I got this email last night, and thought it would be useful seems how it's cold and flu season!

PLEASE READ AND PASS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!! ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH
CHILDREN....



WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks. How come I never knew
this? I can't wait for my next cough. Amazing!
It works 100% percent 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 an adult, as we found out
personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at
bedtime and then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing
will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of
relief. This works 100 % percent 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 p art of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness
and usage of prescription cough medicines in children, as compared to
alternative therapies like acupressure. I just happened to tune into AM
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, and in addition to have a
soothing and c alming 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 it felt like a warm
blanket had enveloped her. The 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 fo r hours every night she used
it.

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

I have done this for my son when he has chest congestion. It seems to work. I do it after a warm bath.
