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.

This item never arrived with my shipment . Other than that it's always been a good product.

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!

I’ve been using these for years! They’ve changed the patches and I have to say I like the smaller patches but do miss the longer ones they use to make. The color is different too and I feel the original patches worked better (faster). However, I am still a fan as I am not one who takes any type of pain meds. I get a piriformis/sciatic flare up here and there and I usually can’t sleep the first night but since I found these, they will calm it right down and I can get some sleep!!!

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,
