Q: Is it safe for pets to be in the same room when this is being used in a vaporizer, or should they be kept away?
submitted by DB - 5 months ago
A: Eucalyptus oil is highly toxic to dogs and cats and should never be used on them. Toxicity: Eucalyptus oil contains a compound called eucalyptol, which can cause severe respiratory irritation, seizures, and even death in dogs. Droplets of this in the air effectively attach to pet fur and potentially ingested by grooming. Even small amounts of eucalyptus oil can be toxic, especially when ingested or applied directly to the skin.

Very Soothing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Vicks VapoSteam for a few years now, and it’s one of those staples I make sure to keep in the house, especially during the winter months. When added to a warm mist humidifier, the medicated vapors work wonders to relieve congestion and help me (and my family) sleep better when we’re under the weather. The scent is strong but soothing — that signature Vicks menthol aroma — and it starts working almost immediately once the steam fills the room. It really helps open up the sinuses and ease coughs, particularly at night when symptoms tend to get worse. I also like that it doesn’t leave any mess or residue in the humidifier like some essential oils can. Just pour a little into the water chamber and you’re good to go. It’s gentle enough for kids (though I always use less for them) and doesn’t irritate sensitive noses. Highly recommend keeping a bottle or two on hand — it’s one of those simple products that genuinely makes a difference when you’re sick.
Fine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t know if this did much honestly. I still have a cold after using it and although I think it helped some congestion, didn’t take it fully away. I think consistent use would be more effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a medication that you add to a Vicks humidifier. It is supposed to help when you have a cough or are sick. It was easy to use, you just add a few drops to the humidifier.
Useful and helpful for stuffy noise

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lately I’ve been in need of a humidifier and Vicks just saved my life with this combo. It was so easy to put together, packing was great and instructions were useful. I’m really happy with the product and how effective has been. I like the minty scent and it does help with my stuffy noise.
Love Vicks

Great for cough and colds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've used Vicks VapoSteam both in our baths and in our Vicks warm mist humidifier during these winter months whenever our kids have had a cold. It has been soothing for their cough and has helped them sleep better through the night. The bottle lasts a long time as well as we have used it several times and still have more than half of the bottle left. I would highly recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] “Vicks VapoSteam works incredibly well—it has helped open my son’s airways and improved his breathing significantly. It’s worth every penny for the relief it provides. The packaging and scent have a medicinal feel, which reassures me that it’s doing its job. Most importantly, it’s highly effective and delivers the results we need. I highly recommend it! It's safe."
Simple and effective!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works exactly as expected with the Vicks warm mist humidifier, the simplicity of use is exceptional. To me, it was not a strong scent however my son asked me to turn it off and found it overwhelming. I personally prefer this to slathering traditional Vicks on myself.
Did not help with cough suppression

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was sent to me as part of a promotion, but all reviews are my own true honest opinions on the product. I have been using this vaposteam with my Vicks humidifier and when I do my room smells pleasant. However, I could not notice any improvement in cough suppression which is the main purpose of this product. It comes with a decent amount of product but it’s pricey and doesn’t do what it says it does. Also, for those with pets, please be aware it’s unsafe for them to ingest or inhale. Overall, the only thing I liked about this vaposteam was the smell and therefore I have to give it a low rating.
Smells great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great to open up your sinuses, perfect for when you're feeling miserable and congested when you're sick. I can't speak to the cough suppressant portion because I wasn't sick when I used it but I think it's incredible that something added to the air can help relieve a cough!
Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Vicks VapoSteam Cough Suppressant Liquid for hot steam vaporizers works great. It helps when my children or myself have a cough. You simply need to just use the proper amount. I use it with my Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier. It makes medicated steam that helps relieve the cough. It's easy to fill to use. I'm really happy with this product. I recommend this Vicks VapoSteam Cough Suppressant Liquid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product definitely works! This flu season was horrible, and I was stuck with a dry cough after, and I would put this on at night while I slept, and I finally felt relief and didn't wake up coughing! Great product. I definitely recommend it to my family and friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Influenster and Vicks for sending the Vicks VapoSteam to me in exchange for my honest review. I had a sick adult child come in for a visit and used the Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier with the VapoSteam bedside for him. Truly helped his congested chest while he was sleeping. These two used in conjunction is a winner for anyone who needs that TLC when they are sick.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was just okay. Didn’t have a super strong smell, which was good but I also didn’t feel like it did much. A lot comes in the bottle so it is a good value, and maybe would work well if used consistently.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Soothing Relief in a Bottle! Vicks VapoSteam has been a game changer for my cough and congestion! Just adding it to my (also Vicks) warm mist humidifier creates a medicated steam that helps me breathe easier and sleep more comfortably. The camphor infused vapor is super soothing, especially when dealing with dry, irritated airways. It's quick & easy to use. Just add to your vaporizer or humidifier's medicine cup (not the tank). You get instant relief as it moistens dry air and helps calm coughs. It's pediatrician recommended which is why I trust it over essential oils for congestion. A little goes a long way! One quick tip-VapoSteam looks a lot like cold medicine, so just be mindful around little ones and when you're grabbing it for yourself (like with anything else). But overall, pairing this with my Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier has been a huge help! I highly recommend for anyone battling coughs or dry air!
Works great for the humidifier and stuffy nose can
