Vicks Vaporub Xtra Strong 25ml

Vicks Vaporub Xtra Strong is used for managing various symptoms associated with cold, cough, and flu. This topical ointment combines the benefits of Camphor, Menthol, and Eucalyptus to help soothe and comfort you during periods of illness. The extra-strength formula is particularly effective in combating symptoms such as headaches, nasal congestion, and a runny nose. Camphor is known for its ability to alleviate pain and discomfort, making it a key ingredient in providing relief from headaches and muscle pain associated with colds. Menthol provides a cooling sensation that helps open up nasal passages, making it easier to breathe. At the same time, Eucalyptus has natural decongestant properties that further help relieve a congested and runny nose. Vicks Vaporub Xtra Strong can be applied topically to the chest, back, and throat to relieve symptoms or inhaled by adding it to hot water for steam inhalation. It's an essential item for providing comfort and relief during cold and flu season.

• Camphor: Camphor is a key ingredient in Vicks Vaporub, known for its ability to manage congestion and ease breathing. It provides a cooling sensation that soothes irritated airways and helps clear nasal passages. Camphor also has anti-inflammatory properties, which help manage swelling and discomfort caused by colds. When applied to the skin, it is quickly absorbed and begins to work, providing relief from chest congestion, sore muscles, and cough. Additionally, camphor acts as a mild analgesic, helping to manage headaches and other discomforts associated with colds.
   
• Menthol: Menthol, derived from peppermint oil, provides a refreshing and cooling effect that helps open up blocked airways. It stimulates the sensory nerves, producing a sensation of easier breathing, which is especially beneficial during congestion. Menthol also has mild anaesthetic properties, which can help soothe sore throats and manage the intensity of coughing. The scent of menthol is strong enough to clear nasal passages and offer immediate relief from stuffiness, making it an essential component in cold relief ointments.
   
• Eucalyptus Oil: Eucalyptus oil is well known for its respiratory benefits, particularly its ability to loosen mucus and relieve congestion. It contains cineole, a compound that acts as a natural decongestant and anti-inflammatory agent. Eucalyptus oil helps break down phlegm, making it easier to expel and relieving chest tightness. The soothing aroma of eucalyptus also provides a calming effect, managing stress and promoting relaxation, which is helpful when dealing with cold symptoms. Additionally, eucalyptus oil’s antibacterial properties support overall respiratory health during colds.

• Provides a Sense of Comfort: Vicks Vaporub Xtra Strong offers a comforting sensation that helps you feel better during colds. The combination of cooling and warming effects soothes the body and mind, making it easier to rest and recover.
   
• Fights Cold and Cough: The powerful ingredients in this vaporub work together to combat the irritating symptoms of cold and cough. The soothing vapours help manage coughing fits, while the topical application relieves chest congestion.
   
• Relieves Headache: Vicks Vaporub effectively manages headaches caused by colds. When applied to the temples or forehead, the cooling sensation from menthol and camphor helps ease tension and alleviate pain.
   
• Clears a Congested Nose: The menthol and eucalyptus oil in Vicks Vaporub are particularly effective in relieving nasal congestion. Inhalation of the vapours opens up blocked nasal passages, providing quick and lasting relief from stuffiness.
   
• Manages Runny Nose: Vicks Vaporub Xtra Strong helps manage a runny nose's discomfort by managing mucus production and easing nasal irritation. The soothing vapours also provide relief from sneezing and other related symptoms.
