It works - I tried it in the run up to Christmas not only did I get a good nights sleep but so did OH! And thats what counts - he had resorted to earplugs and was threatening to move into the spare room.

It's a horrible nasty dry tickly hacking cough, and its all I've got left of this flu now, though it is clearing up. OH still has the cough, and coughs so hard he runs out of breath!

I've just told him to get some Vick to put on his feet, and he just rolled his eyes at me LOL

I've used the Vicks on feet trick Hayley
it won't cure a cough but you should get at least some relief for awhile and a good nights sleep hopefully

Put it this way. I thought it was a joke too at first.

But my poor hubs has been left with a hacking cough ever since last weeks flu. So bad that he was having breathing problems similar to asthma.

For the sake of the price of a pot of Vicks we tried it out on Sunday night.

NOT ONE COUGH SINCE !!!

I promise.

Mind you - he don't arf stink in bed at night. hee hee

Believe me it works. I've been using it for years. My mum used to rub it on our chests and feet.

The vapours travel up through your body and stop you coughing. Don't know why.

I've used it on some of my elderly clients and it works on them.

My 3yr old granddaughter had a terrible cough and I rubbed it on the soles of her feet and put socks on her and she never coughed once during the night.

Might not work for everyone but for the majority it does.

It did help when I had a cough, not sure why but maybe it is because of the ehat it generates or something.

Reflexology lol

Thats massaging the feet for all sorts of ailments.

Yes apparently it does work. Rub it all over your feet, and put a pair of sock on and go to bed.

I didn't use it because I didn't have any vicks lol
