Ao Yi Patches (pronounced "Owie") are acupoint sized herbal patches using Miao minority medicine. They are like strong needling without the pain: Use them like you use acupuncture needles. Patients can take these home to maintain the effects of treatment. These are also amazing for telemedicine. You can ship them the patches and instruct them how to apply the patches on the acupoints of your choosing.They function in 3 stages: 1. Remove pain and open the channels. 2. Warm and spread through the collaterals. 3. Nourish and tonify yang and remove dampness.While we suggest removing them every 4 hours, you can reapply the same patch for up to three days. As the sticker stops working you can apply medical tape to keep it sticking.Ingredients & TCM Functions Latin Name Pinyin Name TCM Function Cynanchi Paniculati Radix et Rhizoma Bai Qian Resolves phlegm, relieves cough, redirects rebellious Qi downward.
