I love to rub vicks on my eyes, but can it be good for my health? My kids love it when they have a scratch, or a bubu,
Answer:I use vapor rub on my lips when they are chapped and it is very soothing. The eyes would scare me though! I guess as long as you don't get it in your eyes and it is not causing you any pain, it can't be any worse then any where else on your body. I got a little road rash on my knee, I am going to try some on it!
The Cough Syrup? if it is then you should not be rubbing it on your eyes
If it feels good it can't be that bad.
I haven't read the packaging in a while, but aren't you suppose to avoid contact with eyes? As far as I know, its also for external use only, so I wouldn't put it on scratches or wounds.
I just imagine that it would sting really bad. I only use it on my chest, neck and back so I can breath when I have a cold.
