Cold Sores. If you are suffering from cold sores, then you know how painful they can be. If you don’t already use Vicks Vaporub as an oral treatment, then you should definitely try the product on your lips. Just dab a little amount on the outside of your lips and let it dry before eating or doing anything else. The vapour is extremely effective at combating the blistering associated with cold sores and helps them heal more quickly.

Headaches. Are headaches killing you? If your headache is getting worse, then you need to treat it with the soothing balms of Vicks Vaporub. You can get the salve in different sprays that are specifically formulated to soothe migraines and headaches. If you are looking for an alternative to painkillers and antidepressants, then this is a great choice.

Stretch Marks. It seems like everybody has stretch marks, especially after pregnancy, but did you know that using Vicks Vaporub can actually help reduce them? The spray contains curcumin, which is an anti-inflammatory oil that eases redness and swelling. In addition, the oil also soothes the skin, making it easier to heal and reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
