Yes, I have heard of this treatment, and know of 2 people who tried it with great success.

One used Vicks in the jar, and the other used Vicks in the lotion like tube. With both, the before and after pictures were amazing.

I haven't personally tried it; however, I've heard countless success stories.

Vicks has a lavender scent. It certainly smells like Vicks, but less mild. I haven't picked up a strong lavender scent with it, albeit, I've been stuffy most of the times I've opened it.

Vicks is also a great treatment for those awful bright purple bruises that occur as we get older.

Rub some Vicks on them and they disappear much more quickly, my Derm recommended it and it really works!

Count me as a believer in Vicks for many things; haven't needed it for feet. I use it inside my nose when air is very dry.

@nana59 yes Vicks on your feet will help with congestion. I put on socks after putting Vicks on feet. One caution, if you get in the shower with any trace of Vicks on your feet, you will be prone to slip. I found out the hard way. Best to you.

VapoRub contains oils, petroleum jelly and thymol. It's the thymol which helps get rid of hard flaking by inhibiting the growth of new cells leading to softer more clear skin.

I've just started getting those bruises on my forearms and hands, whenever I hit something with any force

. Like out of the blue, one day there they were!!

I remember when my parents started getting them, but they were on blood thinners and blamed that. I'm on no meds, but still get them now.

I'll have to give Vicks a try. Thank you.

Arnica reduces bruising, too, and it doesn't stink. I use the Arnicare Bruise Relief Gel. @blueroses47

A week or two ago I read that Vicks works well on the feet to relieve tiredness, foot pain, muscle pain.

@nana59 I have tried Vicks with socks in the winter and it helped softened rough feet. I have found organic Castor oil to be very healing too. It has good antifungal properties in it and not such a strong scent.

@nana59 My DH used it to cure toenail fungus.It worked in less than a week! And, we always used it on our feet and chests for colds and congestion. It's like Windex!

I have been using the store brand equivalent for years on my feet. I apply after showering and before bed with socks. I still have to use a metal foot file lightly on my heels, but my feet stay smooth. It beats any "foot cream" I've used by a mile.

Put vicks on feet then cover with cotton socks. The absolute cure for coughing when you have a cold

When I was a kid, my mom thought Vicks was a cure for everything. Years later a co-worker told me to apply Vicks to my feet to cure a cough. It worked!
