Description
Vicks Plant is a medicinal plant used for centuries. Interestingly, this aromatic natural remedy is a member of the Lamiaceae or mint family. Vicks Plant is an easy to care for succulent that’s also known as Mexican Oregano or Succulent Coleus. Its leaves have a distinctly menthol scent that clears sinuses and eases congestion. Simply squeeze its leaves and use with steam. Make an ointment with this hard-to-find plant and petroleum jelly, and use to treat inflammation, muscle aches, bruises, arthritis, and for repelling mosquitoes.
