If you are a lazy viewer who can’t pay attention to a 10 minute video and are going to blame this wonderful lady for your problems by saying the video was to long, as some of you already have, then I want you to save your breath. Below are the 12 different uses Jewels mentions for mentholated vapor rub along with where you can find it in the video. As for me I think her voice is as soothing as the mentholated vapor rub she is talking about and that she is more attractive than Piper Perabo and Angalina Jolie put together and I will probably watch the video a couple more times just so I can hear and watch her speak. 1. Cystic acne 2:20 2. Migraines 3:40 3. Cold relief (via feet) 4:20 4. Stretch marks 4:42 5. Loose skin 5:32 6. Toenail fungus 6:02 7. Dog & Cat training aid 6:50 8. Cuts splinters & bug bites 8:02 9. Safe alternative to bug spray 8:20 10. Healing bruises 8:53 11. Fake tears 9:12 12. Eczema, Rosacea 9:40 Thanks for the useful tips Jewels. I very much appreciate it and you can be assured I will put them to use.

THANK YOU

[@bensharratt537]

Thank you

[@theREALAUDIOARCADE]

so basically you agree with the lazy viewer ? or u wouldnt have this up...

[@AnthonyRizzo2]

If I agreed with the lazy viewer I wouldn't have taken the time to put up what I did. What I don't want is to read stupid comments like, "Oh it's too long"

[@AnthonyRizzo2]

***** The video is exactly 11 minutes long. Brushing your teeth takes longer than that. The video is not long. Rambling means going of topic. Does she really go off topic? You'd be surprised. Go back and check. Maybe even do a time stamp of it if you're so inclined. Saying it's not a dis does not take away that it is disrespectful to falsely label something because it did not turnout the way you expected it. I posted an index for the video to prove a point and that is that if I could listen through the video and find out where every segment begins than so could everybody else. What the video is, is detailed. It is not brief, not an outline or a tweet. It is a through explanation of a series of uses for a common medicine chest ointment. So that she was able to give all that detail in just 11 minutes I think it is exactly the opposite of what you say. It is a short concise video. Maybe you and others wanted her to just say one sentence on each use but then the video would not have turned out as she intended. If you think that a 2 minute video spitting out a list with one sentence each is better than post one. Otherwise stop being critical and appreciate the time and effort that went into giving such useful information.

[@vanessalacks9072]

Just to let you know, my grandmother gave us a spoon of a cough medicine she made containing Vicks vapo rub. It had in it honey,lemon juice, brandy olive oil and Vicks rub. she melted all of it down and left it sitting on the stove to keep it liquid. I am 51 years old and I never catch colds. I was crossing the street in NY when, a bus went by with a sign that said grandma was right you can take Vicks rub orally. after that I aways keep it in my house because my husband always have a cold.

[@vanessalacks9072]

Obviously not you!!!!!! BTW, I don't think I was talking to you!!!!

[@polloduh]

I rubbed vicks on 4 turtles and a rat, and now they protect the streets of new York.

[@dianesylvester156]

Yours is the first & so far ONLY Vick’s video that rightly emphasizes that Vick’s should not be used near the eyes! I’ve worked in ophthalmology for 25 years, so I’d like to say thank you for researching & offering responsible suggestions.

[@kenlal8049]

Thanks for the great video. You can also use Vicks for back pain. It works as a rub on your skin and it numb the pain away so that you feel better. It helps the skin to breath better. Its also good to use if you have a cold, to add a little to a small pot of water and boil it. Breath in the vapors as a it boils and it kills the cold virus. I put it on my head with some coconut oil whenever I have a headache. You can also put it around your nose if you have a hard time breathing due to allergies. You can mix a little bit of vicks with some epson salt in a bucket of warm water to soak your feet. Thanks!

[@fleckx]

This worked for me. I was told to put it on a fresh pimple so it would burst on its own quickly. It works for that. So the other night I tried it on a couple of these cystic acne spots on my body that just weren't going away and they shrank visibly overnight. I'm going to start lathering my body in this stuff.

[@markem9415]

In 1995 I lost my arm during an industrial accident. After rubbing Vic's Vapor Rub on my wound for a few months, a new little arm starting growing out! I can't really do much with it besides wave at people, but it's cute as f*ck!

