Alternative Cures

Ok, I can hear you thinking “…but Vicks isn’t natural at all…”

Well, that’s true but this is such an off the wall use for the stuff, I just had to add this, because I have it on good authority (my partner!) that it works. And it is definitely alternative!

An alternative cure for night-time coughs!

If you have ever suffered from this incredibly annoying complaint, you’ve probably consumes gallons of powerful so-called cough remedies and mixtures and then spent all night coughing away like a forty-a-day smoker! Well, my partner went through all the usual attempts at stopping the cough but nothing even came close until one night she was recommended by a friend to try Vicks.

The way to use it is to rub the stuff liberally on the soles of your feet and then put on a pair of thick socks - wool is best! Then go to bed as normal.

Where before this, the cough started up as soon as my partner laid down and continued unabated until she finally got up in the middle of the night so sit drinking herbal tea, this time the cough lasted for about five minutes then stopped. For the whole night!

This alternative cure has been repeated since and has worked every time. No one knows quite why this works, but it does and it’s completely safe to use. This is so much better for your children than giving them strong cough medicine that could contain dangerous chemicals. As a completely safe alternative cure for night coughs, Vicks is a winner!

So next time your child has a fit of the night coughs, put some Vicks on their feet and give them (and you) a sound night’s sleep!
