8 Unusual ways to use Vicks Vaporub

One of the most commonly used medications for congestion is Vicks VapoRub.  You’d be surprised to know this helpful medication has been around for over 160 years. It’s used on the chest, back, and throat to treat nasal congestion and coughs. But did you know you can use it for other things too?

Here are 8 other helpful ways to use Vicks VapoRub that you didn’t know about.

1. Treats Headaches

Vicks VapoRub can help lessen the pain from tension or sinus headaches. It can even help treat a migraine headache. This is because of the camphor, eucalyptus oil, and menthol found in Vicks VapoRub.

2. Relives Achy Muscles

Another great use for Vicks VapoRub is to soothe sore, overworked and achy muscles.  This is because of the menthol in it, which helps blood flow properly and quickly soothes achy muscles.

3. Soothes Insect Bites

If you have a mosquito, ant, chigger or any other insect bite, Vicks VapoRub can help ease the itchiness and burning feeling.

The cooling menthol in Vicks soothes the itching feeling and can lessen the risk of blisters and infections.