[@markem9415]

Thank you for all your support! (waves @ everyone)

[@Litzbitz]

I had a bad abcess and couldn't go to dentist. My daughter told me to put campho-phenique on the outside of my mouth and it would heal it. I only had vicks vapo rub and since it had camphor in it I started rubbing it on the outside of my mouth where the abcessed tooth was. Next morning I could tell the swelling was going down. In two days the abcess was done for. I love vicks.

[@TSunshineful]

Eucalyptus is the key there. Put some Eucalyptus oil in some olive or coconut oil if for many things, especially if you don't want to mess with the menthol. Thanks for all the Vicks tips!

[@ellet.162]

My dad told my mom that when she passed away he was just going to open a jar of Vicks and set it on her pillow and he would never know she was gone...

[@monalisasmilestorres9445]

aww that's so cute an sad

[@yourputer]

I put Vicks on every greeting/holliday card I ever have my ex-wife and I was able to get rid of her in just 8 or 9 years. Yeah me!

[@CoreyTruman]

Littering crying and laughing at the same time

[@MrLyndarenaud]

Corey Osborne...how much litter did you have to use?

[@niccolealdrich4890]

vicks is a great deterant for ants and lady bugs along with mosquitos. just rub some around windows and doorways to keep pests out. u can also use liquid vicks and spray it. i personally prefer the cream as it seems to last longer. reapply when u notice pests coming inside again. i also use this on my tent when i go camping.

[@LeonMire]

I used it for toenail fungus, first filing down the nail and then applying it liberally on and around the nail. Worked better than any of the many products I tried.

[@Anabia361]

For how long?

[@armandopina739]

The vicks on the feet is something I do when I have a cold or flu. It does help quite a bit.

[@nariko47]

If u have eye pain (due to stress, head ache, sinus pressure... etc) put a little vicks on ur upper and lower eye lids, and it 'll make u cry - releasing pressure; will make u feel better!

[@snehaljogale995]

R u like crazy?...utter nonsense::>_

[@smellmeyanab]

Snehal Jogale i use to use it to go to sleep lmaooo so i can never open my eyes to look at my phone

[@nariko47]

Snehal Jogale that's such bullshit, I wouldn't put something up if it was dangerous and stupid to do. Doctors that study migraines have said it themselves. You're NOT putting vicks in your eyes idiot, it's on the upper eye lid and even then you don't glob it on, you put very little just so your eye can release a bit of pressure.

[@Mimi-ds3cy]

Never do that..... IT BURNS SO BADLY!

[@nariko47]

Redchondro That's because you're probably doing it wrong.

[@LyraKeltica61]

This is a great video, thank you. We also use Vicks as well. You tought me a lot in this video and I'm 53 and have been using it all my life and on my children and grandchildren. When the kids got sick we always put Vicks on their throat, chest, lung area of the back, under their nose and on the bottom of their feat and made them a hot tottie and put them to bed. They were always better in the morning. I have always used Vicks for deep muscle pain, especially at night when you get those nasty charlie horses. I also put Vicks all over my abds, and wrap myself in a clean, new black plastic garbage bag and wear supper tight shorts and top before I start my workouts. When I am done with my work out and take it off it is soaked all the way through to my shorts. I shower and I swear my stomach looks smaller and smaller all the time. I also use Vicks for severe itching, not just bug bites, but from having my legs on the grass, too dry skin in the Winter, etc... Vicks and Vaseline are two important remedies for me. Take care, GOD bless............

[@holiday36576]

Thank you so much for posting this, I've tried some of the suggestions and found them to be true and helpful. THANK YOU!!!

[@baltimoreballs]

Helps shrink hemorrhoids as well. Put a little on your finger tip and rub it on the outer hemorrhoids. You can insert the tip of your pinkie for inner problems. It really doe's help.

[@emhisula]

Did it work?

[@baltimoreballs]

Very well. It really shrinks and relieves the pain.

[@ronnieleftwich7491]

you are right, it will numb them for a bit and they will go down in size. my legs don't work so well so i spend a lot of time sitting so i know that it works. :)

[@JoseSFrancis]

RONNIE LEFTWICH Try Nikken Megastep, Ronnie

[@NicoleLeeHealth]

Robert Thomas burn?

