Coughing

Sorry, no graphic for this one, and don't laugh, it works 100% of the
time although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who
discovered it)aren't sure why.To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or
adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub 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.

I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings
on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the
effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as
compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. 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 surprising 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.

An adult friend 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.

So, if you have grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it
yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect.

What do you have to lose?

Thanks, sweet. I'll remember this for the next time I need it.

OMG!!!! Wow,, I am going to try this right now my son has had a cough
for the past three days and nothing I do helps it,,, Will get back to
you on this {{{Wanda}}}}}

Thanks for posting this! It's certainly worth trying.

Wow, Vick Vap O Rub sure has a lot of uses...will have to try it for the
cough thing next time. Have also heard it is good for nail fungus too.

Wear socks or you can slip when you get up for a glass of water and
break your neck. Then the cough will seem worse even if it isn't.

Debunking the world one fine thread at a time. grins.

I'll have to remember that, I was up almost all night last night and the
night before coughing because of my allergies.

This works like a charm. We have been using it in my family and it
works every time.
