Heat Patches: Warm the body and relieve pain

For many dealing with aches, cramps, and general discomfort, heat patches provide a simple yet effective solution. Heat patches, also sometimes called warm patches, provide targeted pain relief and muscle relaxation through gentle, therapeutic warmth right where you need it most.

How Do Heat Patches Work? 

Heat patches rely on a natural process called thermotherapy. They contain ingredients that when exposed to oxygen, undergo an exothermic chemical reaction that safely and gradually emits heat. Many patches use iron powder, activated carbon, salt, and water to create this reaction when the packaging is opened.

The heat patches then release gentle warmth, raising the surface temperature of the skin and underlying tissues. This warmth increases blood flow to the area, helping tense muscles relax while soothing nerve pain receptors. The improved circulation also reduces inflammation and swelling that can worsen pain.

When and Where to Use Heat Patches

From backaches to arthritis, headaches to cramps, heat patches have a wide range of pain relief applications:

• Menstrual cramps - apply to lower abdomen/back  

• Muscle soreness - apply to stiff shoulders, legs, neck

• Arthritic joints - apply warmth directly on knees, wrists   

• Lower back pain - sticks to the lumbar area of the back

For best results, apply heat patches at the first sign of pain or tension. The increased blood flow will help stop the pain from intensifying. Continued use helps sustain circulation and comfort.

Experience Non-Medicated Pain Relief

The sustained gentle warmth can help you power through the workday or catch some sleep when pain would otherwise keep you up.

Notice： Do not apply Warm Patches directly to the skin; Supervision is needed for use with the elderly, infants, children, people with sensitive skin, and for people not fully aware of the sensation of heat.