[@PollyBunch]

Whenever I was sick my grandma used to put this on my chest like normal but also would massage it into my back all over. It's instantly soothing, helps you breathe easier and fall asleep quickly too. I use this method now for asthma that I was just diagnosed with as an adult. And it has the same effects

[@Drlilkid2009]

Does it help with the coughing & bronchospasm associated with the asthma? I was just diagnosed a year ago. The coughing & bronchospasm drive me nuts!

[@PollyBunch]

+Jane Doe For me it really helps like loosen the mucus in my lungs and the inflammation. Whenever I'm feeling tight it helps me be able to relax a bit. Most of the time I don't cough at night but when I do it's bad and it seems to help. It's definitely worth a try!

[@HeatherWeber09]

Great ideas!! Thank you so much for this little tutorial! I always have Vicks around so I'm gonna try some of these. I'll let you know how it works! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@hotyoga1]

Excellent... !!!! Very informative... i did No so much about all the properties of Vicks. i grow up with it ... always used in the winter. Thank YOU

[@catrinahaider]

When my daughter was born, she had really bad colic which is gas in her tummy. A family friend suggested I put Vicks or Mentholatum on her belly button or if she still had her umbilical cord (which she did) then put it, not on, but around her belly button area. I swear it worked within 15 minutes. I put a onesie on her just in case she touched her belly so she couldn't get it in her eyes. Up to 15 minutes later it sounded like popcorn in her diaper. LOL She and I both were able to get some much needed sleep. Oh and this works on adults as well in case you wondered. Gas pains can be very painful and putting some Vicks or Mentholatum (whichever you have) on or around your belly button will make your gas pains start to go away within 15 minutes. Just be sure to go to a room by yourself if you are easily embarrassed about passing gas.

[@frak2003]

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and I use Vicks when I run out of my topical cream. The vicks works like a charm plus it's only a couple bucks.

[@KumquatKreates]

Thank you for posting this information. My husband had large bruises on his left arm, which have been there for months. Not dangerous, but looked awful. I rubbed Vicks with salt combo as suggested and after 3 applications, they went completely away. I was amazed and my husband is pleased.

[@Jennifr1966]

In a pinch, it works as a mild muscle rub as well. It has the same ingredients, just in smaller doses!

[@bellacruz6819]

It also definitely works on ache lol I have been doing this for years omg. I seriously thought I was the only one wow. Cool video.

[@ShawnaHill83]

I've recently development cystic acne and im in my late 20's, I've used tea tree oil which worked but last night I used our baby Vicks and I'm still baffled they they are gone!!! like gone nothing has worked so well in my life!!!! thank you soooo much for doing this video, I'm simply AMAZED!!!!!!

[@libbyjones2456]

Im gonna guess ur from Liverpool since u used the words our baby and baffled

[@ShawnaHill83]

+Libby Jones lol! actually no I'm from Canada haha

[@elexis3728]

Do you think it would work for regular acne problems?

[@ShawnaHill83]

Elisha Winstead it might, I would try tea tree oil as well it kills bacteria and Vicks just brings down inflammation.

[@ShawnaHill83]

Elisha Winstead also you could ask your doctor for cortisone cream it works wonders for regular acne!

[@teresalaurence]

Thank you for all this information. I already loved Vick's!

[@piedadrodriguez1601]

Some of the recommendations I have been using Vicks for years and it does work!!!

[@colwilpro]

I'm using this for my varicose veins. It seems to act as an adstringent (tightens the skin). Probably not a good long term solution but might help in a cosmetic sense. Ultimately I think VV's are caused by a combination of hormone imbalance, lack of exercise and poor diet/eating too often. To counter this I've stopped drinking from plastic bottles, walking more, fasting and cutting right down on sugar/only eating less sweet fruits.

[@happyness2096]

You have send back my happiness DR Rorpopor herbal on KZbin buy curing my herpes totally with your herbal medication very infective and active 🌿🌿

[@lindagreenwood9102]

Used Vicks on fungus nearly all gone also used it on my nose for black heads and pimples works wonderful

[@MSandARTwork]

Thank you for sharing what you know about VICKS! So much I did not know! But so much I will be putting into use now!

[@thomaspigg306]

I did not know about the bug repellant part. I have O- blood, and it seems like whenever I go out, no matter who else is around, the bugs come after me. I'm going to try this. Thanks for the advise of the different uses of Vicks.

