In several of my other videos I’ve had so many wonderful questions and comments about Vick’s Vapor Rub so I’m going to go a little deeper a little more interesting hopefully this will give you lots of good information that you can use particularly if you’re having respiratory issues now we look at Vic’s Vapor Rub It is a cough suppress and topical analgesic so first let’s get the topical analgesic out of the way that means we’re putting it on our skin our muscles when our muscles are hurting
when they’re spasming when they’re tight when they’re cramping you can use vix or vapor rub on those muscles and it will work as an analgesic it will help take away the pain take away the burning the aching and will actually hopefully give you a lot of relief now this has caner eucalyptus and Menthol as its main active ingredients and I love natural remedies when it comes to helping our body limiting the medication that we take preventing side effects or serious problems that could occur from those
drugs I always like to use a fly swatter instead of a sledgehammer try to treat the body naturally so the body can repair itself so let’s first talk about camper camper works as a Bronco dilator a decongestion it suppresses coughs it helps open up the airway and it helps treat inflammation so when our sinuses our throat and our chest is congested it’s tight our lungs are not getting its oxygen we’re sick from the virus or from the bacteria we’re producing lots of mucus if we can vasod dilate and open up
that area to allow more oxygen to get into those lungs we’re going to breathe in more oxygen to the cells within our body and that’s going to give you lots of relief particularly to get you to sleep and to keep you sleeping through the night night and Eucalyptus is also used for the nose and chest to help relieve congestion the eucalyptus oil loosens fleem it helps you breathe so much easier and it’s been commonly used to help treat bronchitis coughs and the flu and Menthol helps reduce Airway pain
and irritation and Menthol can be effective as working as a mucco litic to help thin out that mucus and loosen flame and the combination of the camper eucalyptus and Menthol all working together synergistically is very effective when it comes to decongesting our lungs our chest and they all have cough suppressants Within These oils now the best thing to do is take a little bit of this Vapor Rub and put it on the chest as well as the neck keep it covered keep your shirt on with your shirt on those fumes make its way
upwards into the nasal area opening up the sinuses and as we breathe it in it’s going to help work down into the bronch ey as well as into the lungs do not put it inside the nose I have at times put it underneath the nasal area although they don’t suggest it so I not suggesting it for you but by putting it on the chest and neck should give you great results and another great thing you can do to decongest the sinuses and open up the brona and lungs is that if you have a facial steamer you can put a little bit of this vapor rub inside
the hot water let boil and it will Steam and these oils makes its way up along with the Mist that hot warm moisture that causes more vasil dilation that will help Excel the production of that mucus that you’re that you’re holding on to as well as open up the bronchite into the lung so you can get more oxygen and if you don’t have a facial steamer bow a small potle water take it off take a little bit of VI Vapor Rub put it inside the steaming water take a towel put it over your head lean over don’t get too
low to where you burn yourself and let those fumes make its way up your nasal area and another great remedy that if you’re sick from a virus or a bacteria with the flu or the cold or just having a lot of congestion you take a little bit of EX Vapor Rub and put it into both fingers and then go in the temple area and little circles stimulate it and rub it all around and do that for a minute or two this will reduce the headache stimulating sensory AER changes going into the brain as well as the Menthol eucalyptus en camper
