Vicks VapoRub is formulated with Menthol, Camphor, and Eucalyptus Oil, all recognized for their soothing properties in alleviating cough and cold symptoms. It effectively addresses six distinct symptoms: nasal congestion, difficulty in breathing, cough, body aches, headaches, and muscle stiffness.
**Instructions for Use:** Apply the ointment to the chest, throat, and back to alleviate the aforementioned cold symptoms. Relief from cough, nasal congestion, and breathing difficulties can be felt within five minutes.