[@kimhaywood1112]

Hey young lady, that information/video was the BOMB! Very informative~ I've got to share this~ Thanks for sharing~ Toodles

[@SAINTCHEZZ]

OMG, OMG, OMG!!! Granny used to do that to me,!!!! she used to rub that thing on my chest and on my feet when i was sick. Next morning, I was fucking strong and healthy as a stag!!!!!

[@LazarusStr]

Thank you very much for all you well informative advice. I have cystic boils, and they're taking a while to go away. Thank you for not only giving to remedy idea, but also breaking down why it works 😊🤘💖💕👌

[@luzsypewsy1]

That was interesting and very educational I would never knew that Vicks Vaporub would be this helpful more than just cold relief..

[@reneeromero5488]

I am definitely going to try this hope it works I've been trying every remedy for this mild athletes foot and one toe with nail fungus so I'm going to take Vicks wherever I go and give it a go, and possibly use it for the other uses you mentioned.

[@toservemankind6871]

it's also good if you're at a morgue doing an autopsy on a month old body, you smear some underneath your nose so you don't smell the rot

[@gritshugsandsweettea4688]

I love how this very simple video has over 7 million views. It proves something very important will be watched if a person knows what they are doing. :) I love this stuff.

[@MontyKat23]

Vicks is amazing for sunburns!! I have never used aloe Vera since I found out Vicks was so good for sun burns. It soothes the burn so much more and it helps heal in half the time.

[@SallyBoo2350]

I know we aren't supposed to do this but I have pur it in my nose and tongue since I was 4 years old. It always helped me to feel better after coughing a lot.

[@juliemoore429]

+Sally Collins I put under my nose and partly inside when I sleep helps my nose passages stay open so I can breathe better when I sleep

[@frannyb1079]

+julie moore same but I don't eat it

[@frannyb1079]

there is an episode of my strange addiction, a girl was fixated on vapor rub...

[@bobthebuilder956]

+Maryfrances B LOL I remember that. She inhaled and ate that shit no problem 😂👌

[@norasam2010]

+Sally Collins is it works?

[@KerryGrl]

I rubbed some Vicks on my husband and he turned into a Johnny Depp look-alike!

[@louisea9607]

[@cloudchaser8297]

***** lol

[@alanzaldivarguido6680]

Nope, he left for a non-gluten Dragon

[@shellychaayan]

S flop the first compliance, I will have qp

[@Alycanj]

Another use is as a mosquito, nat, horse flies..etc repellent. I have been working construction for over 30 years in some bug infested places (especially at the foundation level) and this absolutely works. Just rub a line of it across the back of your neck or down the sides of your neck. I usually rub some on the back of my triceps and if shirtless then across my back. I learned this from a old bricklayer who's dad showed him way back when there wasn't much to use.

[@jordanplayhard3572]

Thanks for caring enuf to do and upload this video....very informative. Appreciate it!

[@erikavera4112]

Im just gonna put this all over my body 😂

[@MyDennis333]

I put it all over my face at night - and my husband climbs out of the window...I also use it on toast...

[@analarson2920]

Great to know. Also if you are having skin problems of any kind especially as you get older, do the 3 things-drink- enough water daily, manage stress- with rest exercise and prayer, nutrition-more naturally foods especially veggies and probiotics. Keep sharing, Godspeed!

[@CashingBeezyOnDCash]

Ana Larson bless🔄

[@ItsNotRealLife]

I havenoi idea why but as soon as I started reading your post I had a feeling God was going to be mentioned no offence meant but if prayer really helped there would be no reason for the other measures you mentioned

[@analarson2920]

No offense taken, Duke University has a lot of research on how prayer works for good health, check into it. Our body, mind and spirit is all connected, you can not do one thing without it affecting the others. Part of the problem with today's modern medicine is they try to compartmentalize human problems, but that does not work. Sometimes God just heals us, and then He needs us to take the hard road to get more out of the journey. Having hope and helping each other is also caring and prayerful. In this world we have the opportunity to use all three things and not to, I have seen better results with using it all for myself and others. If we believe in God and try to care for ourselves and others then we understand our existence and our purpose. We do have to help ourselves and God usually has the best answers since He sees it all and knows it all. So why do you think you were having that feeling about God?

[@Mstas68]

Thank you for posting. The information given was informative and interesting.

[@nathanschmidt6327]

thanks for sharing your information I have used the vicks on my feet when I had a cold put the socks on and it works for a cold and detoxification too grany was right

[@attiyasaqib4999]

shutup

[@Gabriela-vp9id]

+attiya saqib it actually works I do it all the time

[@keithwebb9005]

I use that whenever I get sick it works.

