Vicks VapoRub is a topical ointment that contains menthol, camphor, and eucalyptus oil. It’s commonly used to relieve cough and congestion symptoms. While there’s no scientific evidence that applying Vicks to your feet helps with colds, it may offer some benefits for your feet and toes, including:
Soothing relief for aches and pains: Menthol has a cooling effect that can numb minor aches and pains in your feet.
Softening dry, cracked heels: The ointment can help soften and moisturize dry, cracked skin on your heels. Apply it at night with socks to lock in moisture.
Here are some precautions to take when using Vicks VapoRub on your feet and toes:
Don’t use it on broken or irritated skin.
Don’t use it with tight-fitting socks or bandages. This can increase irritation.
Keep it away from your eyes. Menthol can cause irritation.
Don’t use it on children under 2 years old.
If you have any concerns about using Vicks VapoRub on your feet and toes, talk to your doctor.
