In America there used to be a cold remedy called Vicks Vap-o-Rub. It was a mentholated gel to be rubbed on the chest of a congested person. As a child, I thought it worked because overnight, the gel got absorbed directly into my lungs, right through the skin, muscle, organs and bones. The next morning I could breathe clearly!
