The key healing ingredient in Vicks is turpentine (from pine trees).

@Zecer00 The type of vicks my mom use is made from laurel oil which is like vaseline, camphor, aucaliptus oil, and some other menthol oils so is safe to eat. I have eaten the one I bought at the pharmacy, for me is safe. I think is safer than the metal braces that some people put in their mouth... or the mercury fillings which is well know that are poisonous but still fda aproved it. or the vaccination shots which contain mercury too, why? no idea, ppl asked fda about it, they just look away.
Vick's is poisionous! Read the label. It says DO NOT INGEST. It is a petroleum based product. The topical menthol can be toxic as well with traces of arsenic or cyanide. Don't get me wrong I love Vick's on my chest, back, and feet when I'm sick. My mom did that with us too. It really helps with congestion and coughs. The menthol vapors seem to help break down the mucus in lung tissue. It was always very soothing to me. However, please DON'T EAT THE VICK'S. Try chicken soup w/ rosemary. :)

My throat and lungs and sinus have acted funny, thought about using the Vicks in the mouth, but Im scared of it, so no way. I have put Vicks on my feet tonight - socks and all, and running the humidifier tonight for bed. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better. Why does your family call it "Bicks" - accent is from Germany? I love it.
