My mother had me swallow a dollop when I had a cold/sore throat....that was long before grape seed ex and pine bark extract aka Pycnogenol. Yes, I had colds/sore throats many yrs ago.
I have an Essential Oil that is Pine Needle and I rub it in my arthritic knee.

I don't understand this last sentence. These 2 have very different ingredients. Vaseline does not help with pain relief as in being an analgesic. I don't use Vaseline but when I did years back I used it to clean eyeliner off eyes.
I still use it for upper respiratory and cough. If nothing else, it is very soothing.

Just got an advertisement on Vicks and thought I'd remind folks again. I still use it just about every night on my feet, wear socks, and often rub on my knee. Good stuff and I won't be without it. Some with migraines rub it in their temples and do get relief.
I've used a little Vick's on my feet, works great. I wouldn't use it for migraines though, it triggered them twice with me.
