Oy! My Achin' _________ (You Fill in the Blank!)


Yikes! Today it will be no secret at our place that "Momma has a VERY stiff back & neck"--Why? Well it probably has something to do with the massive weed pulling fest in my side garden/front garden. Since the vegetable garden is bigger than most ppl's yards I think you can understand my pain! haha But, never fear, I shan't (yes I said shan't) feel this way for long. Why? Well it's simple...I have Watkins Products of course!! I have so many to choose from I don't know which one to use-- since they're ALL wonderful & seem like Heaven on my aches & pains!

I could go straight for WATKINS LINIMENT .

Watkins Red Liniment The very first product sold by J. R. Watkins in 1868 is still a classic. The active ingredient in our legendary Red Liniment is camphor, from an Asian evergreen related to cinnamon. Together with red pepper extract, it works by stimulating nerve receptors that feel heat, masking the feeling of pain and relieving the discomfort of minor muscle pain, soreness and stiffness. In our shatter-resistant Trial Mark™ bottle. For external use only. (325mL/11 fl. oz.)CN $13.99

OR I could put a little WHITE CREAM LINIMENT on. Just rub away the pain! For relief without burning,simply rub on and feel the pain go away. A deeppenetrating
formula that relieves minor aches.

• Time-tested: Since 1915!
• Cream lotion: Won’t dry the skin; leaves it
feeling soft and smooth; rub into skin to
stimulate circulation.
• Deep penetrating formula: Reduces muscular
discomfort due to overexertion, fatigue and
strains; provides temporary relief for minor aches
and pains associated with simple backache,
arthritis, strains, bruises, sprains, and stiffness;
won’t leave a greasy film on skin.
(325 ml/11 fl oz) $13.99
or (2 fl. oz.)CN $7.49

THEN there's ICY BLUE OINTMENT

Put muscle aches on ice!This modern pain-relieving gel cools down muscle aches, minor arthritis, and simple back pain. Natural menthol, extracted from peppermint, stimulates nerve endings that transmit feelings of cold—like an ice pack—to override the sensation of pain.
(105 g) CN $7.59

Or if I wanted I could use ANALGESIC BALM

Feel the heat—not the pain!A great muscle warm-up rub, this greaseless, stainless, deep-heating rubbing cream penetrates rapidly to relieve and relax muscle tension and soreness, and provide temporary relief from minor arthritis.
(110 g)CN $8.69

A great muscle warm-up rub for the athlete, Watkins
Analgesic Balm is formulated to provide quick
temporary relief from minor arthritic and rheumatic
aches. With menthol and methyl salicylate, this
balm packs a one-two counterirritant punch!
• Time-tested: Since 1959!
• Deep penetrating formula: Absorbs into skin to
relieve pain, leaving no greasy film; reduces muscular
discomfort due to overexertion, fatigue and
strains; provides temporary relief from minor
aches and pains associated with simple backache,
arthritis, bruises and sprains.
• Cream base: Easy to apply; no mess or waste;
long-lasting; has a moisturizing effect on the skin.
• Non-staining: Clothing worn over treated areas
won’t be affected.
• Quick-acting: Absorbed rapidly to relieve soreness
and relax muscle tension.
• Economical: Costs less per ounce than the leading
national brand.
• Convenient: Compact container fits in gym bag.

With so many pain relief products to experience...I may not mind the occasional pain in the neck. (I'm not just talkin' about my Hubby or the kids either!)

Try one/all (not at the same time though silly!) for yourself! I'm sure you'll agree with me!
