Isn't life strange? When we had a lecture on
Essential Oils, they told
us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their
example: Put garlic on your
feet and within 20 minutes you can taste' it.
Some of us have used Vicks Vaporub for years for
everything from
chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in

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
