The Next Chest Thing: 7 Vapor Rub-based Home Remedies

My grandmother was known for her home remedies and for using Vapor Rub on everyone! Any health related issue we had my grandmother would come to the rescue with a concoction or remedy that included vapor rub. Recently, as I was being attacked by mosquitoes during my vacation, my dad came into my room and claimed to have something that would help. I looked over at him to see a familiar blue container- it was vapor rub. This brough back so many memories but I just laughed and said no thank you. As a mom and wife I now find myself using vapor rub much more than I'd like. I still cringe at the smell but I know that it works really well for some things. I like to think my grandmother is putting her good witch habits to work by having me use vapor rub time after time on my kids they way she did on me. Click through the slideshow below for 7 great vapor rub home remedies. (Please note that these are remedies that have worked for me and my family. Always consult a doctor for medical issues.) - By Ruby Wright
