Vicks VapoRub is well-known for its topical ointment containing menthol and its application as a cough suppressant on the throat and chest. Vicks has been a household staple for many generations, but did you know that applying Vicks VapoRub to a clove of garlic can treat a wide range of other health issues?
It certainly can, and we're excited to share the word—especially in light of this peculiar and wonderful way that Vicks VapoRub and garlic work together. It's a strange concoction that works wonders. Microwave a clove of garlic for ten seconds to help relieve pain and prevent an uncomfortable ear infection. Next, insert one end of the clove into your ear and dab it with Vicks Vapo Rub. This feels soothing and combats the infection. What a miraculous remedy!
