7 Surprisingly Practical Uses for Vicks VapoRub Ointment

Need to fake a few stage tears for your next starring role? Apply a thin layer of Vicks VapoRub underneath your eyes right before you go on stage to generate excess moisture that can help create faux teardrops.

Theatrical uses asides, Vicks VapoRub and other mentholated vapor rub creams are also convenient for relieving cracked heels, toenail fungus, sinus headaches, and fresh bruises. You can also use it to keep your indoor pets away from specific areas of your home and to keep mosquitoes at bay while hiking outdoors.
