Boiron - Arnica Montana 30c, 30c, 80 pellets Review

Boiron - Arnica Montana 30c, 30c, 80 pellets
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I understand where the first commentater with the 1-star rating may be coming from. However, the user must understand how this Homeopathic medicine works. Arnica Montana does exactly what it says, only not like Allopathic drugs. Used in conjunction with the Arnica Gel when an injury has occured - bruising, swelling and pain is essentially minimalized or stopped. The pellets work internally, and are gentle, the gel works topically with no odor or stickiness.
This combination is what i use for myself and my children- twin boys under 2yrs old, who are constantly getting bumps and falls. Just over the weekend, my son ran out a slider door onto a concrete patio , landed flat on his forhead. We immediately used Arnica Gel and pellets on the heavily dented area on his forhead that was starting to swell, and continued that every hour or so for the next day as needed, and my son had virtually no swelling and no bruising.
I personally use the pellets if my muscles are sore, I describe their effectiveness by : after taking them, i go about my day, and notice later on that i haven't had a complaining thought about the pain i was feeling before...i do find i take more doses than i would an nsaid, but it works.

Goody's Headache Powders, Extra Strength, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) Review

Goody's Headache Powders, Extra Strength, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
From age 25, I suffered migraines so bad vomiting was a given.
75mg Demerol/25mg Phenergan was the only cure. Then a co-worker got addicted to prescription drugs and spiraled down and I refused to take Demerol any longer. Topamax, Imitrex, Fioricet, Toradol, Midrin, etc., I tried them all. Some worked/some didn't and any pills dissolved too slowly to do much good and my stomach rejected them. I was given injection Imitrex and suppository Phenergan to take home but could not force myself to use them so suffering or an injection from my physician was the choice. MRI's and CAT scans revealed nothing but healed bone damage and vitamins and a fortune spent at health food stores did not stop the at least once or twice a month crippling headaches.
Then, my aunt gave me a box of Goodies and told me to take one with a small glass of room temperature water at the very first sign of a headache. IT WORKED! As long as I took it at the very first sign and was very still (moving around not an option as it upset my head/stomach anyway), the already dissolved Goodies was able to enter my system and stop the headache/migraine before the Goodies irritated my stomach and was rejected. BC powders do not work for some reason but Goodies do.
My medicine cabinet is now empty of ALL prescription drugs and the only OTC items in it are Goodies (migraines), Neosporin (cuts,abrasions) and Aleve (The BEST for occasional back pain/knee pain)

I originally purchased this medicine to help when my prescription migraine medicine wasn't enough, I have since solved the medical issues behind this problem. I continue to use this medicine for any type of tough headache and it continues to work for me. This is a good product, I am fairly sensitive and have not experienced any side effects to date, using the product for 2 years now. Give it a try, I think it will be a pleasantly surprised.

Excedrin Acetaminophen, Asprin and Caffeine, Extra Strength, 250-Count Bottles (Pack of 2) Review

Excedrin Acetaminophen, Asprin and Caffeine, Extra Strength, 250-Count Bottles (Pack of 2)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When i was a kid, i would cry myself to sleep because Advil, Aspirin, Tylenol, etc would not work. I would even sometimes throw up from the pain. I found out that my headaches came from certain foods (usually of the processed meat variety: hot dogs, lunch meat, etc) and caffeine withdrawal. I loved Mtn Dew, but if i didn't have it for a day or two i would get these crazy headaches. Now its like when Excedrin touches my lips, i can already feel my headache going away. THATS HOW GOOD IT WORKS!!! It works so good that it has trained my brain in an almost Pavlovian manner to make the headache go away before my body even digests it. OH and do not take it if you have been drinking as a hangover preventer... you are just asking for blood in your stool. Doing so can really mess up your liver just as taking Tylenol because of the acetaminophen in it. Otherwise this is seriously the best medicine PERIOD... because it works!

