I always told the parents of my patients about his theory when they asked about Vicks.

I love the name! <BR/><BR/>About Vicks, I got an email suggesting that it should be applied on the soles of the foot, not on the chest or back as the underside of the foot is porous and has good absorption capabilities. The instruction said to apply Vicks then put on socks to get rid of night time coughs both for children and adults. <BR/><BR/>I have also seen products like foot patches and my dad's doctor also recommends it. My dad is a diabetic and his legs are swollen due to retention of liquids. He uses the patches and I swear it works so I'm thinking there might be some truth to this Vicks thing I got in the email?<BR/><BR/>Any thoughts on this?<BR/><BR/>-----<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://instantamber.com/news" REL="nofollow">Child Safety News at InstantAmber</A>Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172476900042917650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-40451117860345793432009-01-15T14:59:00.000-06:002009-01-15T14:59:00.000-06:00I've heard putting it on your feet can do wonders,...I've heard putting it on your feet can do wonders, but the strong smell has kept me from trying it.

I used it once, it didn't work, so I never used it again. I also wasn't happy with the ingredients, specifically petrolatum and fragrance, so leaving it behind was no skin off my back.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13783085707283000645noreply@blogger.com
