Can Vicks Rubbed on Feet Help A Cough?

My Grandpa was a firm believer in using Vicks for almost every affliction. To help a cough. You rub it on the soles of your feet, then put some socks on.














When my children were little. I used this. It worked really well. However, I did not take them outside with it on. If we did have to go anywhere, I made sure to give them a bath first, to wash away the vicks.

Most of the time, it takes being desperate, to try something like this. That is what I would call what happened with me. It was after my first child was born. I had a difficult time in the delivery. She was a 7 pound baby, but she was turned wrong. We are blessed to both be here today. I had hemorrhoids the size of golf balls, afterwards. I was miserable. My Grandpa said "Put some Vicks on them, it will help." I was not to thrilled at the thought of that. A couple days went by, I kept thinking of what my grandpa said. So I broke down and tried it. Oh my the cooling sensation. The effects of applying Vicks directly onto a hemorrhoid (when the skin isn’t broken) is an almost instant cooling and soothing sensation and hemorrhoid shrinkage. In some cases, shrinkage has been stated as being instantaneous, reducing the hemorrhoid in size dramatically, as much as 50% in some cases within a few minutes.

How have you used Vicks?

Don't Be So Hard On Yourself!

This is easier said than done sometimes.  We tend to want to wait until we have reached our goals to be proud of it.  Don't wait until you've reached it.  Celebrate the little accomplishments along the way!  We also tend to be overly critical of ourselves.  I know that I am diffidently guilty of this one.  I am my own worse critic!  Every step we take gets us closer to our goal!

The more we do something the more you improve, right?  Just like when our child learns to take his first step, and say their first words.  We get excited and feel proud.  That is what we need to do for each step closer we get to our goals!  This way if you look at it like this, every step is bringing you closer and closer to your goal. Celebrate the pure fact that you have the courage and determination to take those steps.  I know that sometimes our directions change, or we may not end up where we originally planned to be. Then what?  How miserable would we be if we only celebrated outcomes?  Let's start working on celebrating all the hard work we put in to obtain our goals.

Before anyone else can believe us, we have to believe in us, right?  Stop being so hard on yourselves, me included.  Be proud of how far you've come, so far!  Don't give up!
