My mom is 99. When she is coming down with a cold, she immediately put Vicks on the bottoms of her feet, puts on socks and puts her feet on a heating pad on high for a few hours. She stops colds this way. It must be done at the first sign of a cold. Old fashioned medicine- you can’t beat it!
An oldie but a goodie. I've known about this my whole life, as done by both parents and grandparents. A little bit of Vicks rubbed on the bottoms of the feet, then put on some socks, done at bedtime and it worked wonders for a chronic cough. My Mom would also rub a bit of Vicks above our upper lip, just under the nose for stuffed up noses. That also worked.
On RU-vid I came across HERBALIST DOCTOR KINGSLEY who made an herbal remedy and sent it over to me here in the United States which I used for only seven (7) days and my long-term genital herpes was totally cured.
Im 59 yrs, and my mom would rub Vicks on our necks, wrap an old sock around our neck secured with a safety pin when we had colds. I love the smell of Vicks! Reminds me of being cared for.
I've been using this on our arthritis for a long time. My adult kids dont believe me. This works people,please give it a try. I put it on my husbands feet all the time,it helps instantly. I keep it in stock in my house. I swear by it. Thanks dr.Mandell
I tried this last night and I slept like a baby. My nighttime COVID cough was gone and I woke up feeling so much better. Thank you for the recommendation. This really works!
vicks vaporub on your feet is an amazing tip...i wish i knew this sooner...i'm cripple...and have been for past 11yrs...i saw this video and tried it on my ankles and feet...in one day most of the swelling in my ankles and feet almost gone now along with the pain
That word cripple is an ABSOLUTE NOT. I'm 63 had kids husbands jobs ECT. Born with Crebral Palsy and Sir I am no cripple!!! You ought not speak about yourself in such a negative way.P.S. forgot to say in a ♿ 10 years now peace to you
Dr Mandell is one of the best Docters he care s and has compassion for all people I truly believe this great lovely Dr is a gift from God he is truly blessed
Growing up, Vicks is all we had in the medicine cabinet. Now that I am 70 years old, I have continued that rule. I use it for so many ailments. Amazing what a little blue jar can do. Thank you for sharing this information.
I can vouch for this. I am asthmatic and when I get a cold I’m floored. I’ve been rubbing Vicks on my feet for years and it really works. It’s also quite a pleasant feeling on your feet. 👍
Bought this pain relief oil out of Walgreens comes in lotion form also for neuropathy , called Frankincense foot pain relief. It cost $20 but has helped me a lot.
@deathbystereo7641 You put it on your head temples. Just rub a little, and when you do, you could feel a nice tingling sensation 🙂 hopefully it'll work for you, it does for me. Have a great day! 👍🏻
I've had a cracked vertebrae & slipped disc & it's taken months to get better (I decided against an op) & I've been using Vicks on my lower back to ease the nerve pain. It's helped so much ease the pain!
I have disc bulge problem from 2013 and it has increased from neck to lower back back too I have used camphor ayurvedic oil and it is good for swelling and effective,apply neem juice over there it may help u try it, anyway I am going to try this too
I have the same problem and it's just getting a bit better ..I never thought of using Vicks Thanks Shelly I shall do that instead of using a gel my husband had that I only use occasionally 🥰
Oregano & Neem oils mixed together in a little bit of castor oil takes care of any foot fungus or weird foot growth issue really fast. It smells bad but 5-6 days is usually enough to get rid of anything
What my family did when someone had a bad cough at night was place a warm hot water bottle on their feet. It worked like a charm and the cough stopped and they would fall asleep. I never could figure out why that worked but your medulla oblongata explanation makes sense now! Thanks so much for your channel!
@@divinewon73 - all the medical knowledge etc.etc was given to Dr Mandell by JEHOVAH GOD. Sooo we always always thank GOD first & foremost!!😍 Praise GOD for HIS goodness & for HIS many gifts to man. HalleluYah!🙏🏽 P.S... "man" means "mankind" just in case you think I'm leaving out "women"/ "children".😊
This works fantastic on a bad cough that keeps you awake at night. We put it on thick with socks and have found that exactly every four hours. It needs to be reapplied! This is a necessary component of my medicine cabinet. Thank you.
You're such a nice man. Every time I watch one of your videos I'm reminded that there's still some really kind thoughtful people left in the world. It's comforting to know. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom advice and caring heart with us. ❤
BEST TIP EVER ! Idk what prompt me into doing this and it helps a lot when I’m congested and not feeling well ! Purring it on the bottom of my feet is amazing !
