Unexpected Ways You Can Use Vicks VapoRub

Posted by Valentine Belue on Sunday, June 16, 2024

Bright Side recommends Vicks VapoRub as a great treatment for dry, cracking feet. The product should be applied before bedtime, but you must remember to cover your feet with socks after using it. Otherwise, you're going to have some stinky, messy sheets in the morning. (Socks are cheaper and more expendable, but Bright Side still suggests using an old pair.) When you get up, wash your feet in cold water, and then use a pumice stone to remove the softened dead skin.

Byrdie makes mention of VapoRub's antimicrobial ingredients, which some claim to be effective as a topical treatment for athlete's foot. Expert Home Tips even suggests the product is thought to use a useful treatment of toenail fungus if applied to the affected area and left on overnight. However, VapoRub should never be used in place of a doctor prescribed treatment or medication.

While Healthline says that Vicks VapoRub can be effective at soothing tired, achy feet, it warns that applying the product to feet as a cold remedy won't work at all. What is applied to the feet, stays on the feet.
