Extra Strength Hua Tuo Medicated Patch 5 Patches Per Box (3 Boxes)

These pads are fantastic for muscle pain. There is a scent, but it is more herbal, less medicinal scent.

Sticks to skin really well, so gotta do a fast pull off! But brings so much warming relief. Been using these for a year now. Patch lasts all day and into the night.

Hi, I bought these patches & they are the best pain relief I've ever had!!Thank you,Tehani

These patches seem to work well for muscle pain or soreness.My only complaint is that any and all hair will be removed wherever you place the patch. I guess that could be a feature, instead of a flaw, depending on how you look at it.They don't seem to have the "oomph" that some other herbal patches have when you put them on at first. But, my shoulder and back knots seem to just melt away after a few hours of wearing a patch.The fabric on the patch is very thin, so I usually just peel back a corner of the backing, and place a corner of a patch against my skin before removing the backing, entirely. I had a couple of times when I completely removed the backing before trying to place on my skin, and the patch just folded in on itself.The scent is a bit different than I'm used to, as well. It reminds me of curry, a little, and makes me a bit hungry.All in all, a good herbal patch, and one that I would recommend.-1 star for the waxing salon level of hair removal

The patches work! My mother in law gave me some Chinese patches when I had an injury at work and said they will help. I was skeptical about it, but my back and my neck really hurt, and i would try anything. I put them on for 1 hour and decided to take it of because it was irritating my skin. Imagine my surprise when i discovered that my pain was gone! I used the patches on several occasions with similar results, every time being stunned about how quickly and how well they worked! When i wanted to purchase more, my mil told me that she got them from China during her trip. I decided to search online to see if I can find something similar. Well, recently my husband started having severe neck pain, which lead to tension headache.( never happened before). He had headache every day for a week around Thanksgiving. I ordered Hua Tuo brand hoping it would help. That was the closest thing i could find to what my mother in law gave me. My husband used several of the patches , and within 24 his neck pain was completely gone, and he doesn't have anymore headaches either. He still has some leftover neck tension but the pain is completely gone. I am so glad! Word of advice: don't keep the patch on longer than 2 hours at the time, especially if you have sensitive skin. Use the patch 1-2 hours, discard, and use another one after several hours if still needed.

I bought this product for shoulder pain. After just 5 patches (used over maybe 8-10 days, so not every day, not continuously), they caused a red rash! I don't have particularly sensitive skin, so this is very unusual and unexpected. I stopped using them 5 days ago, but the rash has not faded. Besides the rash, it did very little to relieve my pain. The menthol was cool and mildly soothing, but overall, I felt it did not help the pain.

I normally buy salompas for my medicated pads when I have aches & pains. My friend recommended these patches and I'm glad Amazon sells these. I can't read what the box says but I honestly don't care. They last for days. Get the medicated non-odor ones. It only smells of menthol and a soothing sensations.

Not as good as other similar products .
