Has anyone ever heard of using Vick's vapor rub on your feet to help a cold? Does it work and if so how?

    No but it does on your back on your shoulder blades! U see when the shoulder blades get cold it usually gets one and rubbing it on it makes it truly helpful to make it warmer....

    I've gotton colds every 6 months and my dad always rubs it there and my cold usually goes away after at least 4-6 days

    it just feels good, makes your feet feel warm. I am sure someone has something more interesting about how it would help but I think its just soothing.

    nothing wrong with a nice warm foot massage and some warm socks when you don't feel good.

    Yeah, I've heard of it.

    No, it doesn't work. It's an urban legend.

    Vick's doesn't recommend it.

    if you spend allot of time sniffing your feet then yes by all means it will work.