[@vickyhv89]

Yes, I do this with my kids when they have a cold/cough. I rub it in their feet and put socks on, I also rub some in their chest.

[@jamesbronson8713]

This is really interesting. I just finished watching "If I only knew", a movie you did a while back, and then this popped up in my recommended videos. Wonderful movie !!

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I have used Vicks for headaches (Migräne) and colds for years and its nice to see these other uses. I make my own herbal remedies and know how effective plants antiviral, antibiotic antiseptic and antifungal properties can be (sorry anti inflammatory too). Two points. .a) I thought you were 20 at the oldest. .your doing something right with your skin! and b) my kitten (1 year old) has a 'thing' for Vicks..she tries to eat it off you. .and not gently...she's not above waiting till you're asleep and trying to eat the Vicks off you then....she acts like other cats do to catnip with Vicks. I would put a caveat on the cat repellent bit as obviously some love it (Halls Mentholyptus does the same she tries to get them out of your mouth lol! Thanks for the upload x

[@ceciliafelix6134]

It really does work for acne I've tried it and the next day it's almost entirely gone so cool!

[@jadechristina3510]

Thanks for the tips. I had a little cystic acne (1 on each side of my jawline), and rubbed Vaporub on them and after 2 days they were gone :)

[@pooter5961]

I get a lot of earaches. When this happens I put a little Vicks on my finger and rub it on the inside of my ear. I don't go too deep of course. The heat from it warms the ear canal and makes the earache go away.

[@nuttybar9]

+Pooter If you warm up some urine and then put it in your ear it also works as well.

[@carter_1]

Thank you so much...going to try it right now (on face) and maybe a couple other spots. If this works I owe you big time...Gosh I hope this works. I didn't even get acne as a teen, and now I am getting a couple stubborn and hard spots on my cheek-I won't even allow my family to take pics of me. It has been over a year, and can't seem to get it to heal. You just gave me major hope!

[@marywest2896]

am glad you are seeing your doctor, some women in their late 20's develop these breakouts, mostly due to cysts on the ovaries. good luck and thanks for the info have a friend who might benefit from this advice.

[@amypomeroy3348]

I stumbled across your video by accident. And I have to send you a great big thank you! I have had this painful bump under my skin, next to my mouth, for over a month. It has been freaking me out because I cant get rid of it (I am still planning on asking my doctor, just to be sure) BUT.... I just wanted to thank you because I did not know there was such a thing. You saved my anxiety button.:) I would also like to add that they actually make a stick (like a over sized chap stick tube) for headaches. and once you said vics. I know now what the smell reminded me of. A friend let me use it & rubbed on temples, I felt almost immediate relief, I wish I knew the name of it I looked it up and found a tube called HeadOn headache treatment. SO BIG THANK YOU ON SHARING YOUR INFORMATIVE INFO! YAY!!!! On another note, someone had written about Vaseline type products being bad on pores and possible skin cancer. I am a first hand witness to the amazing effects plain ole Vaseline does for a womens skin, I know of four elderly ladies, that do NOT look their age, show no pores and when you ask them what's their secret, they all said "all their lives, they used faithfully Vaseline" and that is all they ever used. Two of them since passed, one of them my grandmother 97 and it didnt run in our family gene because her 11 sisters and brother did not have skin like hers.. at all. Never a day, that you didnt look at their skin and think wow! oh, and no cancer either.

[@janhurst2694]

I have a tube and its called 'Forehead', you put it on forehead for headaches and its very soothing

[@aodetgiorgees6856]

Omg i have a pimple under my skin near my mouth too ! But its healing and it doesnt hurt

[@codaddict25]

THERE WAS AN ADD ABOUT 6-8 years ago where they would say HEAD ON APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD HEAD ON APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD! It would go on repeatedly I think that's what it was u she had given u

[@Shaggy2286]

Hmm, that makes me wonder if it works on cold sores too? ( Your pimple wasn't a cold sore was it? ) I hate cold sores, usually use some chapstick made to fight them, but if Vicks cured it too that'd be better... now that I think of it, the medical chapstick reminds me of Vicks hmmm.

