SalonpasPain Relief Patch - 5 Pack - Medicated Plaster for Joint & Muscle Pain

Being Asian this is a brand I’m familiar with. From my grandparents to my parents, they have used Salonpas for pain relief. I find that this is not readily available in the European market. The patches are stored in a foil pack to ensure freshness. Instructions and information are also printed on the box and the foil pack. Warning though, this May come off as really strong, depending on location where you place it, you can feel a little burning or stinging sensation before the heat/menthol settles into a more comfortable strength. In my experience it provides almost instant relief from painful/sore muscles. The smell can also be a bit overpowering, definitely not something I’d use if I am to work in the office (unless you warn your office mates of the smell). For those who wants to try a strong menthol pain relief patch, this is worth a try!

These patches are the best in pain relief for my shoulder blades.

I like to have these handy for sciatica and disc bulge. When need to be active. Work very well. They are medicated so there is a slight aroma. But it doesn’t bother me. Although it may do if you’re not fond of that sort of smell.

Very good and good value

Looking at the packaging, one ingredient seems to be omitted so as I haven't had to use them yet, can't tell if they will have the same effect.

It's efficient.

My wife swears by them

They do help but bit awkward to put on yourself
