I am thankful that I have a wealth of comforting childhood memories; from baking in the kitchen with my aunts, to playing “house” with my little brother and so much more. But no memory is more fond in my heart than when my mother took care of me when I was sick. For whatever reason other than being a child in school that was around lots of other children, I seemed to bring home lots of colds and flu but I am thankful my mom was always there with warm hugs, soft hands and chicken soup – she always knew what to do to make me feel better. These comforting memories are associated with the herbal aroma of Vicks VapoRub: my mom’s secret “get better faster” medicine. In fact, to this day the scent of Vicks VapoRub is one of my favorites. Once the lid twists off the iconic blue jar and that familiar menthol and eucalyptus scent wafts up I get the immediate sense of comfort and nostalgia. I am more than happy to provide the same warm comfort to my own children now that I am a mom.
Just like mom’s everywhere, it breaks my heart whenever my children do not feel well. Seeing their sad little faces just melts me and I would do anything to help them feel better as quickly as possible. However, I do have to be honest and say that having the opportunity to snuggle and love on them as much as I want is quite the bright side of my children being sick. They can’t say no! haha. I regularly use Vicks VapoRub to give them relief and comfort when they are ill.
Vicks VapoRub contains camphor, eucalyptus oil, and menthol and is appropriate for everyone from age 2 years old and up. The medicated vapors of Vicks VapoRub help alleviate pain and discomfort instantly, without the drowsiness or jittery side effects that can be experienced with oral medicines. Additionally, #1 Doctor Recommended Vicks VapoRub proves safe for use throughout pregnancy, a welcomed alternate to other cough medicines. And did you know that you can use Vicks VapoRub on muscles and joints? It will temporarily relieve minor aches and pains of muscles and joints too!
Knowing that I have my very own “get better faster” secret mom weapon in the kids bathroom medicine cabinet makes me feel better prepared for cold and flu season. Happy, healthy kids makes me a happy, healthy mom!
