A little snippet of info came my way yesterday. Vicks vapour rub and the benefits.

The list of uses are quite amazing!.

Unfortunately I can't do links but it can be found on the Fight back Forum.

Be interested if anyone has come across these uses?

I'm guessing that Vicks might have similar properties to something like deep heat which can help with pain. and if you've got a headache from stuffy sinuses it might relieve that a bit. It's just a guess though. Back to the old days of your nan rubbing a bit of Vicks on your chest for everything from a cold to tummy ache, eh?

Hello BOB Here

All I can remember is that I agree regards rubbing sore joint with it as it contains Menthol.

All I can remember is going to work when young and daft, smelling the control out with it

All the best

It will clear up a fungal nail infection...!! I used to work in the beauty industry and our beaticians used to apply it under the infected nail with a sterile orange stick if they came across one during a mani/pedi and would recommend the client to continue the regime at home. I can't remember which off the top of my head but some of the ingredients have natural antibacterial and antifungal properties so it helps to prevent spreading as well as curing!
