My sister Icy Madelene (aka Pat) McMurray is famous in our family for her belief in the restorative and healing properties of Vicks VapoRub. She has told me that this marvelous ointment can treat/cure anything.
Because of this, I was most interested in a Facebook post concerning the uses for Vicks VapoRub. I did a quick Google search on Vicks VapoRub and will relate below from memory some of the interesting things I discovered. You can do a Google search for more detailed information, but the Facebook post listed the following uses:

Sore throat—rub on throat and wrap with a man’s sock. I would not call myself a woman’s “libber” (is that still even a “socially/politically” correct term?), but would a woman’s hose or stocking work just as well?
Decongestant—rub on chest and under each nostril. It is important to wear clothing that is loose around the chest and neck that will allow the vapors to be directed toward the nose. It is also imperative that Vicks VapoRub not be used internally, even inside the nose, to prevent too much absorption into the mucous membranes. I also discovered that Vicks VapoRub should not be used in any way on children under two years of age (Source: https://www.news-medical.net/news/2009/01/13/44914.aspx, Retrieved January 6, 2022).
Coughs—rub generously on feet and cover with socks to minimize coughing. It seems, according to my memory per reading Google, that there are sensors in the feet that relate to coughing. Additional triggers for coughing are located along the spine.
Sore muscles—rub generously on sore muscles. (Note the word “generously”.)
Headaches—rub a small amount on your temples and forehead. (Note the word “small”.)
Ear aches—apply a small amount to a cotton ball and place in ear to relieve pain. (Again, note the word “small”.)
Nail fungus—rub on toenails with fungus. Dark color will go away as the nail grows out.
Mosquito repellant—rub a small amount to exposed skin. Note the word “small”, and also be aware that the fumes from Vicks VapoRub might also repel some humans, as not everyone appreciates the properties or smell of this formula.
Itchy bug bites—rub on bite and cover with a band-aid.
Cracked heels—rub on feet in the morning and at night.
Acne—dab on zit to clear it up.
Cold sores—rub a little on the area when you begin to feel one coming on.

A person once told me that it is not advisable to use Vicks VapoRub on hemorrhoids. This person knew from personal experience that it would have been better to have used a corn cob on the end of a rusty file than to have used Vicks VapoRub for this purpose. I would recommend Preparation H for relief of discomfort from hemorrhoids, but for no other purpose. I have heard the story of a soon-to-be married man who was advised by those who knew better that he should use Preparation H as a lubricant. The temporary (though thankfully not permanent) results were less than satisfactory.
There are instances in which Vicks products have been banned in certain instances and countries, notably in Japan: “Due to Japan’s strict anti-stimulant drug laws, any drugs containing pseudoephedrine like Sudafed and . . . Vicks inhalers are prohibited in the country.” (Source: https://soranews24.com/2014/06/01/do-you-have-anything-to-declare-here-…, Retrieved January 6, 2022). An internet search will also provide additional uses for Vicks VapoRub and related products as well as warnings regarding their usage.
I leave you for now, Dear Reader, with a few morsels from my email world.

There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to urinate on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

When you get a bladder infection you know urine trouble.

Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks
or it will digest itself.

In days of old, personal hygiene often left much room for improvement. As a result, many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions. When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman's face she was told, 'mind your own bee's wax.' Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term 'crack a smile'. In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt. Therefore, the expression 'losing face.'
