The weather is just plain crazy. One day it’s raining (and raining hard pa with feelings) and the next you have the sun beating down on you like it’s summer. We all know what comes with our unpredictable weather — a lot of kids with awful coughs and colds.
Enter Euky Bearub, a chest rub imported from Australia. You really can’t get any more Aussie with the cute Koala in the tube 🙂
So here’s a rundown of what I think about this pretty potent chest rub:
- The Eucalyptus and menthol smell is really strong — which to me is a positive because it really relieves breathing and is great for decongestion.
- You only need a small amount to make the rub work. It’s adult strength so kids need only a teeny tiny piece of the rub. As in really really small amount lang because the rub spreads very easily. See the amount in the pic below? That’s just about the right size for David (who’s 5). I use an even smaller amount for Noah, who just turned 2.
- Since you only need a small amount, matipid sya gamitin! I can imagine the tube lasting at least a year in our household. If I feel a head cold coming on, I rub a small amount on my chest. This tube really is meant to be used by the whole family. The formulation is also great for sensitive skin. None of us developed any redness or rashes after a few days of using the rub. Of course, as with any thing topically applied to the skin, it’s always best to do a spot test.
Euky Bearub contains eucalyptus oil, eucalyptol, menthol, camphor and rosemary oil. I wrote about the possible side effects of camphor here so it is VERY important to use Euky Bearub as directed and to use only a small amount at a time. Remember to also keep the tube in a safe place away from the kids to avoid accidental ingestion. Some moms whose kids are G6PD deficient have asked me if the rub is ok and in my opinion, that since this contains menthol that its best to consult their doctors first.
All in all, Euky Bearub is a great cold and cough fighting tool to have in your first aid kit. The Eucalyptus and menthol smells really spell relief 🙂
