This was sent to me in an e-mail. Not sure if it works, but wanted to see if anyone else has tried it. If it does work, I wish I had know about this a week ago, my daughter was getting over a nasty spring cold and was at the coughing stage, nothing seemed to help.
Treatment:
To stop night time coughing in a child (or an adult, as we found out
personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at
bedtime and then cover with socks.
Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes
and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent
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. I heard the head of the Canada
Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists
when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription
cough medicines in children, as compared to alternative therapies like
acupressure. I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this
guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than
good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs, so I listened. It
was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed
medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition to have a soothing
and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.
My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and
persistent cough a few weeks ago, and it worked 100 percent! She said it
felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped in a
few minutes, and believe me this was a deep (incredibly annoying!) every
few seconds, uncontrollable cough and she slept cough-free for hours
every night she used it.
If anyone out there has a cough, try it tonight and let me know if it works. TIA
