Wu Yang Brand Pain Relieving Medicated Plaster (40 Plasters per Box) (1 Box)

These plaster patches are the best I've ever tried. I cut a patch into quarters. It works 100%. I'll never use anything else. They even come in different quanites for your convinence.

The patches stay on and I find that it really helps with the pain.

These work on pain quickly and last. This is third bath I have ordered and prefer these of prescription pain meds. They do stick quite well so remove slowly or when wet in shower

I purchased these patches because the other kind I typically buy (Yunnan Baiyao) weren't available for sale at the time on Amazon. I bought these on a whim based on the other positive reviews, and just hoped for the best. For those who aren't familiar with this type of product, do know that they have a VERY potent smell. I personally don't mind it (it reminds me of my grandfather :P), but others around you WILL be able to detect it, so...this product is not for the self-conscious. I was surprised to find that each individually-packaged patch is a lot larger than I'd anticipated (3.9"x11", see enclosed photo)...it's more of a long strip than the typical rectangular patches that I'm accustomed to using. Since I have issues with my neck/shoulders, I actually cut the patch in half and used one on either side of my neck. This could be a little bothersome in those instances where I DON'T need such a large patch, because then you either have an excess amount plastered to you, or you have to cut off the excess and figure out a way to store it to keep it fresh. Other patches I've used before (namely, Salonpas) would start to peel off on their own after a couple of hours. Perhaps it's due to the larger size, but these stayed on pretty securely with minimal peeling. I used this product 2 days in a row the last time I was having neck problems. It sufficiently numbed the pain so I could continue with my day, but upon applying a fresh patch the next day (after removing the old one the night before and washing off any residue), it gave me a rash. I seem to have a tendency towards rashes with multiple days of use with these sorts of products in general, not just this one, so I wasn't surprised...I'm speculating that it's somewhat contingent upon the strength of the medicine in the product, as I consider Salonpas weaker and they don't give me a rash. I would honestly rather deal with a rash than the pain, so it's a bit of a trade-off. Hopefully I won't have so much neck pain that I'll have to go through these patches too quickly, but when I do run out, I'll probably buy another box of these if I still can't track down my familiar Yunnan Baiyao.

I have used these for many years and absolutely love them. They ate effective and smell nice if you enjoy essential oils. As a martial arts school owner, a registered nurse and a lacrosse athletic trainer I recommend. They can be irritating to younger athletes' skin so don't leave on as long ( maybe 3 or 4 hours) as you would an an older child or adult. Older kid or adult.

Updated: New package I bought now turns into a STICKY YUCKY MESS. Like they got heated in a warehouse and melted. I wanted to get my money's worth so tried using a THICK layer of petroleum jelly and then one half of these stickers on the top of my knees. They work well for my knee cap pain, but are incredibly sticky and not recommended for anyone with thin skin, allergies or any sensitivities. I can only use them on my knees any other location is going to rip off my skin for realz yo. Original: OMG ripped my skin off even with adding shea butter beforehand!!! These things are INSANELY STICKY! DO NOT RECOMMEND if you have skin allergies as well.

I have had a bad back for years and I was dealing with really painful lower back flare up for a few days when a friend gave me one of these plasters to try out. I'd used a lot of over the counter products without much relief and was very skeptical that these would work but I was desperate enough to try anything. After one application I had noticeable improvment in my pain level and mobility. I immediately ordered a box from Amazon. The patches have a very strong menthol-earthy smell. It didn't bother me or my husband I found the scent kind of comforting but if you are sensitive to smells it's something to keep in mind. The patches are large so I cut them down to the size I need. The adhesive is really strong. Once you put it on its not going anywhere and it takes a bit of scrubbing to get the adhesive off your skin but worth it for the pain relief. I can't recommend these enough!

This was recommended by my physical therapist for low back pain. This product is far more effective than Salon-Pas and other similar products commonly found in US drug stores. Almost always completely eliminate low back pain. They do have a strong odor. I have sensitive skin, and the plasters can cause irritation. I keep it on for about 3 days, by which time it will come off without causing skin irritation. But if you try to rip it off after only one night, it will hurt and cause irritation. But for me, overall, these are minor issues compared to the vastly superior pain relief.

works very well

They've changed the ingredients in this. I've bought these plasters for the lat 2 years. Since the last batch - they've changed the ingredients. The plaster now burns the skin - I've had to dump it,
