Hi Everyone.
This was a message I received from a friend and I tried it out ... IT WORKS !!
Being the season for coughs, I thought I should pass it on to all of you .... no harm trying is there ?
"It works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research
council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.
To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out
personally),put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then
cover with socks.
Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay
stopped for many, many hours of relief.
Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very
strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing
and comforting and they will sleep soundly.
I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on
the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness
and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to
alternative therapies like acupressure. Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio
and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do
more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I
listened.
It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed
medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and
calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.
An adult friend tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and
persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt
like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes
and believe me, this was a deep, ( incredibly annoying!) every few seconds
uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that>she used it
So, if you have kids/grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it
yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect ."
Pass it on....
