10+ surprising effects of VapoRub on your health

2. Muscle aches
Massage VapoRub over the muscles that are causing pain, then wrap them in a dry, warm towel for a while.
3. Soothe earaches
An earache can be a symptom of an ear infection, but it can also be an effect of a common cold. Even while following doctor-recommended care to fight the cause, the pain can make daily activities difficult, particularly going to sleep. A cotton ball with VapoRub can be a simple home remedy to ease the pain. Simply rub a little on a cotton ball and place it in the ear all night or until the pain has subsided.

4. Toenail fungus
Infected toenails should be rubbed with VapoRub two to three times a day for as long as is needed. The process may take several weeks to months.
5. Cracked heels
Apply VapoRub to the heels and balls of your feet, then massage it into the damaged areas. Do this in the evening, then sleep with socks on. The next morning, rinse the product off with warm water and exfoliate with a pumice stone.
6. Repel bugs
Apply light amounts of VapoRub to clothing and skin to scare bugs away. If you get bitten anyway, try rubbing some ointment on that spot for itch relief.
7. Keep animals at bay
Cats will stay away from furniture dabbed with VapoRub, helping you keep your couch, doors and curtains scratch-free.
