Coughing (Very Severe)
Just a good thing to know:
Vicks for coughs I wish I'd known this when my family was young during Winter
colds and coughs. I am going to try it myself. Share with young parents. Isn't
life strange? When we had a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot
soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20
minutes you can 'taste' it. Some of us have used Vicks Vapor Rub for years for
everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But
I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, 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 Vapor Rub 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 acupressure. 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 surprise 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. My wife 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 uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for
hours every night that she used it. If you have grandchildren, pass it on. If
you end up sick?, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the
effect.
I've had an extremely bad cold & at times a horrendous cough for a few the past two days. This afternoon a cough hit me so hard that I couldn't even speak more than a few words without a hard cough. The first thing I did was to put a pinch of salt on my tongue and chase it down with a glass of water, but nothing happened. I called my wife Connie & told her what happened. She that I must let the salt dissolve on my tongue, so I said to myself I don't see what good that will do because I use lots of salt & I just took more, but I did what she said and my coughing stopped in about two seconds. It is now about three hours later & I coughed only once since. Keep in mind that I had been coughing for about a half hour & it kept getting worse. Considering all the salt that I use, the last thing I thought that I needed was more salt. Thank you Connie for waking me up. Anyone with a severe cough or asthma will be amazed at how quick the results come. I've seen it work for a bad asthma attack in less than five minutes, but this almost instant relief amazed me. I need to add that the salt did not affect my mild cough, but it is great for breaking mucous up.
Please send me an email to let me know how it helped or didn't help you.
