- I know this sounds crazy, but it works. If you do NOT want to get a bruise, rub vapor rub on your affected area and I guarantee you, it will NOT bruise. -Yomaira
- Place a tablespoon or two of the vapor rub in a diffuser that uses wax melts. Place the diffuser in the bathroom, turn it on, and close the door about 1/2 hour before bath time. The vapors will fill the room and mix with the humidity from the bath and help relieve congestion! This works great for little ones who won’t take medicine. -Lorie

Used Vicks for migraine help for years. I use it right when it starts to hurt while I am waiting for the medicine to kick it. It takes the edge off!
