Relieves foot pain
I read a lot of reviews on these and other foot pads before purchasing them. I am always interested in reviews because there is such a large difference of opinion from "fantastic to a waste of money. Because there was no clear-cut review, I decided that the best way to know if they work was to try them myself. It amazed me that some of the reasons users gave these pads a negative review seemed a little ridiculous to me.  Turns black when placed in water, made in China (I guess that they could not find bamboo and ginger in Ohio), ingredient packet wasn't attached to the adhesive (you have to place it there yourself) , no scientific evidence that says they work (also none that says they don't ). I have spent a lot of time in the Far East and am somewhat familiar with Far Eastern medicine and most of that medicine that has been curing people for thousands of years is not scientifically tested. So, I tried these pads. First, let me say that I suffer from arthritis in my feet, ankles and shoulder. On first getting up in the morning, it is difficult to walk without holding on to something for support because of the pain. I tried these pads and received immediate relief from that pain, I kind of wondered if the pain was actually relieved or if it was all just in my mind? I used them for 5 nights. No problems with the pads but I did notice that the color was not changing. I decided to stop using them to see what would happen. The next morning the pain was back again.  I again put them on and again was pain free the next morning. I really don't care what other people say about these or if they are not scientifically approved. All I know is that my pain is gone. And if it is that this is all psychological, who cares! I don' hurt!
