Rub your throat with Vicks and wrap it with a sock. Leave on for 2-3 hours or even overnight.

2. Decongests the nose and bronchial tubes

Rub some Vicks on your chest and put some under your nostrils to clear your bronchial tubes and stuffy nose.

3. Calm cough

To stop a cough, generously massage your feet with Vicks before going to bed. Then put on a pair of socks. Check out the trick here.

4. Relieves muscle tension

Massage your sore muscles with a good amount of Vicks. You will feel your muscles relax in just a few minutes.

5. Treats headaches

Put some Vicks on the temples and forehead. Massage yourself gently by closing your eyes for a few minutes. You will see how good it feels!

6. Relieves pain in the ear

To relieve pain in the ear, apply a small amount of Vicks to a small piece of cotton. Put it in your ear without pushing it too hard. Leave it in the ear for a few hours for it to take effect.

7. Eliminates nail fungus

Rub infected nails with Vicks. The nail will then take on a dark color, because the Vicks kills the fungus. The dark color will fade as the nail grows back.

8. Repels mosquitoes

Spread a little Vicks on the parts of your skin exposed to mosquito bites. You should be calm and avoid bites.

9. Relieves insect bites.

To make an acne pimple disappear, dab it with a little Vicks. This will dry out the pimple and heal it in no time.

12. Prevents cold sores

As soon as you feel the first tingles of the cold sore, rub the area with Vicks. This should prevent the cold sore or at least greatly reduce its size.

13. Removes splinters

Apply a little Vicks directly to the splinter before going to bed. Cover with a bandage. The next morning, the splinter should be on the bandage. Magic!
