Probably you are suffering from viral fever just take 1 Tab of Crocin (500 mg) twice daily and apply Nasoclear Nasal drops in each of your nostrils if nasal blockade is troubling you too much. Everything should subside by week end.

Stay away from Vicks on your penis in order to last longer! You and your girl friend will be in lots of geital pain (both of you) in no time and furthermore, the smell of Vicks will be very off putting and will stay with you for a very long time. Just go to a pharmacy (just ask) or a sex shop (even online) and purchase a safe, well-recommended numbing cream for your penis. You and your girl friend´s genitals and noses will thank you.

There is no easy way to lose weight. You have to exercise and eat healthy to work it off. Vicks vaporub will not have any impact at all. Where did you get this idea from? Simply start by cutting out refined carbohydrates, baked items, bread, sugar and oily foods from your diet completely. Go for more fruits, vegetables and protein in your meals. Snack on nuts. Start out with a 30-minute walk daily. Once you start yourself on this lifestyle change you will suddenly notice weight shedding off.
