Comments

To relieve pain, plasters have the same actions and ingredients as oils and ointments. The plasters have the advantage of diffusing the active ingredients, slowly, under the action of the heat of the skin. Their therapeutic action is more powerful than that of oils and ointments.

In my clinical experience, of all the commercial plasters, it is the most effective in relieving pain. He is very reddish. However, the feeling of heat must be pleasant, otherwise it must be removed. Let the skin breathe as long as possible to avoid irritating it between two applications. If itching, irritation, or heat rash occurs, remove the plaster and wait for the skin to heal before applying another. Be careful in using this plaster and you will be very satisfied with it.
