No, putting Vicks VapoRub directly into your bath is not recommended.
While Vicks VapoRub is commonly used for inhaling its vapors when mixed with warm water, using it in a bath poses potential risks. According to the manufacturer, this method is not advised.
Why you shouldn't put Vicks in the bath:
- Skin Irritation: Putting Vicks VapoRub in the bath can cause the ointment to come into direct contact with sensitive skin over a larger area, leading to potential irritation and a burning sensation.
Instead of putting Vicks VapoRub directly into the bath, consider alternative methods for vapor inhalation, such as using a humidifier or a bowl of warm water, as indicated by the manufacturer's instructions for safe and effective use.
