Description
The Vicks Vaporub is an effective balm that helps alleviate multiple symptoms of cough and cold. Upper respiratory and middle respiratory congestions can be very uncomfortable and often reduce the quality of your life for several days on end. With Vicks Vaporub, you can easily escape from these uneasy symptoms of chest congestion and blockages in the nasal passage due to the common cold. This wonderful concoction, that is now a household name, is made from both medicinal and herbal extracts to provide quick and long-lasting relief from symptoms of cough and cold.
