I have used mentholatum since was a boy. Suddenly it was not carried on the East coast. I bought it in Denver for a long while but it was no longer carried there. So I was delighted to again be able to get it through Amazon.
The product is very good for chapped lips and to open nasal pass ages

Jars of Mentholatum have been a regular part of our household for as long as I can remember. I keep a jar of Mentholatum in the drawer of my nightstand and will frequently use it when I get in bed.

I am, unfortunately, one of those people who regularly deal with nasal congestion. I've found that Mentholatum can help me get through the night and seems to calm my nasal passages when I'm sleeping.

I've found it works best for me to place it just below my nose and avoid rubbing it inside my nose; the odor of Mentholatum seems to help me breath better whether it's actually doing so or not.

Mentholatum seems to be affective in the treatment of small cuts and abrasions as well as treatment of dry skin patches.

I recommend this product for use around the home.

I got my wife a jar of this for her last birthday, and she loved it. This is the real stuff -- it's been around forever, and it works as well now as it ever has. An exquisite aroma and refreshing boquet, indeed.

In a metropolitan area of 2 million people, you wouldn't think a product as basic as Mentholatum would be hard to find. But thank goodness you can buy it on Amazon! It came quickly and at a good price. I've used it since I was 8 years old and I NEED IT.

I have used Mentholatum since I was a child to keep my nasal passages open when I sleep. I have allergies and asthma and it has helped a lot. I also use it when I have a cold to sooth nostrils sensitive from sneezing and blowing my nose.

I have been having trouble finding it at drug stores and at our local Walmart and was happy to find it on Amazon, and much cheaper too! A bonus is that I am in my 50s and do not snore at night.

This item is one we have been trying to find for months. Seems the drugstores don't carry it anymore. We have used this product for years for sinus problems and chapped lips. Wouldn't use any other product now that we have received this one.

My grandfather was a doctor. He also had a cabin that we used to frequent in the Yellowstone area. Often, when we were there, people from the area would come and visit my grandfather for various ailments. Needless to say, since we were in the forest, mosquito bites were often the greatest complaint.
My grandfather always prescribed Metholatum, applied topically over the bite area, for mosquito bites. It reduced the swelling, eliminated the itchiness, and had an aromatic smell. I use it to this day for mosquito bites. In fact, that's why I came to this web page -- to order some more!

I do not like the new packaging of this product's container. Difficult to reach through the narrow opening to the wider sides. Doesn't make sense why this was changed.

I can remember that being sick with anything close to the cold or flu meant that I was going to have Mentholatum slathered all over my chest. I can remember it helping me feel better and general associate the scent with a slew of childhood memories. Now I've read that new studies show that products like Mentholatum and Vicks don't really help, that they just make you think that they help due to the scent and cooling sensation caused by the menthol (never mind the fact that a different study conducted by the Aussies came to a very differing conclusion; when citing studies those with an agenda only cite the ones they agree with). Honestly, I don't really care what the studies conclusions are, or even whether or not it actually works as far as "opening up nasal passages." All I know is that I recently bought a jar of Mentholatum-brand ointment while in the throes of one of the worst colds I've had in recent memory and it still seems to work for me. I put it on and I seem to breathe easier. Allowing my congested daughter to inhale the vapors seems to help her too (when before she would wake up every 10 minutes because of her very stuffy nose). It gives relief. What more can I ask for out of a cold-treatment product?

this is the only thing that helps me when I have a runny nose due to flu, cold or seasonal allergy. my skin under the nose would be so sore from constantly blowing my nose that I have to put mentholatum there to sooth it. nothing else would work. it also helped when my nose get all stuffed up.
