Vicks Vaporub 50g

Vicks VapoRub, a mentholated topical ointment produced by Procter & Gamble, is widely utilized for alleviating cough and congestion. Its active ingredients include camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus oil, which work together to provide relief. When applied to the chest and throat, Vicks VapoRub helps to ease breathing by creating a cooling sensation that can relieve congestion. Additionally, it acts as a cough suppressant. Beyond respiratory relief, the ointment is also used to soothe sore muscles and joints due to the analgesic properties of camphor and menthol. While some anecdotal uses include treating minor skin issues like acne or repelling mosquitoes, these applications are less conventional. It is important to note that Vicks VapoRub should not be used on children under two years old and should be kept away from the eyes and nostrils.