[@amypomeroy3348]

Shaggy2286, I'm not too sure about cold sores. But I can say, it worked on my under skin pimple knot thingy, it's gone. Took me about a week of applications. But its gone gone gone. Yay!!!

[@FranciscoGarcia-yt2jm]

I know it seems silly to mention the intended use in this area, but really helped with my cough.

[@LynSmithmusic]

Ha ha this made me laugh a lot! Glad to know it works the way it was intended as well as all the added benefits. I'm gonna be checking out every crying scene on TV to see if I can spot shiny patches of Vick's vapour rub under the actors' eyes! In fact, crying scenes are hereby known as "she's doing a Vick's" from now on in my house. We used to refer to them previously as "she's doing a cow's arse" (best said with an Irish accent)

[@donnabaham5988]

Lyn Smith SOME PEOPLES JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND !!

[@rosalinnickie9571]

Thank you for those wonderful information can't wait to try some of them.

[@jhrtjones2]

AWESOME, thank you so much. I swear by Vick's, and now I have many new reasons.

[@MadchenLear]

Stretch marks and acne? Time to go to the store! Thanks!!!

[@beatitkidnow]

I am not telling anyone to do this but I thought it was pretty cool. When I was little I was given a spoonful of Vapor rub and a fever reducer for a fever I had. I was so sick that day! The fever rub reducer ended up putting me to sleep however, when I woke up an hour later I was 100% better.

[@soinlovewithyou14]

vapor rub is poison though right?

[@beatitkidnow]

I survived it!!! It helped to sweat my fever out! My fever broke right away

[@janetmasleid4603]

Alexis calcagno I believe accidental inhalation of a petroleum based product (like Vicks vaporub) can be lethal to anyone because the lungs and the airway cannot bring it back up. It cannot be expectorated (ever) and I believe a chemical pneumonitis or pneumonia type illness will ensue. Also, one does not know if there are toxic chemical impurities in the essential oils used in the product as it is sold as an OTC ointment, not to be consumed. :-)

[@Sssakkaa]

It can also be used like icy hot for minor aches and pains. Its great for when you walk to much and you get that sore muscle in your leg

[@dodobusstophere3903]

Thankyou great advice, will definitely try

[@melissabeltre5581]

Maybe vicks also helps with the fountain of youth because this girl looks soo young for her age, its incredible

My mum used to heat vapo rub on a tea spoon until it melted then shoved the spoon down my throat. "back to bed now you'll live"

[@miriamt7094]

oh no! it's for external use only.

I just want to tell anyone who may watch this... if you treat cystic acne with Vicks and it suddenly gets better or gets extremely worse and then better, your problem isn't simply cystic acne. By extremely worse I mean large painful thin skinned eruptions filled with pus *grossest thing I have ever typed and left my name on*, you need to research demodex. Demodex is a pesky mite usually found in the skin and eyelashes, however when it over populates and feeds on sebum it can cause acne or roscacea like symptoms from the toxins it excretes. Please research it, my own research saved my sanity.

[@TheEclypse110]

Uh, ew.

[@intrinsicloathing]

*rolling of eyes*, shit happens. I was just educating people, graphic has an intent and purpose occasionally and I even admitted the actual statement was gross, thanks for being mature about it, your words could hurt someone remember that always. Think before you post perhaps, that'd be real adult of you. Or just don't comment perhaps.

[@TheEclypse110]

I apologize. I suppose, without being able to view my facial expression and body language at the time, my statement could be interpreted as hurtful. My first impression of your post was more like, "Wow, what an unfortunate condition!" but, of course, my reptilian brain had to do the typing. BTW, I think the reaction you were describing may have happened because VapoRub is petroleum based. Vicks makes a non-petroleum cream that may work without the side effects.

[@Tasha1284]

How did you deal with it?

[@intrinsicloathing]

Kate I appreciate your response I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply. In response to your hypothesis about the response being evoked by the fact that its petroleum based, is valid, however I've always used petroleum-based substances on my skin particularly my face. One of the horrible side effects of demodexvis that you have seborrhoeic dermatitis which is severe dandruff on your face or scalp, and the only thing that ever helped that for me was Vaseline or Crisco. Come to find out, that was possibly making it worse (only the Demodex, Crisco is AMAZING on healthy skin as a double duty moisturize), however I never had the reaction until I used the Vicks VapoRub which has camphor in it, there are also other tests that you can do such as the microscope test, & I have performed that as well. If anybody is interested in my actual struggle with this, as embarrassing as it is, please look up Mandi Mite on KZbin and you can watch my two or two to four videos regarding the matter. Thank you everyone for being so understanding.

