camphor rub
Vapor chest ointment
Camphor rub is a medicated ointment containing camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus oil, applied to the chest or throat to relieve congestion from colds.
The strong vapors open nasal passages when inhaled.
Vicks VapoRub is the best-known brand.
Parents often apply it to children at bedtime: Mom rubbed camphor rub on my chest when I had the flu.
