You can take bath,but put " VicksVaporub" into the normal hot water at which condition your body accept and tolerate.The bottle says "Do not add into the boiling water" and "Do not heat or reheat(using stove/microwave)Vaporub together with water."Vicks vaporub"can be melt,but not into the boiling water.So that you can inhale,steam and bath "Vicks vaporub" using it with normal hot water.Please tell me that my answer is correct or not.

I wouldnt.......wait till afterwards and put it on your chest to relieve congestion.

I would say you could be in a room or in a shower with it on your chest, not under the running water but just to take advantage of the steam. They also make these large tablets that you place on the shower floor, that dissolve in teh shower stream, which are wonderful. They are called Sudacare shower Soothers.
