Zim's Max-freeze Gel, 4-Ounce

1. I get REALLY bad headaches from time to time. I’m talking like, all over my head kind of headaches, where it feels like my head is about to explode, and I can’t figure out what kind of headache it is (for treatment purposes). The only pain medication I’m allowed to take (health reasons) is tylenol, which does nothing for these types of headaches. Food, sleep, protein, caffeine, sugar, tiger balm, heat pad, ice — nothing works to get rid of it. BUT THEN one day, I had one of these terrible headaches and I just sat on the couch with my eyes closed. My dad brought Zim’s over to me and told me to give it a try and O M G. My headache was gone within 20 minutes — and this headache had been there from morning until about 7pm. This gel was magical!!! The angels were singing!!! I just had to buy some. I couldnt wait to try it on my joint and muscle pains if it helped that much with the incurable headache!2. I have lupus and it is difficult to find relief during a flare. This gel is very similar to biofreeze, though I believe the smell in Zim’s is not quite as strong as the smell of biofreeze. The thing I love about this is it disolves fast and isnt sticky. It feels so nice on painful joints and actually offers a bit of relief! So much nicer than bengay or any other “arthritis hot” kind of creams. I actually feel better within minutes.STOP THINKING. JUST BUY IT.

A friend brought this to a meeting and let me try it. I have always been skeptical of topical rubs for arthritis pain, but this stuff really worked on my neck. I liked that it was clear unlike another similar product that is green, and less expensive than the green product. It worked so well, I bought a tube on Amazon as well as the roll-on which works within TSA guidelines in terms of size and has the added benefit of not having to touch the stuff to put it on. The other thing is it works for awhile--often, I just need to put it on once, and I am good for the rest of the day.

Has a really effective cooling. Just wished it would last longer but it has the same length of cooling as other similar products.

Excellent product. I had scoliosis surgery 9 years ago and this is one of the few gels that I can apply to my back to actually get relief when I am having back pain. Instant cooling sensation that can admittedly be a bit intense at first, but it provides great relief. Highly recommend if you're having intense body aches/pains. Test the gel out on a small area of your body first to make sure you don't have a negative reaction to it (as you would with any other skin product). If you're looking for fast, efficient relief, this is the product for you.

This product leaves the skin with a cool sensation for about 30-40 minutes. Helps with muscle strain in back or at joints. Does have that strong menthol smell and is in a clear gel form. A little goes a long way. The key to reducing inflammation is to get the cool on the area fast, for the first day. I use this product with an ice pack. Also use the acupressure matt if the back and neck are involved. There are good books that address how pain is perceived by the body. Eating sugar increases the perception of pain in the body. Read the list of ingredients and learn the purpose for them. arnica is one to learn about.

I was in a motorcycle accident 6 years ago and have 14 screws holding my right shoulder together. Ever since then, I've had shoulder, neck and head pain. Doctors treat me like a criminal every time I ask for help. My wife has doused me with a lot of different topical analgesics, but this one is by far the most effective.I was super skeptical when I first got it (mostly because it seemed very liquidity), but I've had the best few nights of sleep in years. It smells good, rubs in quickly and lasts longer than anything else I've tried.I will definitely order again! I only wish it came in a larger size!

The advertisement for this product and pictures show it is regular Zims and not extra strength but they send extra strength instead at 7% menthol which burns quite a lot. I contacted the seller and their excuse was “this is the only one we can get” and completely ignored the fact that it is not the same product they are advertising. If you want the super strong 7% that burns and even warns of skin burns on the container then this is for you otherwise turn around and go somewhere else.

Works OK. Effect does not last long. Not greasy.
