Vicks Plant, or Plectranthus tomentosa, is a succulent member of the mint family native to South Africa. It’s also known as Plectranthus hadiensis var. tomentosus, Succulent Coleus. Like other non-succulent mint plants, this easy-to-grow succulent is known for the minty, camphor scent of its leaves very much like Vicks vapour rub. Its fragrance can clear up sinuses and ease congestion in our respiratory tracts. You can also use its leaves to prepare ointments with petroleum-based jelly, whether to treat inflammation or repel mosquitoes. Adding a handful of leaves to boiling water for steam inhalation is also great to cleanse the respiratory tract. The plant's leaves can also help with muscle aches, bruising, or symptoms of arthritis. Works great on insect bites too! A good plant to have in abundance both in the garden and around the home as it can also serve as a good mosquito and insect repellent. Contact for Plants and steam packs by DM or Call...
