Is vicks vaporub safe during pregnancy?

Applying a very thin layer of Vicks is safe, but for congestion, also try doing gentle 'Anulom Vilom' pranayama in a well-ventilated room. It helps clear the nasal passages naturally without any chemicals.

I agree with most of the comments here. My wife's gynecologist also said external use of Vicks is perfectly fine for congestion.

Haan, bilkul darrne ki baat nahi hai. My sister used it when she had a bad cold during her third trimester. Bas steam mein ek chota drop daal lo, use relief mil jayega na.

I totally understand how stressful it is to worry about every single product when you are pregnant. But rest assured, using a normal amount of Vicks on your forehead or neck is completely safe and won't harm your little one.