Homeostasis Labs Hang Over Relief, 50-Count Review

Homeostasis Labs Hang Over Relief, 50-Count
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I hate to file another wishy-washy review of this product, but I seem to be in the same camp as a lot of Amazon reviewers regarding Homeopathic Labs' Hangover Relief Tablets. Namely, this purported hangover remedy seem to work a little, though I can't totally be sure. After a few uses, I'm sort of believing that they turn a potentially heavy hangover (lots of drinking the night before) into just a light hangover. Likewise, they also seem to turn an expected light hangover (only a few drinks the night before) into a virtually free-and-clear morning experience.
But maybe it's all psychological. After all, when one takes a remedy, one expects a result. So perhaps I am imagining the benefits. I will say this: the tablets certainly don't make me feel any worse. Oh, I guess you should know that the tablets are small, pleasant tasting (sort of sweet), and easy to chew and swallow. At least that's something concrete I can tell you.
I'm sorry if this isn't the most helpful review in the world, but I honestly don't have strong feelings about this product one way or the other. Once I run out of the 50-tablet package that Amazon sent to me for review, it'll be interesting to see if I feel moved to order another supply at my own expense.

Excedrin Migraine, 250-Count Caplets (Pack of 2) Review

Excedrin Migraine,  250-Count Caplets (Pack of 2)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this product in December 2007 and received bottles with an expiration of August 2010 -- no expired or soon-to-expire product.
The previous reviewer posted his same review for every Excedrin product that Amazon carries and never posted an update. You probably would have seen an update if things were not resolved to his satisfaction.
And even if Amazon were to send you a soon-to-expire product, a simple phone call would get the problem resolved at no cost to you. By way of example, I once ordered a 12-pack of taco dinner kits from Amazon and received boxes with expirations date less than a month away. I made a quick phone call to Amazon and they offered me a refund (including shipping costs), but I opted to have them sent me a new 12 pack instead and they let me keep (or they let me dispose of, if you want to be cynical) the first batch.

Dr. Mauskop's Migralex 20 caplets Review

Dr. Mauskop's Migralex 20 caplets
Average Reviews:

I've suffered from migraines for over 20 years... I hate taking medication and I typically wait until my headache has become quite painful before I reach in the medicine cabinet. With that said, tylenol, motrin, excedrin or other over the counter medications have never worked for me. I either have to deal with the pain or take something that makes me feel groggy-- UNTIL NOW! Migralex isn't a miracle drug but it is very effective at cutting the pain down of my moderately severe headaches. I can get on with my day without falling asleep, feeling groggy or any other ill side effect that usually comes with the prescription stuff. You are still going to need a rescue medication for the worst headaches, but for a person who gets regular headaches or an occasional tension/sinus/menstrual headaches this medication is wonderful!

Excedrin Migraine Caplets, 300-Count Bottle Review

Excedrin Migraine Caplets, 300-Count Bottle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had horrible migraines since ~2003 and was treated with numerous prescription drugs that made me so sick I would miss weeks of school at a time. My old boss found out what was going on and told me to take 2 excedrin migraine and within a day I was back on my feet. I couldn't believe it was that simple after weeks of being so sick!!
Doctors recently tried again to treat me with prescription drugs (one called topamax) and it resulted in an ambulance & hospital admission, no joke! So, I stick to this. It may not be for everyone, but it works for me and I have heard the same from many others. As long as you take it when you feel your migraine coming on, it will probably take about 30 minutes to clear up. BUT, you have to take that 30 minutes to lay down, shut off bright lights & noise and just relax.
**TIP: As soon as you feel your migraine coming on, take 2 excedrin migraine with some soda (any kind that has caffeine in it). I was recently at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and they shared this tip with me...

SinuCleanse Nasal Wash System, Plastic Neti Pot With Salt Packets Review

SinuCleanse Nasal Wash System, Plastic Neti Pot With Salt Packets
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Most people reading this are bound to be curious as to what exactly this is / does. I know I was. Basically, you pour a saline solution up one nostril which (if you keep breathing through your mouth -- a mistake I made only once!) will come out of the other nostril, irrigating and cleaning it of most irritants and other things. It's very good for allergies, colds, and anything that has to do with the nasal passages.
The first time I used this, honestly, I felt like an idiot with salt water coming out of my nose. Now, after a few tries, it's second nature and relieves me of most of my sinus problems including allergies.
This is a good neti pot since it is dishwasher safe and tough to break, but you might want to consider making your own solution once the packets are used up-- just make sure you use non-iodized salt (there are good recipes for solution available on the web -- just google "neti pot solution").
Use and enjoy breathing better!
