Cough Medicine It works 100% of the time although the scientists at
the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.
To stop night time 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.I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe
these findings on the part of their scientists when they were
investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough
medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like
accupressure. Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this
guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm
than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I
listened.
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 ncontrollable cough, and she
slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.
So, if you have kids, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it
yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect.
