Plus your feet will smell minty fresh.....bonusXOMLE30 said:Try putting Vicks vapor rub on their feet and then put socks on right before bed, you can still put it on their chest too. It is like a miracle. No all night coughing, a good night sleep for everyone. I do this when I am sick too.
also because they can't rub it off and they still benefit from the vapors. It's especially helpful with very young kids and babies who may rub it then rub their eyes or put their hands in their mouthDadu2004 said:On their feet? I believe you that it works, but I don't understand. Maybe you can tell me why that's beneficial.
Good Point! Never thought of that.fallon said:also because they can't rub it off and they still benefit from the vapors. It's especially helpful with very young kids and babies who may rub it then rub their eyes or put their hands in their mouth
Nice, I'll definately try it out!XOMLE30 said:I am not sure of the science behind it. It has something to do with the heat the vicks creates causes blood to rush to the feet , therefore increasing circulation, hence easing congestion. ( i actually googled it to find some kind of answer for you )
Here is a quick example, the kids are staying with my mom again (hubby is not doing well) and my 3yo son has quite the head cold. Everynight before bed she does this, no coughing all night. Last night she did not, she listened to him cough for about 1/2 an hour befor she got up and put it on. Not another cough for the rest of the night.
Oh I love the vapor bath!!! It makes my kiddos so relaxed and sleepy when they're stuffy I still use it for Debra lyn when she's not feeling well. I steam the bathroom up pretty good and let the kids soak in a warm bath with the vapor bubble bathmeow_173 said:For Luke, i love using the J&J Vapour Bath. For me, neocitron and rest lol.
