I have never heard of Vicks for neuropathy, yet my mom does swear by Vicks for headache pain. She rubs it on her forehead and around her eyes--she just told me the other night to try it for my headache. I had a wonderful peppermint lotion from the World Market in Michigan that was the best thing I ever found. It had the best cooling effect ever and it never failed me for anything I used it for, problem is, I could never find another bottle of it. I went to the store, their website, everything I could---they made it the one time, and that was it. I had 1 quart of it and I cut that bottle open and used every last drop of it--I have never found anything to equal it.
