Hua Tuo Extra Strength Medicated Pain Relief Patch - 5 Patches per Box, Fast-Acting Herbal Formula for Muscle & Joint Pain - Ideal for Back Pain, Arthritis & Sports Injuries

I was skeptical on purchasing this but this product has prove it worth! Within 5 minutes after applying my ache back felt normal.I've ordered these relief pads for years but cannot use them anymore. The backing on the pad has changed for some reason. The previous 2-part removal back was easier to put on my knee.Primarily, the medication component seems to have changed so that peeling the pad off of my knee leaves adhesive on my skin that will not come off without using oil or vaseline. This did not previously happen. In addition, wearing the pad under long pants was not a problem. Now the pad tends to bunch up under the pants leg.I've very disappointed because these were wonderful before.These "plasters" or patches are ok. The Imbue Pain Relief Patches are much better in my opinion. These patches smell strong and every so slightly unpleasant. While they provide some relief, I'm not sure why they call them "Extra Strength" because they certainly don't last very long. The Imbue Pain Relief patches last much longer and work better on my neck.I tried a number of Salonpas products and this one is better than all versions of Salonpas products I tried. It has a strong herb smell and you will feel a cooling sensation right after you applied it, so I know it is working. It also stays on my body unlike some other products falling off or rolling up with slight body movement. Will buy again.Good alternative to max revive plaster-because of the price. This is a good product at a great price-pain relief all day! Just make sure you monitor your skin, got little irritation here and there (put some coconut oil on it- was fine by next day), but its nothing compared to the pain these patches were for. Helps sooooooo much! Love it!!!!!!Works well an stays on very good. I would give it 5 stars but it has a funky smell. It is more noticeable on your arms then say on your back.My aunt who is a Nurse Practitioner suggested these. They smell a bit strong, but they work! Good adhesion/ not too messy at all. Don’t forget to remove after 8-12 hours!Arrived on time and has been a huge help to me as the extremely damp weather in NYC is taking a toll on my shoulders. No rashes or marks from the stick in plaster & the warm herbs have really helped ease the aches! Thank you!! Will be ordering more!
