Turkish Vicks (Menthol/Crystal Stones) is a natural preparation with a high concentration of mint, used exclusively for external use to relieve congestion, headaches, and muscle pain. It is applied directly to the chest and neck, inhaled by dissolving small pieces in hot water, or rubbed on the forehead, avoiding excessive use or contact with the eyes.
Detailed ways to use Turkish Vicks:
For congestion and colds (inhalation): Place one or two pieces of the stone in a bowl of hot (not boiling) water and inhale the rising steam for 10-15 minutes, or place the stone in a handkerchief and sniff it directly.
For joint and muscle pain (topical application): Rub the stone directly on the affected areas (neck, shoulders, back) with light circular motions. It can be used as a roller stone for easier application.
To relieve headaches and dizziness: Lightly touch the forehead or behind the ear with the stone to relieve tension headaches.
For foot comfort: Feet and legs can be massaged with it to stimulate blood circulation, preferably before sleep.
