. I told them It works great in the nose. LOL they had a fit. LOL
Put it on your toe nails to get rid of fungus, Orders from my doctor

I didn’t know people ate that shit. Sounds terrible!
Mom would put it on our chest. Great for clearing the sinuses.

I don't know if it helps shorten symptoms at all, but it definitely helps me sleep by keeping my sinuses clear. My wife hates the smell.of it so I have to make sure the girls get it on them when they are sick. I prefer the chest and upper lip area. I haven't really tried the feet cause being about 6' away from the air intakes it seems pretty counterintuitive.

We use it to heal chapped lips. Put a little on the lips before going to bed. Wake up to relief.

I had the hack of death from just before Christmas to the end of January. Doctor had me on LSD cough syrup and other shit..and I found an old tub of vapo rub and after a hot ass shower spread that shit all over my chest, under my nose and wrapped up like a mummy like when i was a kid. Stuff works.

My youngest is the one that will get the "hack of death" that hangs on. He is 11. I don't know how, but buttering up his feet with that stuff makes it go away and he can sleep. Couple nights in a row, and he's cured.

My mom would boil up some herbal tea in a pot, put a towel over my head and make me put my face over it.

Pretty sure that’s called “waterboarding” [emoji90]
