I've not seen any complaints. However, sometimes con artists use legitimate company names. If you get a check, take it to your bank, if it clears, great! But do not send anyone any personal info or money in the meanwhile.

Ways to Relieve your Migraine Headache?

When you have a migraine, you are sensitive to almost everything around you. The Sun and general lighting can be too bright, sounds may be too loud, or certain smells can intensify the migraine pain. There are some things you can do to help minimize the pain and get on with your day.Cool Towel or Ice PackApplying a cold towel or ice pack to your head can help to relieve your migraine by constricting the blood vessels. The cool feeling of the towel or ice pack may also relax you. This is best to be used while lying down in a dark room.Use MentholatumThe cooling action is coupled with a deep heating action that can help to relieve a full blown migraine. Also, the vapors from the mentholatum can help to calm the nerves.Onset and Prevention Migraine MedicationConsulting your doctor to see what would be best for your particular type of migraine headache is the key. Depending on the severity, length, frequency, and if you have problems with your vision, can dictate what type of migraine medication that your doctor prescribes. The onset medication can work immediately in the case of a migraine attack, while the migraine prevention medication can be taken daily to prevent future attacks.AcupunctureMany people have tried alternative medicine to find relief from migraine headaches. Migraine sufferers find that acupuncture can shorten the frequency and severity of the migraine, as well as relax you.Change your DietCertain foods can be migraine triggers for some people. Sometimes trial and error or process of elimination is the only way to figure out what foods may be causing your migraine. Artificial sweeteners, pizza, potato chips, peanuts, yeast goods, blue cheeses, hot dogs, products containing MSG, and certain fruits such as red plums, kiwi, papaya, and raspberries can all be potential food triggers for migraines. It helps to keep a food diary, and write down the things that you eat for a month, and when a migraine attack occurs, you can figure out which food caused it.


Can you use petro-carbo medicated first aid salve to treat ringworm?

Yes You can. It works too. My son had a ringworm on both arms about a week after playing with a stray cat tha tlives on our street...I knew exactly what this particular item was on his arm becasue about a day after he played with the cat i notice a few redish pink little spots on his arm...they didn't go away after a few days and were increasingly becoming bigger. I WATCHED THEM AND ON THE THIRD DAY, IT WAS VERY clear what they were, circles with normal skin in the middle and reddish color around the circular shape border and it didn't connect all the way around, there was a tiny opening on one side....this is a ringworm fungus, seen plenty on kids as I use to work for the local school district. I got out my Watkins salve ( used for generations in my family) (we buy it from Cracker Barrel restaurant and gifts) (about $8.00)anyways, I applied this to my sons arm and covered it with a band aides Cris crossed over the area and withing the last two days the redness is gone and the area looks like it is going away and disappearing. I have only applied this for 2 days now and it already looks to be improving. My husband thought I was crazy but he even noticed the improvement. I called the company and told them, and they assured me it is very likely the product is in fact helping the ailment because the salve has antifungal properties in it...it has Phenol and antiseptic properties that are used to treat skin lesion and skin infections or ailments. I use mentholatum on my lips when chapped and campho-phique on cold sores (it dries out the sore and cleans the area and helps slough off the dead skin too) it also helpssoI don't lick them and also on skeeter bites and other bug bites. Yes these medicines have a medicinal smell...and smell like minty menthol.....but i would rather smell like my grandmas medicine cabinet then scratching all day or having chapped lips. Now I have Watkins salve for skin irritations...and ringworms....with kids you need good home remedies.. Thank Goodness because those over the counter creams are expensive and cant be used for anything else but their intended purpose. This salve has a multitude of uses! THANK YOU WATKINS.
