Baby, it’s Cold Outside

A number of Watkins products will  keep those coughs and colds at bay.

With the record-breaking cold front working its way across the country, flu-like symptoms are being felt from Southern California to Maine. While not as serious as a full-blown case of influenza, a number of Americans are staying home from work or school. Many are relieved they don’t have to get out in all that snow, but cold symptoms are keeping these unfortunate folks in bed and miserable! But someone has to shovel that driveway. No, the creators of this blog won't be on the next plane to help you with that freezing task. But you can order a number of Watkins products to relief those aching muscles, and start you back on the road to recovery. 

It was J.R. Watkins himself who founded the company back in 1868 with the creation of his pain liniment that started it all. Some 145 years later, that pain liniment is still a big-seller, particularly during the winter months when colds produce those “ache-all-over” feelings. 

That was the beginning of Watkins apothecary line. Soon to follow were products to relieve coughs and congestion. Today, many households use the Watkins Cough Syrup & Decongestant. This product is a cough suppressant, and opens up nasal passages so those affected can breathe easier, particularly at night when in a prone position.

Nothing can help you feel better when you have a cold like a long, hot bath. But it doesn’t do much good if you just lie there. Try WatkinsMenthol Camphor Breathe Easy Bath Soak. Just the name will start soothing away your aches and pains. In addition, the camphor ingredient will help you breathe easier. This product has become so popular that it is now available as an ointment, a spray, Menthol Lavender Drops and as a vapor rub.

All of these Watkins products should be in your medicine chest. If you are already confined to bed, they better be on you night stand, along with a big box of tissues. You also might suggest to your significant other that a hot bowl of Watkins chicken soup, seasoned with the famous Watkins Black Pepper and Sea Salt, would really help you! Get well soon!
