I would be really careful with using that on yourself. Or any living creature. It is toxic stuff. It has turpentine oil and petroleum in it. Basically gasoline. It breaks up your immune system and clogs your pores so badly your skin cannot breath. Your best bet is to read the labels and do not pay money for or use anything with Mineral oil, Petroleum in it. Very bad. It costs them more to throw it out then to sell it. What you are digging in the Vapor rub is the Camphor, the Peppermint, Eucalyptus. Do yourself a huge favor and go get you some benign oil, like Shea butter. It is incredible stuff. Safe non-toxic, the pores can still breath, you will be feeding your biggest organ, your skin. It will only help, not hurt you or damage your precious immune system and your skin. Mix the essential oil into the oil you choose to use. Olive oil would even work. If you want to fire a few drops into the tub your whole body will tingle. Personally I hate that sensation but that is me. Get in a tub of water, throw in a few drops of Peppermint oil and it is really a trip. I would stay away from using essential oils straight on your skin too, highly not recommended. Cut it with some olive oil. Have fun, get your jollies but be smart and safe about it. I have heard ginger is a safe bet way to burn up yourself if you like that stinging hot sensation. I heard here once about a guy whose wife said his dink was stinky so he took a tube of toothpaste and squirted it into his urethra screaming "Does it smell clean now?" Yeah, he had to be hospitalized.
