Aches and pains abound, dont they? Whether its a niggling sprain, a torn muscle, or a stinging bruise, they sure aint fun. The Traditional Chinese Medicine thingy is a sort of plaster or patch. The porous chinese herbal plaster can warm the pain area, the prepared herbal ingredients can penetrate into the subcutaneous tissues of the affected area to dilate the local vessels, stimulate blood circulation and relieve swelling with a marked effect in the treatment of pains arising fromrheumatism, extreme changs in temperature, over-exertion and muscular fatique.

 This product is self-adhesive and ideal for broader areas of the body like the back, shoulder, thigh, etc. and can be used together with our Herbal Cream or Herbal Spray for increased potency. It can also be cut to size for smaller areas or in strips to wrap around fingers or toes. General-purpose analgesic for treating pain and stiffness from sore muscles and joints.

 For those holding their breath, relax; there are no bad chemicals or anything horribly dangerous contained in the plasters but there are some warnings to take heed of. The adhesive for various patches has been known to cause some skin irritation for those with sensitive skin. Make sure you only use the patch only for as long as directed, to prevent any irritation. Plasters containing TCM sometimes have a slightly funky medicinal smell; Ive had friends comment on the aroma quite a few times. Thankfully, the aroma fades away after a couple hours of use.

 The main ingredients of Chinese herbal plasters are Methyl Salicylate, which is a chemical that can cause a mild cold or warm/burning sensation when used. Menthol is also used, which adds to that cooling sensation. The more basic patches, for simple pain relief of tense muscles, contain the two chemicals above as the main source along with the ingredients for the adhesive.
