Place A Cotton Ball With Vaporub In Your Ear All Night – Guess What Happens?

Foot Fungus

If you find your toenail has been infected with foot fungus, try rubbing Vicks on it as many as two to three times per day. Unlike some of these other miracle cures, this one may take a little longer, with users reporting results up to several months after treatment began.

Muscle Cramps

If you find your muscles have been aching, try applying a generous amount of Vicks to the troubled spot and then wrap it tightly in a dry, warm towel.

Animal and Bug Repellent

For pets that like to scratch furniture, a dab of Vicks to any valuable items is a simple method of keeping them at bay. Along a similar vein, a dab of Vicks can also keep bugs away. Best of all, even if some bugs do manage to get through, Vicks is great at soothing bug bites.

Bruising and Cuts

Finally, Vicks can be used on bruises with a mixture of salt to greatly speed up healing by increasing blood circulation. While Vicks can be used on the outer area of cuts to promote the same increased healing, it is not recommended to be applied directly to open wounds under any circumstances.
