    Sometimes i feel an intense itch on my skin that makes me want to scratch it, but its better to apply Vicks to make the itch go away. Also, use Vicks on a cotton swab to remove earwax from your ears. The earwax appears as a brown stain on the swab. When the brown stain is gone, the earwax is gone.

    Works for cold sores and warts, too! The camphor in Vick’s is also the same ingredient in Campho-Phenique, a medicine made for cold sores. It dries them up, and alleviates the itching and tingling. As far as the warts, just dab some Vaporub on the wart every day, cover it with a bandage, and it will be gone in a week or so (depending on the size of the wart).

    As I understand it, most of Vicks VapoRub is Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline). Petroleum Jelly can be used to keep away insects - I used it to keep fleas off me a few years ago by rubbing some on my body, the fumes generated by body heat keeps them away. I also used it to clear up skin fungal infections.
    The camphor and other stuff in VapoRub probably helps with the other things mentioned in the video.

      @@thequeenmyselfgrace9788 I get a little dab on my finger and dot it around my face. Then rub in like a moisturizer. If there's too much I wipe it off with a tissue. Always use immediately after a shower. Right after drying face with a towel. While skin is still damp. I do put it almost to the lower lashes, but not quite. It'll make my eyes water if I get too close. I don't put it below the eyebrows or on the upper eyelid. Or the lips. But the rest of the face, yes. Under the jaw and down the neck, too. The smell fades quickly. No one ever knew I wore it to work. They just said my skin looked great.

From rubbing it on your chest & neck to under each nostril, but the most effective when battling a bad cold with fever & chills, etc, my Mom (she was also an RN) would slather Vicks on our feet then pull on warm cotton socks (out of the dryer, ahhh!) then a a 2nd pair if big fuzzy socks! I swear we called it the "Cure" and it really works, still use it to this day. I always have a Big Jar of Vicks in my medicine cabinet. It doesn't surprise me that its got so many more hacks, its the miracle rub! 🛀🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    I use Vicks, just plain old Vicks for RLS--Restless Leg Syndrome. That is a condition when you are awakened from sleep with leg twitches. The funny thing is where the Vicks is applied--you rub a small amount on the instep of each foot, and then put sox on and go back to sleep. It works right away, every time.

    Yes Vicks will remove the visible signs of toenail fungus, but it may return, mine did. My toenail came loose from the toe, except at the very base, and all the cruft was gone. After I discontinued treatment the toenail reattached so I did not lose it but within a few weeks the signs of the fungus had returned. I have since heard that I should have continued the vicks application until the toenail fell off and let a new one form but unfortunately I have more than one infected toenail and I wasn't sure that toenails would grow back under that condition and I wasn't sure what the implications were of missing toenails.
