Most people know Vicks VapoRub as a soothing ointment for coughs and colds. But did you know this little blue jar has many other clever and surprising uses? Thanks to its menthol, camphor, and eucalyptus oil, Vicks can be more versatile than you think. Here are eight ways to make the most of it:
1. Relieve Headaches
Apply a small amount to your temples and forehead. The menthol helps cool the skin and ease tension, bringing quick relief from headaches.
2. Ease Muscle and Joint Pain
Massage Vicks onto sore muscles or stiff joints. Its warming and cooling sensation improves blood flow and reduces discomfort.
3. Repel Mosquitoes
The strong smell of camphor and eucalyptus acts as a natural mosquito repellent. Dab some on your arms, legs, or ankles before bed to keep the bugs away.
4. Heal Cracked Heels
Before going to sleep, apply a thick layer of Vicks to your heels, wear socks, and leave overnight. It softens skin and helps heal dryness.
5. Treat Toenail Fungus
Apply Vicks directly to the affected toenail daily. The antifungal properties in its ingredients can help slow the growth of fungus.
