When we were kids, my Mom always kept a bottle or two of Vicks Vapor Rub in our medicine cabinet. As soon as any of the kids got any hint of cold symptoms, she’d rub it all over our throat, chest, and back. It was warm and comforting, and did succeed in making us feel better. Many kids I know experienced the same thing.

If you don’t know what Vicks Vapor Rub is, here’s a quick introduction. Vicks Vapor Rub is a salve that contains ingredients such as camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus oil. The texture is similar to petroleum jelly. It is manufactured by Proctor and Gamble, and has been around for over 125 years.
