Suffering with a cough?
If you have an awful cold with a cough that prevents you getting a good night’s sleep, you might want to try this weird trick. I recently saw this bizarre tip at people’s pharmacy. This remedy belongs to the old wives tale category. However, there were so many positive testimonials, i.e., moms giving it to their children, etc. I just had to share it with you. Now, I must admit the ingredients are not entirely natural and probably, you already have it in your meds cabinet. Can you guess what it might be? The clue is in the testimonials below.
The remedy may not work for everyone, and, although I could not see any contradations does not mean there aren’t any. Therefore, do your research in case you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
“I was skeptical about Vicks for my feet, but my current cough and other symptoms were keeping me from doing anything, especially sleeping. I begged my husband to pick up some Vicks VapoRub on his way home from work. It was a long, hacking, aching wait! But I finally got the stuff on my feet and drifted off to sleep peacefully within about 5 minutes. I’m praying for similar effects during the day so I can get back to work soon.” Angela
“I wouldn’t have tried it or believed it, but at 3AM I was desperate to suppress my constant cough and sleep! So I decided to try it and IDK why it worked, but it did. Lasted for several hours; I’ve done it twice now!” D.K.C.
“I have heard for several years that when your child has a cough you should put Vicks on his feet. I thought it was ridiculous. Why would that work? On his chest, yes, but feet? So I hadn’t done that.
“My son coughs until he starts to vomit. Every single time he gets even the slightest cold, he does that. He’s seven years old and has a nasty virus right now, as do I.
“I decided to try Vicks on his chest. I didn’t remember it working that well when I was a kid, so I hadn’t tried it before.
“My husband said to put it on his feet. So, I said, ok, I’ll try it. Still thinking it was silly, I put it on his feet but not mine.
“I am amazed. He slept all night with no coughing. I know because I would have heard him; I was awake most of the night coughing. I didn’t put it on my feet.” Gayle
“This absolutely works for me. I usually get bronchitis at least 1-2 times per year and Vicks on the soles of my feet stops the cough so I can sleep. Usually works in 5-10 minutes.” Pat
If you try this, please share your results with the forum and share the love.