I had foot surgery in September. I started rubbing Vicks on my feet and then, my shoulders and my lower back. My body feels so much better!!! ❤️ This stuff helps so much!
Perfect timing Dr Mandell One of our grandkids blessed me with their cold and I’ve not had a good nights sleep because of coughing. Trying this tonight
Just found this video and the timing couldn't be better. I rarely get sick (flu, cold,etc.) but when I do it kicks me in the teeth. Well, I started the new year just right! I caught a bad cold on New Years Eve! I keep Vicks VapoRub in the house and was once married to a reflexologist, so I'm familiar with the connection the feet have with the rest of the body. I plan to try your tip when I go to bed tonight. I'll post tomorrow how it worked. I work in a long-term health care facility, so if it works , it will be a valuable asset to the staff!
It worked really well. I felt quite a bit better the next morning. I didn't expect relief, but with my past experience with reflexology, I was hopeful. Now that I know it works, I'll be using this hack any time I feel like a cold or whatever is coming on.
On RU-vid I came across HERBALIST DOCTOR KINGSLEY who made an herbal remedy and sent it over to me here in the United States which I used for only seven (7) days and my long-term genital herpes was totally cured.
I use Tiger Balm, formulated with natural camphor, and now wake up breathing so much better, with no allergy cough. Thanks, Dr. Mandell, for curing a problem that baffled my corporate MDs for years.

I'll need to buy that, thank you. My daughter is showing an allergy to Vicks. She broke out in a rash on her neck and chest bc she's sick and coughing, so she listened to me to put Vicks and then go to sleep. Woke up to a rash.
I, like must puertorican kids, had our mothers rub Vics on our chests every time we had a cold. I used it on my kids and they use it on their's Thanks Dr. Mandel, for letting us know of a new use for this wonderful product .
Vicks also works great on body aches (like those you can get if you have the flu, or after a vaccination, or after too much physical exertion, etc), apply it wherever you are hurting (it works even better if you apply it after having a very hot bath), and then go to bed with lots of blankets and you'll feel great the next day!
My grandma taught this to my momma, and momma taught it to me. It works! They would rub Vicks on the chest, neck, feet AND the back. We were never down with a cold for more than a day or 2.
Dr. Mandell I'm 65yrs old. Grew up with vicks. My parents always believe vicks should be always in the house. Im a retired nurse worked in a very busy state hospital in the city. During Covid i advise my patients yo to use vicks, sore muscles, inhalation with luke warm water and little vicks. Iy works wonders Dr. Mandell. I agree with your nice informative video, it's really the Best home Remedy, its not expensive and its works wonders. Thanks for your ongoing education. Take Care. Blessings from Cape Town, South Africa ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, your doctor must be a new doctor. Most of them are “text book”. Meaning they don’t believe in or dont consider alternative, or more natural remedies. They believe in Big Pharma.
As usual Dr Mandell, another simple and practical little trick we can use to alleviate cough symptoms... I love how you explain the rationale and mechanisms of action of how things work in all your videos with easy to understand language that everyone can grasp, rather than in 'medical speak or jargon ' that many wouldn't relate to. 🙂🙏❤️
Works like magic. My mother used this on me as a child. I still use it at 70yrs old. Used it this week. JR Watkins Original Menthol Camphor Cough Ointment/Rub
Last summer a truck rolled over and dumped it's load of Vicks Vaporub on the road. The driver was not injured in the accident, and it cleared traffic congestion for 8 hours.
Me too, but like everything that *used* to work, they changed the formula & it’s now about *half* the strength it used to be. Doesn’t help me anymore..😕
Nostalgic..my mother was rubbing vicks vaporub on chest around nose and asked to inhale in cold and cough.. thank you doctor for reminding my childhood... from india ❤
It’s very helpful. My mother always rubbed Vicks on our feet and we slept in socks and gave us cod liver oil too. Good old chicken noodle soup and rest.
I have been using Vapor rub on the bottom of my feet for my coughing along with putting it on my chest and throat. Vapor Rub helps so much. I will keep VaporRub stocked in my home from now on. I think it works better than my inhaler, which I hate using. I like Natura remedies. ❤ Thank you, Dr. Mandel. Happy New Year
I used yellow onions (didn't have any red) - worked very well! No coughing, less congested...I'm using them again tonight. So far, so good, as I drift off to sleep.
