Chronic Pain Patch with healing properties

This is a warming pain patch more suitable for chronic pain and injuries. I like the combinations of herbs in this formula for chronic neck pain.

Chronic pain begins about 3-4 weeks after an initial injury and consists of residual pain and stiffness. This pain patch is especially useful when there is impaired circulation and the area is sensitive to cold and/or cold to the touch. Similarly, the chronic pain patch is appropriate for chronic injuries that ache in cold, damp weather. It should not be used while inflammation, heat and redness remain.

During the acute stage where inflammation and swelling are present, use the Pain Patch along with Muscle and Joint Injury Pills to speed up healing in hopes to avoid chronic pain. Once the inflammation and swelling are gone, the chronic pain patches can be used to strongly stimulate circulation for further healing.
