Sore throat? Here’s some VapoRub. Bleeding out? Here’s some Vaporub. Struggling with your mental health? VapoRub is sure to fix it. From […]

While self-care may have been something people struggled with before the pandemic, the COVID-19 outbreak and quarantine have even more so affected the mental health of many Americans.
