Vick’s Vapor Rub for Neuropathy Pain

I first read about using Vick's Vapour Rub a while ago, and it works for me. I put it on before going to bed, as I find that is when the burning and irritation and pain become the worst. I will re-apply in the night if needed, and it always seems to calm things down. I would be interested to know what is in it that makes it work for us neuropathy sufferers.

I believe it is the menthol in the Vicks Vapo rub, because it is also in other pain rubs I've tried.