[@brendawatt8164]

I have severe migraines probably at least 1 or twice a week, I have used this method for years with a hot towel and a dark room, it works wonders. I put on my forehead, temples , between my eyes, under my eyes and up my nose, works great!

[@maggieadams8600]

Thanks! I'll give these a try as I've paid loads of money for over the counter remedies for various ailments over time that were utterly useless, and a waste of time and money!

[@DEKIKK]

im not putting vicks on my walls to stop my cats from scratching...they lick their paws. I don't think that would be very healthy for them.

[@love704]

That's the point, they won't scratch the walls, they don't like the smell so they won't touch it.

[@DEKIKK]

Love still not doing it...

[@susannovac6878]

I agree with you Dekikk, I would ring my vet first and ask if it's safe because they WILL lick it off.

11 minutes? Ain't nobody got time for that!

[@Drawcandy]

A lot of people have time for that. 11 minutes really isn't long, it's not like you have to defuse a hundred bombs a day.

[@naturalforme]

SHEEET IM SAYING TF I LOOK LIKE

[@swilli1223]

Agreed!

[@victoriaramos1995]

Drawcandy yeah but for lots of ppl with lives... 11 minutes makes all the difference. Can't be sitting in front of the computer screen all day, you want something that gives you what you need in least amount of time. Don't you have shit to do? Like go to work, school, clean your house, spend time with friends, workout, make food. So many things you could be doing. 11 minutes is A LOT!

[@MisterF_1984]

When my sister would babysit me at the age of 5 she would put a dub on the bridge of my nose so i could'nt keep my eyes open for bed time so i would fall asleep :-)

[@kennethcolbert3845]

Lot's of good ideas I knew a few of them but learn a few here too thank's.

[@drdiabolicals9686]

Amazing uses i would have never thought of these myself.

[@shesingsFORall]

In my profession, I deal with the death and dying process of the elderly. As we get older, geriatrics takes hold and there are certain odors that come along with that. Their are "bathroom" odors, of course. But when I have been witness to the act of dying, or been there after the patient has passed it a whole new ball game. On occasion, we haven't gotten called in after a few days, so . . . as you can guess the odor can overtake you. I learned from an old mortician friend who used to work as a county coroner, keep Vicks Vap-o-Rub in your med kit. Smear a nice size bead of it under your nose to mask any human decay odors. Gross, I know, but it works.

[@squishypitbull]

ive been working EMS for a decade....IT DOES WORK!

[@faithbringshope]

when i first started working in a nursing home years ago the lady that trained me said to keep some mint gum on hand. it must have something to do with the mint/menthol that helps. her advice was very good and did work too. I imagine vics smell would last longer but its a little easier to keep a stick of gum on hand and brings less attention to what your doing too. mind u...i wasn't dealing with human decay odor....but when u have an entire floor of adult diapers to deal with it can get very bad too.

[@mrkkg27]

NJo 93950 Thanks NJo! I've spent many a sleepless night worrying about those pesky human decay odors. Explaining that its just a dead cat under the house to all those annoying relatives of roommates that have gone missing only works for so long.

Actually at 9:38 she mentions ECZEMA AND ROSACEA.

[@carmell51]

Love this advice. Thanks for your well presented video!

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

Interesting uses. Nice to see something that has more than a single use.

[@remastered4496]

My cat dosent go away when I use it, he tries and licks it appearently he loves the smell

[@jill_fisher]

It is still possible that he hates it! But when it's on his favourite human he has to "save" her and will lick it off, as pets often will with make-up: "Yuk, your face is dirty, here, I'll clean it off for you!"

[@jarellebrown887]

hurry up and tell us the uses for Vicks

[@marinamori124]

Wow!! who knew... I love Viks but I only used for my daughter's cough, and she hated it.... What I great video... Thank you!!

[@hellohey000]

I have cystic acne and I used the baby vicks because it is lighter in smell but it cleared up my acne in 3 days but I put it on in the morning and at night. so thanks for the info the last time I had a breakout it lasted for a whole painful month. great tip

[@colleenwilliams2494]

Maybe that will work for migraines. I can not imagine using reg Vicks with the smell for migraines

[@hellohey000]
