Quick Relief for a Headache
Topic: Medicine Chest
Feel a headache coming on? Quick grab your tin of Watkins Menthol Camphor ointment and rub a little on your temples, the back of your neck or pressure areas. Menthol has shown to quickly relieve the discomfort of tension headaches, migraines and sinus pressure. A little experimenting will help you find the right area for the most effective relief. Give it a try, it may reduce your use of painkillers like asa and acetaminophen.

Protect yourself and family from West Nile Virus and more.
Topic: Medicine Chest
Oh, warm weather and the start of summer activities—fishing, camping, boating and mosquito slapping. With disease-carrying mosquitoes just itching to grab a bite to eat, they're no longer just a pest; they're a real threat. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the most effective repellents for protection against West Nile Virus and encephalitis-carrying mosquitoes are those that contain DEET. In a test conducted by The New England Journal of Medicine, non-DEET products offered little or no protection, while DEET-containing products provided full protection for several hours. DEET has a remarkable safety record after 40 years of use and remains the gold standard for protection from disease-carrying insects—it also protects from Lyme-disease carrying ticks, as well as chiggers, biting flies, gnats and fleas. Watkins Insect Repellent contains 23.75% DEET—the amount that provided the most protection in this study—and just enough to keep insects from being a pain in the neck.

Take care,
Melody
