READ IT ALL. It works 100 percent of the time, although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.
 
Treatment :
To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or an adult, as we found out
personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at
bedtime and then cover with socks.
 
Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and
stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the
time, and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription
cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and
they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council
describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were
investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines
in children, as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. I just
happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why
cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical
makeup of these strong drugs, so I listened. It was a surprising finding
and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at
bedtime, and in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick
children who then went on to sleep soundly. My wife tried it on herself
when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago, and
it worked 100 percent! She said it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped
her. The coughing stopped in a few minutes, and believe me this was a deep
(incredibly annoying!) every few seconds, uncontrollable cough and she
slept cough-free for hours every night she used it. If you have children or
grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will
be absolutely amazed by the effect.
