Vicks VapoRub has been used for years to reduce flu symptoms and relieve coughs.
To benefit from its benefits, apply it to your chest at night before going to sleep and cover yourself well. The anti-inflammatory effect of this ointment, as well as the heat it produces, will quickly relieve you.

Reduce muscle pain:
Thanks to its heating effect, Vicks VapoRub can help relieve muscle pain. Simply apply a sufficient amount to the painful muscle and massage it gently. Cover the area to be treated with a warm towel and rest. Vicks VapoRub will stimulate blood circulation, which will have the effect of relaxing muscle knots and reducing pain.

To relieve headaches due to sinusitis:
Headaches can be caused by different factors. To relieve those caused by sinusitis, Vicks VapoRub is your ally. Simply apply a little on the tip of your nose and inhale. The menthol contained in this product will help reduce the dilation of blood vessels, responsible for the pressure felt in your head.

You can also apply a dab of Vicks VapoRub on your temples or forehead, for the same effect.

 

Keeping mosquitoes away:
The strong smell of Vicks VapoRub acts as a powerful mosquito repellent. Indeed, these little critters that make our lives difficult especially in summer, hate the strong aroma of this ointment. So apply a small amount on your clothes or on exposed skin to keep mosquitoes away.

Preventing your cat from getting into trouble:
Does your cat love to sharpen its claws on your furniture? Protect them immediately by using Vicks VapoRub. This ointment with multiple powers keeps pets away thanks to its strong smell. Put a little on a few parts of your furniture and be sure that your cat will not go near it again!
