Nighttime Cough Remedy

from the Internet

It works 100% of the time, although the scientists at the Canada Research Council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover the feet with socks.

Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. It works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

The head of the Canada Research Council described these findings when their scientists were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like accupressure.

So, if you have grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect.
