Not good
Jan 19, 2016 09:00 PM 2620 Views (via Android App)

Hello.It is a long running product by vicks. it is an ointment type of thing which is used externally against cold and flu int specially chest nose and forehead sections of the body. personally I dont like it. whenever I used it in my forehead, it caused burning sensation in my eyes. I think it doesnot work a little bit against flu. only it reduces the allergetic problems of snooch during common cold. I will say anybody to use a better ointment.

Vicks Vaporub is the lotion who works in cold and pain relief. I like it very much for its brand name and as such a relief in body.I bought it for me by my mother.It use providing long lasting relief up to eight hours from mainly cold for a peaceful nght There in market it sale in every market.


It has been found to be widely effective, but there are some precautions for its take because menthol and camphor mix in the jelly. It can be harmful  to a infant babies. Moreover it can lead to increase in our mucus mainly abies.Because their resistance power is less.It is banned many ciities.


But everything has negative and positive matter.Application of Vicks Vaporub to the soles of childrens feet effectively counters night time cold.


So Vapor Rub is the other alternates of it Hopefully cold and flu wont strike at your home, but in case it does this natural Vapor Rub is a good remedy.

Vicks Vaporub
Jan 01, 2016 11:48 AM 2409 Views

Vicks Vaporub is a very useful solid lotion mainly in winter which acts against cold and gives relief, Vicks vaporub uses can only observed if only if it is used properly, for effective results we have to apply on the nose, apply on the chest on fore head.


It is good to apply vicks to cloth and rub it against other end of the cloth for a minute and smelling it frequently will helps the blocked nose to have a fresh and free breath. Mostly this product is suggested to kids, always good to carry Vicks vaporub, and good to know that vicks vaporub is available for 2rs which has small content. Vicks is best and there is no alternative which gives the same as vicks.

Powerful Medicine for Cold
Dec 28, 2015 10:16 AM 2463 Views

Vicks vaporub comes in a small bottle and is available in the market very easily. It gives great relief when someone is suffering from cold, blocked nose and head ache. As I suffered from cold these days and I used it for 2-3 days, believe me it has done its job very well. It worked like a magical medicine for my chest pain, head ache and blocked nose.


To feel better I used it in warm water and taking its steam as the process is very effective. Whenever my family member suffer from cold I provide them the same medicine. It doesn't create any problem or side effect on children too. I have taken certain oral tablets but they are not so much effective as vicks vaporub. It gives solution to 4-5 problems of cold with just applying and inhaling with steam.


Highly recommend it for the cold related issue

Best menthol topical ointment in the market
Dec 11, 2015 12:55 AM 2577 Views

Vicks vaporub: best menthol topical ointment in the market: I have grown up using vicks vaporub which indicates how long it has been around in the market. it is applied on the nose and chest during cold and cough. It is used on kids( aged 2+) and adults alike. We also use it to relieve ached muscles and it really works like a charm. It really helps when you have nasal congestion and are unable to breathe properly.


Its strong menthol fragrance opens blocked noses thereby making you able to breathe well. when applied on the chest, nose and back it is extremely effective. It can also be added to the water you take your steam with when you are unwell and it unblocks the congestion. However, of late there has been several controversies  surrounding vicks vaporub. Several studies suggest that using it can affect the airways and also irritate the natural process of mucus distribution.

Miracle for cold
Dec 09, 2015 02:01 PM 2249 Views

I still remember that my mum used to rub vicks on my nose and chest, in case of congestion and cold, and a warmth used to sweep over me, making me feel drowsy, and then I use to sleep on peacefully. I have grown up but there are certain things that do not change. I still have Vicks in my drawer, to rescue me from a breaking pout of flu or something, and even to take care of minor ailments.


This is one product which has been used by many past generations, and will be used in future too. Vicks is just the best, and a miracle for cold.

  1. Decongest Your Chest




The most common use of Vicks is to decongest your chest and throat area. When applied to the upper chest, it provides excellent relief of cough and congestion symptoms.




  1. On Your Tootsies




Applying Vicks to your feet provides nighttime cough relief. Generously rub VapoRub all over your feet and cover them with socks. Within moments your cough will subside—in the morning you’ll wake up a new, hacking free woman.




  1. Achy Breaky Muscles




Vicks relieves sore, overworked muscles. It increases circulation and provides almost instant aid. Use a generous portion and apply it all over the aching area.(Be sure to warn your bedmate as the stench can ensure a nookie-free night.)




  1. Get Rid of Nasty Nail Fungus




Rub VapoRub on your toenails if you suspect you have a fungus. Within days, the nail will turn dark—this means the Vicks is killing the fungus. As your toenail grows out, the dark part will grow off and you will have fungus-free feet. Keep applying the ointment over a period of two weeks to fully cleanse nail beds of any remaining bacteria.




  1. Stop Your Cat from Scratching




Cats are notorious for scratching every hard surface they get their claws on. To prevent Miss Kitty from ruining your doors, walls, and windows, apply a small amount of VapoRub to these areas. Cats detest the smell and will steer clear. Vicks can also be applied to your arms and legs if your kitty is prone to scratching you.

Thumbs up for vicks vaporub
Dec 04, 2015 01:44 PM 2825 Views (via Android App)

Vicks vaporub is manufactured by most popular brand vicks. Vicks products are manufactured by proctor and gamble, made for different cough symptoms. Vaporub is directed for use on chest and throat to be cure from cold. Some vaporubs are also used for joint pains and muscle pains.


I have bought this vicks vaporub for cold. I really feel very tired and suffer from cold fever during winters. So vicks help me to cure from headaches, excessively coldness and give me comfort. It also reduces fatigue in my body.


As a 21year young man its strong fragrance and instant effect suit me very much. So I decided to buy it.


It give instant cure from head ache and provide better feeling of freshness during cold. I always used it as ointment and sometimes inhale through hot streams


Before that I was using Amrutanjan but I felt better in case of vicks vaporub. Amutanjan takes too long to reduce my fatigue and sometimes I didn't feel well by using it. It has very less effect to prevent coldness or we say it has no effect. Only vicks has the strong effect to get cure from minor cold fevers.


It has also very good effect on nasal congestion for the common cold and flu. Its fragrance also quite adorable.


But recently I come to know that it is harmful for infants and small children.


It contains camphor which is very toxic in nature may produce harmful diseases if accidentally someone consumer it. It also highly affect respiratory system of human being especially children below 2years.


Si ultimately It can be very useful for adults to get cure from cold and cough symptoms. It shows precautions as it can not used by below 2year children but from my point of view it must not used by up to 12years children. Asthma suffered people must stay away from that.


So for now my thumb is up towards it and best to use it besides precautions.
