Rub Vicks VapoRub On Your FEET...You'll Be Pleasantly Surprised! Dr. Mandell 

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!

*If you know Dr Mandell is doing an amazing job let's show him some love ❤️❤️❤️*

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.

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.

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.

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!

Every latina mom will use vicks on any kind of ailment, wisdom passed down thru generations.

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. 👍

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 tried this on the soles of my feet, not only did I get the best sleep, but the pain in my knee resolved. Thanks Doctor.

My grandmother taught me the Vicks on the feet while you sleep. Almost 60 now and it has never failed me. ❤

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!

Chest and neck every night right now. My mother used when I was a little kid, I’m 69 now and still use this.

Vicks is my signature scent! Love it.

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

Vick will stop a mosquito bite. Used it all summer. Worked like a champ. And I think it prevented more bites. Thank me next summer. ❤😊

For us Hispanics, this stuff is gold! It even cured a cancer spot on my dog’s skin!

I'm old school - vicks, tea/honey/lemon, soup, and lots of sleep for a cold. No interventions needed.

My grandmother was born in 1900. This was her go to medication. My mom loved it too.

Works great when an earache is beginning .... Place a saturated cotton ball or piece of tissue in ear with vapor rub, relieves the pain💁

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!

I've used it on my feet whenever I have a cough, it helps a lot. Just to let you all know it helps with headaches too! And muscle soreness 😊

Thanks, Doc. This is timely. Hubby and I are both down with a virus and coughing is keeping us awake. I had forgotten about this tip.

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

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.

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!

Geeeez, I wish I had him for my primary doctor~ I'd feel in SUCH GOOD HANDS. HE'S WONDERFUL & UNIQUE! I've learned so MUCH from this Godsend!

GOD BLESS the messenger, the message and those who have heard it! 🙏🏾

It even helps the neuropathy in the feet feel better!!❤❤❤

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!

FYI, just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate you. God bless you for your giving heart...we send you warm wishes for a phenomenal 2024!!

*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".*

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.

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.

You're such a profind blessing for us, DOCTOR MONDEL. May God bless u and your family.

Slather it on your toenails to eliminate nail fungus. It takes time but works safely!

THIS WORKS!!! I HAVE DONE THIS FOR YEARS. IT NOT ONLY HELPS WITH THIS SUBJECT BUT IT HELPS FUNGUS ON THE TOENAILS. THANKS DOC. YOUR THE BEST.

I mentioned Vicks to my primary care doc. He'd never heard of it. I'm 82 and used it all my life.

My grandfather used it for everything. I still follow his advice and Dr. Mandel. Thanks for sharing this with everyone 🙏🌹

Thanks Doc, I’m gonna use this on my husband’s feet so he can sleep better. ❤

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!

Use this on my back, chest, throat, under my nose & bottom of feet when sick. On any muscle for pain relief. Best product!

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 !

My mom used to use Vaporub on all us kids when I was growing up - it works!

Thank You Dr. Mandell for all the health advice and information you pass to us❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

In Colombia moms and grandmas still use it for those symptoms that won't let you have a good night sleep. It's nice to have this reminder, thank you!

Since we’re young my mother used vicks vapor rub whenever we have cough and cold. I used it too to my daughter as well as to my grandkids

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.

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. ❤

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. 🙂🙏❤️

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!

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 ❤

I like the firm, positive..."I'm Dr. Allan Mandell"! I love you, Doc. Kudos to your mom for raising a fine man.

FYI: I'm 66 and when I was a child my parents always used a Q-tip with Vick's on it to swab the inside of their nose and my siblings and I when our nose was stopped up. Worked like a charm every time to unclog them. I have chronic sinusitis and severe allergies and keep a jar of Vick's and a zip bag full of Q-tips beside my bed at all times. Makes life more livable when you can breathe through your nose.

You are such a good Doctor!!! You are a Blessing to us all!! Just quick no gimmick straight to the point!!! You are a good man!!🙏🏼🫶🏼🙏🏼🥹

I use it on my elbows also and for various skin issues, works well. Thanks Doc.

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

Thank you Doctor. Vicksburg on feet really works. I was coughing, then I put on my feet....wow. I stop coughing. Hallelujah.

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 .

Love all your videos! Always such good advice. Thank you, be well, and have a blessed New Year!

Thank you, Dr. Mandell. You’re amazing 🤩

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 ❤❤❤❤❤

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 ❤

Did not know some of this info. Thanks so much for all you do to help us stay well.

this Doc has been so helpful... beyond appreciated!

The best doctor in the world!

I'm 67 and have used it all my life, not on my feet, though, lol.What wonderful information. Thank you for sharing and helping.

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.

Love Dr. M. So many awesome, helpful, trustworthy videos. Thank you so much.

Excellent as always! Have a Happy and Healthy New Year! You are loved and so appreciated.

Thank you Dr. Mandell and Happy new year and many more.❤❤

I use this and it works. I've shared this with my family and they think I'm crazy, but I know the truth about it working. Thanks for sharing.

Best presentation of the so called Vicks Vaporub.Even after so many years this is unbeatable and loved handy tiny tin is also there.Thanks🌹🙏❤

Thank You, Dr. Mandell. Will start putting this on my feet. You the the best at motivating me.

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❤

Many thanks! And a blessed New Year❤

It does serve very well Dr. You are great. Give God the Glory. 🙏🏽

I love this guy and he just makes sense. Thank you once again, much appreciated. I love these videos 😊

Once again Dr.Mandell you are just awesome !!

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.

As always brilliant medical advice,thank you .❤🎉😊

Dr. Mandell you are brilliant! I recommend you to people who need your tips for their health issues. So good! Thank you !

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!

Dr mandell good morning thank you for sharing this information is excellent God bless you and your family have a nice day ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

you are so good to watch you do videos fast and you do things to show how they work everthing does work always simple and doc you have such nice skin thanks for all the information have a good new year

Thanks for another fantastic solution!

Thank you so much for such a simple yet miraculous solution to the bothering coughing fits through the night. It really worked !!

Thank You Dr Mandell 🙏🙏❤️❤️😁😁👍👍👍

I’ve heard of some amazing testimonies. Fascinating. Thank you Doc

Thank you so much for sharing this Dr. Mandell .❤❤❤

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.

Tiger Balm is far better and has higher quantities of ingredients...it can be bought in most Asian Spice/food shops

Thanks for explaining why rubbing Vicks on the feet works!

I’ve done this the last 2 nights with my cold, slept well, I feel better. Reading all these other suggestions in the comments, I’ll try Vicks other problems too, thanks!

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

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.

Thank you so much for all these videos. They truly help me alot. 😊.

Exellent advice as ususal. Thank you Doctor Mandell
