I read this on an email of home remedies...
Took me awhile to try it, it works !
If your congested rub vick's into the bottom of your feet
before you go to bed and put some cotton socks on;
the socks helps protect your sheets also aids in warming
your feet so the vick's can do it's job.
It even helped with my smoker's cough !

Vicks on your feet! Who'd have thought.
I have a similar remedy which involves feet and socks but which is meant to be taken at the very first sign of a cold and just before bedtime.
Put a teaspoonful of ordinary yellow Mustard powder (Coleman's is a famous brand in the UK) into a bucket and add water to come halfway up the lags, as hot as you can bare. Keep your feet in it for at least ten mins topping it up with piping hot water from time to time - PLEASE TAKE CARE NOT TO SCALD YOURSELF!!!
Mop your feet dry, put on thick socks and get straight into bed.
