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 minutes you 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 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 i n 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 have 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 constant and
persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 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.
If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick, try it
yourself and you will be absolutely amazed at how it works.
DON'T SHUN THIS ONE.. TRY IT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET A BAD COLD.
