After peeling off the plastic coating, the sticky plaster is applied to a sore area of the body. Plasters can be left on overnight. They vary in potency and stickiness. Only through experimentation can you find one that is right for you. Plasters allow you to get deep, penetrating pain relief and increased circulation without having to apply greasy or staining ointments which will rub off on your clothes or sheets.
Plasters allow more herbal ingredients to be absorbed through the skin.
To get the same effect with ointments would require regular and copious application of a thick, strong balm. Most of the plasters are heavy on the camphor and menthol, but they also contain other herb and oils, such as cayenne, wintergreen, arnica, musk, or San Qi. Plasters can be cut to any size you want. Various traditional custom plasters are also available by special order. E-mail for info .
