Camphor Spirit is very inexpensive and works well. Wipe it on wherever you hurt or are stiff. Decongestant and expectorant help, too.

I have not tried acupuncture, but have an appointment for it on Nov. 14. I can't wait to see if it works and if so, how well it will do for me. My appointment isn't covered by insurance because it is part of a weekend away package, but the cost was only $45. I think my insurance will cover acupuncture, but only at certain clinics...I know they cover my chiropractic work and the massage therapy that is done at the chiro office.

I did try it and it did give temporary relief, but it did require weekly visits and taking some REALLY nasty herbs they gave too.
