Healing Cuts
We’ve heard from the Asian community that Vicks VapoRub works well in healing cuts. Apparently, dabbing a bit of the ointment on the cut and covering it with a bandage will allow it to heal faster. If this really works—and judging by the number of people who vouch for this hack, it does—you should definitely give it a try the next time you get a cut.
And it’s not just about getting rid of the red mark, either. The stinging properties of Vicks VapoRub works as somewhat of a disinfectant that envelopes the wound, creating a blanket of cold and heat, all in one.
