Vicks on soles of feet

The smell certainly doesn't last very long; I just bought a new jar because I thought the one which was opened had lost its potency, but it is no better.

I wouldn't use it on 'piles'!
I heard that Vaseline is good for stopping blisters on the feet getting worse.

I know people in Australia who use Vick(s) to ward off mosquitoes- a miracle cure indeed
Really Marmight?
I'd better take a jar with me, the mozzies love me.

Vicks on your feet is fantastic for plantar fasciitis. I had it for a couple of years on and off and then read about Vicks.
amt101 I just bought some gel which is supposed to be good for painful joints etc; it contains ibuprofen but also menthol which, of course, is in Vick.

Yes 'really'. Whether it works or not is debatable but everything's worth a try!

I'm glad I'm not the only one to have noticed a change. It must be that additional 's'. I liberally smeared it all over my nose and throat last night but had to re-apply it in the early hours when the effect wore off. It's not as mentholy and I think the smell is slightly different.

Jalima. The best anti-mozzie is Marmite! Not Australian Marmite which is different, or Veggemite, but our Marmite - I don't know if perhaps you can take it in if it's in a sealed jar? I love it and ate it daily at least a week before we went Downunder as I'd read it worked. And it did! I hardly had a bite whilst DH who hates the stuff suffered. I had Our Mate on toast for breakfast while there, which I think is the same as Marmite.

I have a cold now. Shall I blame the Vicks? I don't know anyone with one and feel it must be Murphy's Law. I was awake at 2:30 am too. Oh well.

I agree that the Vicks scent of menthol is less than the old stuff, but it still works well.
Ana oooh! Your poor ex! Ouch.....that's gotta hurt.
