I got this email from a friend and thought I'd share with you. It makes sense...can't hurt. THIS IS FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T HEARD ABOUT IT YET

> Subject: VICKS VAPO RUB... INTERESTING

>
> *During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the
> foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on
> your feet and within 20 minutesyou can 'taste' it.
>
> Some of us have used Vicks Vapo rub for years for
> everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body
> parts in between But I've never heard of
> this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although
> the & nbsp;scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To
> stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found
> out personally), put Vicks Vapo rub 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, 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.
>
> Just happened to tune in A.M. 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 surprise finding and found to
> be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at
> bedtime, in addition to hav e a soothing and calming effect
> on
> sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

> My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep

> 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.
