Pros: cures headaches instantly, helps cold symptoms
Cons: maybe the smell (doesn't bother me though)
Summary: Everyone talks about how Vick's VapoRub helps with cold symptoms and it does (it helped me clear my nose when I was sick, and reduced my coughs), but there's another practical use of this ointment as well. Under the “uses” section on the Vick's VapoRub ...

Pros: Soothing for chest and nasal congestion, very inexpensive, versatile for bad odors.
Cons: Some are sensitive to the ingredients, strong smell of its own, greasy.
Summary: When many of us think of childhood colds and flu, we also have the sensory memory of Vick's VapoRub. You don't remember the scratchy throat and nose swollen nearly shut and head stuffed with cotton as much as that tangy smell of camphor, eucalyptus and ...

Pros: works.
Cons: a little greasy and stinky.
Summary: I have had this same can of Vicks Vapo Rub for quite a while; so long that I can’t even tell you where or when I bought it, nor what I paid for it. I tend to use this rub at night when I have a cold, I rub it on my congested chest and the vapors seem to ...

Cons: effects are mild, greasy, lingering odor has some detractors
Summary: Vicks VapoRub Feels Like Love There are three things my parents did for me as a child that I still long for when I am sick. First, my father would place his big hand over my throat and gently feel for swollen glands. Second, one of my parents ...

Pros: Great OTC med for major cold/flu.
Cons: Still a little heavy on the feel.
Summary: I am 53 years old and I STILL use Vicks VapoRub. I also use it on my "little girl" who is 26 -- lol. This is one cold relief med that will never go out of style. When I was a kid in the 1950's, it was practically the only decongestant around. My ...

Pros: Nice scent, works instantly
Cons: a little greasy, but worth it.
Summary: If there is one thing I hate, it is to go to bed and have a snuff head. It not only gives you a headache from being all stuffed up but it makes it hard and uncomfortable to sleep. Well, there is a solution and it doesn't involve ingesting any type of ...
