Vicks Vaporub To The Rescue

A listener sent this to me. It comes from a grandparent who swears by this remedy for a child or adult's bad cough: Put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Apparently even persistent coughs will stop for hours, and it is quite soothing for a sound sleep. Has anyone tried this? I doubt I could smear anything on the bottom of my kids' feet without them giggling and squirming and making a mess, but I might try it on myself!

Any other family remedies this brings to mind? Email me and share them!
