Advantages: fast acting, reliable trustworthy name, easily available in chemist or supermarket

Disadvantages: the greasy feel it leaves

I love vicks vaporub. Firstly because it takes me back to my childhood where at the sign of snuffles mum used to put a dollop of vicks on a hankey and put it under my pillow.
But mainly I love it because it works!!
THeres nothing in my opinion to beat its soothing qualities when youre feeling lousy.
Vicks vaporub comes in a 50g blue palastic pot usually with a very long shelf life. You can spot it easily at the chemist or supermarket from its distinctive triangular vicks logo.
There are two ways to use Vicks vaporub, my preferred method is to rub on chest, throat and back. The menthol vapours instantly hit you when you unscrew the lid and that is wether youre all blocked up or not!
I find it really does aid restful sleep.
The second method is the inhalation method where it is recommended to melt 2 teaspoons into a bowl of hot water and to inhale the vapours for 10 - 15 minutes. Im not too keen on this method firstly as it stings my eyes and secondly because I dont like to sit with the bowl for 10 minutes!
I now also use vicks on my toddler as its also child friendly, although not advisable for babies under 6 months

Summary: tried, tested, trusted
