• Unblocks Nasal Passages: The powerful active combination of menthol and camphor acts as a highly effective blocked nose remedy, acting as a mild local anaesthetic and decongestant to restore normal breathing.
• Acts as a Cough Suppressant: When applied correctly to the throat and chest, the medicated vapours are inhaled directly into the respiratory tract, calming irritation and significantly reducing the urge to cough.

• Delivers Up to 8 Hours of Relief: A single generous application before bedtime provides sustained, long-lasting relief from nighttime cold symptoms, allowing for uninterrupted and restorative sleep.
• Alleviates Cold-Induced Headaches: Gently massaging a small amount of the rub onto the temples helps relieve mild tension and headaches caused by sinus pressure and severe nasal congestion.

1. Scoop a generous amount of Vicks VapoRub 50ml onto your fingertips.
2. Gently massage the ointment onto the chest, neck, and back.
3. Leave your nightwear loose around the neck and chest to allow the soothing vapours to easily reach the nose and mouth.
4. Apply up to 3 times daily, particularly before bedtime, for nighttime relief.

Method 2: As a Steam Inhalation (For Adults & Children over 6 Years)
