NEW USE FOR GOOD OLD VICK'S

I caught a cold sometime this week. With all the sniffling and blowing and sneezing and coughing sleep was hard to come by. Not to long ago I e-mailed all my children and friends a way to stop coughing at night. It's so simple! All you do is rub Vick's Vapo Rub on the bottom of your feet before you go to bed, put socks on and in 15 minutes the coughing goes away. The effect lasted all night! I also experienced a reduction in the congestion.

The explanation for this effect is that we readily absorb stuff through our feet. If you don't believe it rub some garlic on the bottom of your feet. In 15 minutes you will begin to taste the garlic.

When I think of all the hours I've spent awake with coughing children I really want to share this simple remedy. I hope you will try it.
