Features

• Enhanced Active Formulation: Contains a higher concentration of active aromatic ingredients compared to the standard Vicks VapoRub for severe symptom management.
• 10ml Travel-Ready Jar: Compact, pocket-sized packaging ensures you have access to severe cold relief anywhere, at the office, during flights, or on road trips.
• Multi-Symptom Efficacy: A true 4-in-1 solution designed to target blocked noses, coughs, body aches, and headaches simultaneously.
• Aromatherapy & Steam Ready: Specially formulated base allows it to be used safely in hot water for deep-inhalation steam therapy.
• Fast-Absorbing Ointment Base: Designed to rub in smoothly without leaving excessive, uncomfortable, greasy residue on the skin or transferring easily to clothes.

Non-Ingestible Topical Action: Bypasses the digestive system entirely, providing localised relief without the gastrointestinal side effects common with oral cold medicines.

• Rapid Blocked Nose Remedy: The extra-strong formulation of menthol and eucalyptus releases potent medicated vapours that instantly clear nasal passages, reducing inflammation and restoring normal breathing within minutes.
• Deep Chest Congestion Relief: When applied to the chest, the ointment generates a warming, soothing sensation that penetrates deeply to break up stubborn mucus, alleviating heavy chest tightness.
• Effective Cough and Cold Treatment: Clinically proven aromatic vapours travel through the respiratory tract to suppress dry, hacking nighttime coughs, ensuring your throat gets the rest it needs to heal.
• Targeted Headache Relief: Acts as a fast-acting topical analgesic. Massaging a small amount into the temples improves localised blood flow and distracts pain receptors, naturally easing tension headaches.
• Muscle Ache Soothing Action: Formulated with camphor, it serves as a mild rubefacient, generating gentle heat to relax overworked muscles and soothe body aches associated with viral fevers.
• Uninterrupted Sleep Support: By aggressively clearing the airways and suppressing coughs, it reduces the need for mouth-breathing and prevents sleep disruptions, helping your body recover faster overnight.

For rapid and effective relief, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. For Blocked Nose & Cough: Scoop a generous, coin-sized amount of the ointment using clean fingers.
2. Application: Gently massage the rub onto your chest, neck, and back in circular motions.
3. Clothing: Leave your nightclothes loose around your throat and chest to allow the medicated vapours to reach your nose and mouth easily.
4. For Headaches & Body Aches: Apply a thin layer directly to the temples, forehead, or affected muscles and rub gently until partially absorbed.
5. Frequency: Apply up to 3–4 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Pro Tip for Severe Congestion (Steam Inhalation): Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the ointment into a bowl of steaming (not boiling) hot water. Lean over the bowl, drape a towel over your head, and inhale the medicated vapours deeply for 10–15 minutes.

Age-Specific Advisory: This extra-strong formulation is recommended for adults and children above 6 years of age.

• Ingestion Danger: Do not swallow or ingest. If accidentally swallowed, seek immediate medical assistance or contact a Poison Control Centre.
• Steam Therapy Precaution: Never heat the ointment directly in a microwave, on a stove, or in a container of boiling water to prevent splattering and severe burns.
