This product is similar to Vicks Vapo Rub but I feel Watkins Menthol Camphor works better and smells much better than the Vicks. My stuffy nose clears real fast and keeps me soothed through the night when I use this product while I am sick.

I also rub this ointment on my hands in the winter time when they get dry, chapped, and they feel sore/burning sensation. I apply the menthol camphor and my hands feel so much better. It gives them a cool relief and the burning sensation instantly dissapears. It keeps my hands soft and dry all winter! I know this is not the products intended use but it works wonders for me in the winter time.

I had never used Watkins ointment but had a friend who has raved about it for years. For dry and chapped lips I normally use Neosporin lip treatment or Carmex but lately neither item worked. Just recently my lips became so chapped and dry that they actually hurt and I had some serious dryness around my mouth. My friend suggested I get some Watkins. I went online to order it from Amazon but knew that would take at least 2 days since I was out of town. I found out this was sold at Cracker Barrel restaurants. I bought it and applied it before I went to bed and by morning I could tell the difference. My lips cleared up within 2 days. I also applied this ointment to a cut and it definitely soothes the soreness. I have 2 large tins for my home and office and a small tin for my purse. I am definitely a believer in this product.

I actually didn't know they still made this stuff. When I was a kid, I remember my parents using it on themselves & me when cold season came around. I know it is meant to be like Vicks Vap-o-rub, but it also helps with cold sores (fever blisters). Everytime I felt one coming, I'd dab some of this medicine on the tingly spot & the sore would be gone in no time! A little tin lasts FOREVER too, so it's well worth the money!

This is product my daughter swears by for the cold and flu season so every year for her BD she gets to cans. Fast shipping is a must because of course I'm the last minute shopper.

This is the ONLY thing I can use as a lip moisturizer and it doesn't make them worse. I also use this on the bottoms of my feet (I know, it sounds crazy) for deep coughs and tickles in the throat and it instantly keeps me from coughing for about 4 hours at a time and allows me to get sleep and rest. It is a pleasant smell but also smells medicated and so I won't use it (on my lips) if I'm going out or people think I'm sick. But I personally love the smell and would choose it over vicks, any day. I also use it under my nose for stuffiness and chapped nose due to blowing and it works wonders.

This is a great product. We've been using it for literally at least 3 generations. There is nothing like it on the market! Also, a an added tip, my Uncle says it cures fungal nail infections. Unsure how he found this out but I've seen it myself, the nail will actually grow out fungal free. Who knew?!?!

We have been using Watkins Camphor for years. Along with easing chest congestion and stuffy noses, I find it is a winter necessity. Watkins ointment works wonders on chapped lips and wind burned skin and is especially soothing when a cold has your face raw from all of the nose blowing. We have never tried it on sore muscles but I've no doubt the warming effect of the menthol camphor would be quite effective. I love a product that can multi-task!

This product if great for many ailments; (i.e.) fever blisters, nasal congestion, lung congestion. I have also found it works great to temporarialy alleviate arthritis pain. Just rub it on the joint and see if it works for you as well as it does for me.

I grew up using this ointment and I have never found anything better. It is good on chapped lips, cuts, cuticles, rough patches of skin, rub it on your chest when you have a cold and a thousand other uses. If you run/jog and get rub burns, this will sting a bit when you put it on but then it takes away all of the pain and helps it heal faster.

My mom has purchased this item for our ailments for a long, long, long time and now it is almost impossible to find in any local store. After finding this product on Amazon, I was pleasantly surprised and very happy that we usually can count on Amazon to locate practically any item that we need. Thanks Amazon.
