Vicks Vaporub is an ointment which relieves the symptoms of cold in adults and children above two years old. Thanks to its active ingredients, including menthol and eucalyptus oil, Vicks VapoRub relieves nasal catarrh (inflammation of mucous membranes in the nose and throat), a blocked nose, sore throat and coughs due to colds.

1. Application: Gently massage onto chest and back. For children above 6 years old it can be gently rubbed over the neck before they go to sleep. Whilst it is being used, loose comfortable clothing should be worn, so that the vapours can be easily inhaled.

2. Inhalation: The ointment can also be used in inhalation for adults and children above 12 years old. Pour hot water (not boiling) into a suitable bowl, dissolve two teaspoons of VapoRub in the water and inhale the steam.
