Can someone please explain why rubbing this on the bottom of my feet at night completely eliminates my cough? I am baffled and there is little to no information to find on the internet searches.

If you ever use essential oils, a lot of people rub those on the bottom of their feet too.

Absorbed faster? Reflexology points?

Not sure, but I also like Vick's. I'll have to try it on my feet next time.

My son who has had asthma all his life and is almoust fifty swears by Vicks rub to help him. Try putting a teaspoonful in a bowl of boiling water, and cover your head with a towel and breath it in..

Ok, that's it...with all the Essential oils out there for sleep, energy, calm...
I'm going to try this.
I know about the old European folk remedy if your kids have worms
place garlic in their shoes.
So something has been known for awhile!
