The "Original" Pain Relieving Liniment
The very first product formulated by J. R. Watkins in the year 1868 and still one of our best-selling health aids! Provides great relief from the discomfort of minor muscle pain, soreness, stiffness and backaches. Just pat on for soothing relief.
• Time-tested: Since 1868!
• Liquid form: Just pat onto skin; liniment is absorbed deeply for fast relief.
• Deep penetrating formula: Reduces muscular discomfort due to overexertion, fatigue and strains; provides temporary relief for minor aches and pains associated with simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises, sprains, and stiffness.
Active Ingredient
Camphor 3.5% w/w: Occurs in nature in the camphor tree, an Asian evergreen related to cinnamon. When applied to the skin, camphor produces a mild local anesthetic action (depresses some nerve endings and stimulates others). It also acts as an antipruritic, which means it relieves itching.
Also Contains
Capsicum (red pepper): A raw material that produces a warming effect on the skin; at higher levels, a burning sensation. The burning could become unpleasant if rubbed vigorously; therefore, we recommend that this product be patted on rather than rubbed in.
Testimonial—
Individual results may vary.
“For years I tried several different forms of pain and tightness relief products with no success. One day the Minnesota Twins trainer suggested I try applying Red Liniment and I was amazed that I got instant relief! Since that day, I have continued to use Red Liniment—not only for my hamstring muscles but also for my arm and neck muscles— and have recommended it to other athletes.”
