Age-Old Cough Remedy

The balm wouldn’t be what it is today if it could not work as an alternative cough remedy. After all, it was marketed as a ‘Croup and Pneumonia Salve’ when it first came out in the late 1800s. So, it’s always good to have ‘Vicks Vaporub’ around the house because we can never tell when we would catch the cough or cold virus.

One of the many ways the concoction could help with respiratory problems is by applying it on the chest and back. Then, there’s also adding ‘Vicks’ with water as we steam. Lastly, some people swear that their condition improved by putting the salve on their feet and covering them with socks.
