01. Limited effect

Pain relief patches mostly act on the local area, have their own indications and pharmacological effects, and cannot be "universal" at will. Moreover, the pain relief patch is mostly not a treatment for the cause of the disease, but can only be used to relieve symptoms such as pain. Once the condition is found to be aggravated after use, you should go to the hospital in time.

02. The ingredients are taboo

All pain relief patches containing musk, frankincense, safflower, peach kernel and other blood-activating ingredients should be banned by pregnant women. Especially the umbilical area, abdomen, and lumbosacral area of pregnant women should not be affixed with pain relief patches, so as not to cause miscarriage due to local stimulation. Young children should also choose pain relief patch under the guidance of a doctor.

03. It should not be used in the acute stage

In the acute stage of muscle contusion or joint and ligament strain, do not apply Shangshi Pain Relief Ointment or Musk Zhuifeng Ointment to the injured part immediately. This kind of pain relief patch has the function of promoting blood circulation. If it is applied immediately after the injury, it will not only fail to achieve the purpose of reducing swelling and relieving pain, but may also aggravate the congestion.

04. Don't be superstitious about "far infrared stickers"

There are still many plasters on the market that use "far infrared" as their selling point, and are selling them to treat various diseases. In addition to cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation, some "far infrared stickers" also claim to be able to treat prostatitis and vascular diseases.

I would like to remind everyone that the "far-infrared patch" plaster can only have a physical therapy effect, but cannot treat the disease fundamentally. When using this kind of pain relief patch, you should also pay attention to avoiding burns.

05. Choose the right part and time

Generally speaking, the pain relief patch needs to be pasted on the symptomatic area, but some pain relief patches must be pasted on specific parts. Under the umbilical cord in the lower abdomen.

In addition to removing poison ointment, it should not be applied when the affected area is red, swollen or festered, so as to avoid suppurative infection.

Before applying the pain relief patch, dry the skin on the affected area or acupoints with a hot towel or ginger slices. The pain relief patch needs to be replaced after a day and a night.

If you find local redness, swelling, itching or other allergic symptoms after pasting, you should stop using it in time and see a doctor if necessary.
