Menthol 2.82% w/w
Camphor 5.26% w/w
Eucalyptus Oil 1.33% w/w
Also contains: Turpentine Oil, Cedar Leaf Oil, Nutmeg Oil and Thymol in a petrolatum base.
Dosage:
Use as MEDICATED VAPOUR to relieve NASAL CONGESTION.
Fill a bowl with steaming water (not boiling!) and add 2 teaspoonfuls of VapoRub. Let your sick loved one gently inhale the steaming vapours with a towel over his head and the bowl to clear blocked noses and ease breathing difficulties. You may repeat this up to four times a day but discard bowl contents every time. And supervise the kiddos!
Use as RUB ON MASSAGE for temporary relief from COUGHS DUE TO COLDS and MINOR MUSCULAR ACHES due to colds.
Vicks VapoRub contains cough suppressants. So if you want a very good night’s sleep for the whole troop, gently apply VVR on chest and throat before bedtime to silence coughs.
A loving massage will also soothe colds-induced effects like headache, body ache and muscular stiffness.
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.
