Default biofreeze ?

I was going to a chiopractor who used biofreeze and i think that was the only good thing that he did or used. i have gone to several stores to purchase some and i can not find it. I have seen a couple of post here and on other boards from people who use this and I was wondering if some one could tell me where they buy it. I have seen it on ebay and on the net, but i would rather buy it in a store to avoid shipping and handling charges. thanks to anyone who can help me.

Hi Sharon. I use Biofreeze. My daughter is a pysical therapist at a hospital and when she orders her other needs, she get an extra bottle for me.

I think if you will look up a medical supply store you may find it or at least tell you where to get it. Try that and if no luck, let me know and I will see if I can help you find it.

Have you asked the chiro if they would sell you some? just a thought. Good luck and like I said, if you do not have results let me know and I will try to help you find some.

take care, Jo

Thumbs up EBay

My lest expensive way to purchase BioFreeze has always been Ebay.
I buy the roll on for easier application and can generally find tow to three bottles for the price of one retail. Last time I paid $5.50 and shipping was included.

I still have two bottles so have not priced it recently. I like that the odor disapates quickly.

Also, Eckerd Drug store, if you still have any as CVS bought them out has a brand of Thermacare, body heat- heat patches on special now for a $1 for box of three' reg. $5.99 for thermacare. (they are right next to the thermacare's).

Oh, if you want mega penatrating and don't mind the strong odor, there is aproduct my PT uses called Natures chemist
www.natureschemist.com



Nature's Chemist® is 100% natural and contains no artificial ingredients. Its formula combines maximum strength menthol for pain relief with all natural essentials oils and natural extracts. Menthol, the pain relieving ingredient in Nature's Chemist is at The Maximum strength allowed over the counter. It penetrates deeply and works fast to relieve pain. Major clinicial research study conducted at the Bennett Institute for Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation by a physician and faculty member of The John Hopkins University showed that Nature's Chemist reduces arthritis pain in advanced cases by an average of 67%.

The History of Nature's Chemist®
Nature's Chemist® was introduced nationally in 1999 as an alternative to oral medications and their possible complications and has since provided long lasting and soothing relief from pain associated with minor arthritis, muscle aches, bruises, backaches, strains and sprains.

The original all-natural formula dates back over 900 years to a peaceful monastery in Tibet.

The modern story began when a young American neuromuscular therapist volunteered his services at a missionary hospital in Asia some time ago. There he met a Tibetan monk who massaged arthritic patients with a natural herbal menthol ointment he compounded himself. When asked by the American what it was, the monk revealed it was an all-natural herbal formula that had been created over 900 years ago in his Tibetan monastery.

He then shared the formula with the young American therapist.

Menthol, the pain-relieving ingredient in Nature's Chemist®, is at the maximum strength allowed over the counter. This is combined with natural ingredients, along with triple skin conditioners lanolin, glucosamine and chondroitin to help prevent skin dryness. Nature's Chemist® works topically, so there are no internal side effects.

Contains the maxium amount of menthol allowed over the counter with anhydrous lanolin for extra absorbtion.

Contains no aspirin, water, alchohol, salicylates, petroleum chemicals, waxes, fillers, dyes or colors.

To order by phone, call: 1-800-345-1537 (10am - 4pm EST M-F)

Hi sharon. i'm happy you found a place so close. if daughter didn't keep me supplied I would have been hurnting high and low for it.

It helps me, I know it doesn't cure but when you are hurting so bad you can't sleep it might give some relief. Glad you found it ((((Sharon))))
