Tiger patches - general advantages, method of use
Tiger patches are a simple and affordable product - the patches are used as supportive therapy to relieve pain, especially in muscles, joints, on the back, and everywhere else, except for the mucous membranes.
Tiger patches are usually made of a thick, elastic material to quickly adapt to body contours and adhere firmly to the skin's surface. They also contain natural ingredients that help improve general mobility and are used as supportive therapy in pain treatment.
The medicinal substances in tiger patches that work synergistically are mainly the following:
- Camphor - tiger patches contain camphor, an essential oil extracted from bay leaves. Research has found that camphor in patches can be an excellent emollient that works effectively as a supportive therapy to relieve pain and swelling. Therefore, Camphor is often used, especially in products related to rheumatism, arthritis, and even menstrual pain.
- menthol
- capsicum extract - this type of extract is very often used in plasters as a supportive therapy for pain relief. Patches with capsicum extract enable local heating of the skin surface, which can help reduce pain and inflammation. Namely, the extract works by absorbing (capsaicin) through the skin and acting locally on the pain sensation. A common effect of this extract is a heating effect; with more frequent use, the effect is seen as redness on the skin's surface, which proves the presence of capsaicin and the effectiveness of the product containing capsaicin.
Benefits of tiger patches
The advantages of tiger patches are as follows:
- easy to use and fast acting
- suitable supportive therapy for pain relief
- available in various sizes and shapes
- they are light and do not hinder movement.
The disadvantages of tiger patches are that. Unfortunately, no solid evidence exists that the patches are adequate for permanently treating the pain associated with various severe medical conditions. Although they can effectively relieve mild pain, it is essential to consult your physician before use.
How to use
Using tiger patches is quite simple. Before use, clean and thoroughly dry the area where you want to apply the patch. Then attach the patch to the affected area. Sticking the Tiger patch on a specific painful spot for 8 to 12 hours makes sense to guarantee its effectiveness.
After removing the patch, it makes sense to clean the area thoroughly, apply a new patch if necessary, and in case you do not apply a new patch, it makes sense to smear the area with cream: Namman Muay.
When to use tiger patches?
Tiger plasters can be used as supportive therapy to relieve pain in muscles and joints, mainly located: on the back, neck, legs, and shoulders.
They are also often used in combination with pain relievers in connection with injuries such as neck, shoulder, and arm injuries.
Tiger patches are, therefore, usually advised as part of supportive therapy for mild pain.
Notes and warnings
Before using tiger patches, it is recommended that you consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The doctor can check the type of your pain and find out if the patches suit your disease or if using another treatment method, such as drug therapy, physiotherapy, or special exercises, might make sense.
Conclusion
Tiger Patches are a practical, affordable, and simple, supportive therapy option for pain relief, but it is wise to consult your physician regarding effectiveness.
