So I have heard that putting Mentholatum (Vick's) on your feet and then putting on socks helps with coughing. I've seen it done to some of the kids I watch too, but I still didn't quite believe it.
Yesterday I started feeling pretty crappy. This morning, I couldn't breathe through my nose. I put some on my feet and then put on socks before taking Chris to work, and almost instantly, a HUGE chunk (yes, I said chunk) of snot came out my nose and a bunch more came out after that. I've progressively felt better since then and now the only reason I'm not wanting to go to work is because I'm sleepy, but some chai will fix that problem.
So seriously guys, it works. People aren't crazy when they say to put Vick's on your feet. It also keeps the goopy stuff out of your hair, which also kicks butt.
