remedy to stop coughing
It works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.
To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally),
put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then
cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5
minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief.
Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very
strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing
and comforting and they will sleep soundly.
It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.
An adult friend tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and
believe me, this was a deep, (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds
uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that
she used it.
So, if you have kids/grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try
yourself and you will be absolutely amazed.
It works for me but.....
the source of the above research is bogus:

vics Vapourub apparently clears the nasal passages..it does not cure coughs and don't use it on children under 3 months either....

its seems that i worked for others and not for some.
treys, keep that QR socks as memorabilia as well. :-)
absolute rubbish, Vics Vaporub is not an antitussive (a cough supressant), its harmless but it won't work. cough medicines are now contraindicated in children under 3...........
