A friend told me to do this several years ago when I developed bronchitis while on chemo.. I figured I had nothing to lose, and it certainly couldn't hurt me. The first night I tried it, I slept through the night and my hubby was amazed that I didn't cough.

I saw this pinned on Pinterest. The body is amazing. My acupuncturist actually uses the feet to heal migraines, shoulder pain, breathing problems, etc... there is a correlation between the feet and the upper body. Another interesting thing is there is a correlation between the entire body and the ear. Our ears actually look like a fetus and it corresponds to the body for needling as well. He can take care of back pain with a needle in the ear! The human body is amazing.

I saw this on Pinterest about a week ago and remembered it tonight. I didn't have any vicks but I did have mentholatum ointment, it has more camphor, less menthol and no eucalyptus, but it seems to have worked. I put it on her feet just after 9:00 and by a little after 9:30 she stopped coughing. She is snoring pretty good, but not coughing. Thank you for putting this out there. I will try it myself when I get my next cough, which is sure to be soon with fall already in the air here in Michigan :-)Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094626877865766804.post-1245598517095844942009-02-10T21:42:00.000-07:002009-02-10T21:42:00.000-07:00I FOUND IT!!

It always kinda soothed and calmed me. My kids love it too, minus putting it on the nose. It always helped. <BR/>**Another tip with Vicks, Have a cold sore or chapped lips? Use a litte like carmex, however use vicks, and the next day it's gone and healed. For Reals, try it.<BR/>PS.

(I was up at 4am with thoughts of a project) I have to say I watched your little guy dancing to the washing machine more than once this morning. So adorable and just what I needed to put a big smile on my face and make my heart melt.

I asked our doc about it and she didn't think it would work, so I never tried it. Thank goodness he hasn't had a cough in a LONG time, but next time, I am doing this. Hearing them cough all night is one of the worst feelings as a parent, knowing there's so little you can do to help!!Thrifty Decor Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387609050626968143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094626877865766804.post-20496841890618006432008-11-20T19:59:00.000-07:002008-11-20T19:59:00.000-07:00I've never heard of this but now I am definately g...I've never heard of this but now I am definately going to try it out.AndreaLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947251123686458404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094626877865766804.post-32768626622962006802008-11-20T12:37:00.000-07:002008-11-20T12:37:00.000-07:00Wow, I would never have thought of that!
