I love vicks. Seriously, my family grew up on vicks. I think everyone of my family members has a jar of vicks next to their nightstand.

One thing that makes me more hesitant to use it, is the chemicals found in traditional vicks. We try to do as natural, free of chemicals as we can in this home so this is the perfect hybrid for us. Found over at Real Food RN you will find the tutorial for a restful, clear sinus sleep. I can’t wait to make my own.
