For the first time ever, Vicks, the brand you’ve known and trusted for generations, launched a VapoRub Facebook page to help moms stay in the loop with tips, advice and news on how to keep the whole family healthy. The page will offer family-friendly cold and cough information and an open-forum discussion board for readers to post their own helpful insights.
I’m on facebook all day. Well not actively but I read my status updates pretty regularly and I love that I can get so much information there, not just what my friends and family are doing. I follow a lot of companies and not only do I get deal ideas, but I also get great tips from a lot of them, Vicks VapoRub included!
I’m also a fan of Vicks products! The VapoRub works great with coughs. My mother used to rub some on our chests when we were younger so it’s something I’ve grown up with and now use with my children. My oldest always gets a cough when she has a cold and we rub a little bit on her chest and it works really well. I recently read that you should not use it on children age 2 and under so I wanted to make sure I passed that information along.
Vicks has a new Facebook page and they would love for you to become a fan of it. Check it out when you have some time.

Handwashing is an absolute must, as well as proper disposal of dirty tissues. Don’t share pillows, eating utensils, and drinking glasses too.
As soon as a cold presents itself begin treating it so it doesn’t get too severe and linger.
I am a fan of Koupon Karen and Vicks on Facebook.
I love Vicks and I keep my house clean by using Lysol on all of the door knobs and light switches to keep them nice and germ free. Also, by dusting and vacuuming on a regular basis and not leaving dishes in the sink.
Good hygiene and vitamins
I always make my children wash their hands, especially before eating. Anytime they’re sick, I wash their sheets and change their toothbrushes and make sure they take they’re vitamins!

Remember to cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough. Never neglect hand washing.
we eat right: lots of fruits and vegies and we drink a lot of water. We wash hands a lot and we dress properly. Yes, you heard me right. Wearing ballerina shoes with no socks on a snowy/frosty day is not smart… and I see it too often. keeping warm is important and sometimes fasion has to come second.
thanks.
I get your emails.
During flu and cold season I wipe off all the surfaces that are touched on regular basis and make all the kids wash their hands and Myself and my husband as well.

I just try to keep everything clean and disinfected, especially all the door knobs and faucet handles. I also taught my children early on that hand washing and not sharing certain items will help in reducing colds and they also were taught about sneezing and coughing and the right way to cover their mouth or nose.

I believe the most important way to keep my family healthy is to start with healthy food. Foods that will give my family the vitamins and minerals needed to give our bodies the immunity it needs to fight off infections. From there exercise. The second. I don’t do well, but the food, we do good on. 🙂
LOOOOTS of Handwashing 🙂

Did you know that using Vicks Vapor rub on nail fungus has the same cure rate as using a perscription drug without the side effects??
I rub Vicks on the kids chest or even ours when we have stuffy noses. Wash hands all the time during the winter and when sick. Cover your mouth when you cough, and when you sneeze try to in a tissue. Drink lots of O.J. when you have a cold.
We wash our hands as soon as we walk in the door.

We practice a lot of hand washing and when we do get sick, we use Vicks VapoRub.
I use four main ideas to help keep the whole family healthy:
1. Start off each day with a healthy, hearty breakfast.
2. Get at least 30 minutes of fresh air and exercise at least 5 days a week.
3. Wash hands often.
4. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
