GIVE IT A TRY -- Vicks Vaporub for a cough!!!!

Ok - this is not scientific or FDA approved, nor would it have to be, but hey it just might help!! Vicks is good for a lot of things, so they've added one more. If you have a child with a night time cough and you can't find anything to help - try VICKS!! Put the Vicks vaporub generously on the bottoms of both feet at bedtime - then cover with socks. The vicks is supposedly absorbed through the foot soles - and thus, absorbing in the vicks and soothing the child - the cough generally stops in about 5 minutes and lasts for several hours.

Scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why. But hey, if it works - that's WONDERFUL!!!!

Let me know if you try this at home and what results you had!! Thanks - Beth!!
