How Do I Benefit From Vicks Vapor Rub For Sore Throat Pain?

Vicks, Socks & Sore Throats

Many of us recall Mom bringing out the Vicks-Vapo-Rub when we came down with childhood colds and sore throats. The base ingredient, eucalyptus, really does help relieve symptoms because it has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and analgesic properties. I still swear by its powers and when I get a sore throat, out comes the Vicks, a clean white tube sock, and a safety pin. Vicks gets rubbed from my glands by my ears, on my throat area and on goes the sock. This is especially helpful at bedtime.