I have used forever as well...a friend told me a few weeks ago that the recipe if you will had changed and didn't seem to work as well...I will share video so she can check...as always you are a blessing from God🌷✝️🥰
My grandmother and mother rub under our neck under our feet and put on a cotton vest or t-shirt and socks on our feet in the morning we back to our normal self. Thanks for sharing Doc Happy new year and new month ❤
I haven’t come into contact with Vicks since I was a kid (in my 50’s now) but I read something recently about someone using it to relax. For a month now I rub it on my chest and lower neck before I go to bed and I swear it has improved my sleep and breathing! Give it a go and nothing to lose and everything to gain!
I've used Vicks for years, but only for my neck and chest areas when sick. And is very effective! I never knew of using it on your feet! Next cold or flu I get I will definitely try this method!
*2024 will be filled with peace* *2024 will be filled with healing* *2024 will be filled with love* *2024 will be filled with blessings* *2024 will be filled with progress* *2024 will be filled with happiness* *2024 will be filled with opportunities* *Tell GOD , "Thank You".*
@@gowest5145 dr. Mandel is an excellent doctor and his advice is indispensable… Not arguing that. However, he is “new age”… not Christian. They say they’re Christian but they aren’t. Deceiving millions of people… Including you😿
I have been using vicks on a patch of excema,it eased the itching and the redness has settled down quite nicely.Also if you rub it between your toes in summer,after washing,it stops your feet from getting smelly.
I tried this last night and it worked so well. I am amazed that I had no cough or mucus all night long and I slept like a baby. Doctors should recommend this in the clinic. ❤ Thank you!
I have arthritis and fibromyalgia! The combo can be quite painful and somewhat dehabilitating. I use Vicks and rub it on my neck back and hands. Not too much. And I get a great deal of relief. It's not a constant and forever relief But it provides a welcome break.
I know what you are talking about. I have both of those and many more health problems. There are a few ways to get some relief for a little while but the pain never goes away. I have back pain from numerous things wrong with it and one time my doctor asked how my neck and shoulders were feeling and I told him that my back hurts so bad that it took my mind off my neck.😂
@@nancysmith6685 Please check out the Carnivore Diet! It HEALS arthritis and many other afflictions! See Dr. Ken Berry & Dr. Anthony Chaffee. God bless.
Hi Dr Mandell. I’m a huge fan of Vicks vaporub. My mother used it on us kids since we were little. I used it on my kids and now my kids use it on theirs. It really works and can be used for different things.
My mom believed in Vicks and used it all the time - for any body ache, headaches, colds, flu, soreness of any kind. It does cleat air passages, helps breathing. Feels like a doctor and a friend!
I love Vick’s Vapor Rub. I suffer from year round allegeries, so I use it every night. It really helps me from suffering and I started taking raw bee pollen and I haven’t had to take any allergy medication ever since. I rub Vick’s on my daughter’s feet when she’s sick, because she hates the smell on her chest and she usually wakes up feeling better. I keep it on hand 24/7-365 days a year. It’s amazing stuff.
I’m surprised that this product still exists. I’m 56 & my wife has chronic inherited allergies. It’s horrible for her. She mentioned that there was an over the counter medicine for allergies that actually worked but around 1998-or 99 the company discontinued it probably because it worked too good. Not Sudafed but i can’t remember the name off hand. But thank goodness for Vicks. 👍🙏
@@ahlaali7934 I have cronic allergy crap and normally use steriodspray all year long. But i stopped a month ago. It didn t work, have had covid and than the flu. For three days i used vicks on my lungs and soles for cough. I had no allergy stuffed nose anymore. Did not understand how. Didn t eat or do different things. Except the vicks! I will use it every night now.
This Doc litterly is worth more than the whole medicine industry group of germany. he increased my lifespan by minimum 5-10 years, and i watch him for 1 year only.
SOO TRUE I USE IT ON NECK CHEST AND FEET HELPS ALSO WITH NEUROPATHY 👍💯🙏CHECK THE OFF BRANDS LOOK ON INGREDIENTS ARE THE SAME AND ARE VERY MUCH LESS IN PRICE HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE❤
I always use this if I ever get a cough and it works great! My elderly father in law also had toe nail fungus and was told to put this on his nails and it has healed them so they are looking normal again.
I already do this and always saw this being done by grandmother when I was a child. And now found that OLBAS OIL is super effective in getting rid of congestion! Amazing actually
I massage mentholatum rub with African shea butter on my feet and ankles. I put on some very thin socks and climb into bed. It's moisturizing and really helps my neuropathy. If I feel the sniffles coming on, I put a little on my chest and under my nose. It really does help with getting a good night's sleep.
