“Wake up with a spring in your step” Patch-It now!
Patch-It is your portable reflexology patch or “Spa-in-a-Patch”. It’s great for muscle discomfort and whenever you are feeling tired and stressed and need a good night’s rest. Patch-It is conveniently packed with a “tear and wear” design that contains a bag of powdered ingredients. The product combines ideas on reflexology, natural cleansing, traditional Chinese medicine, far infrared, use of poultices, crystal therapy and essential oils.
The concept of stimulating acupuncture points at the base of the feet, for example through foot reflexology massage, is well established. Stimulation of points along such meridians (an ancient Chinese concept) by use of needles or massage will in turn generate stimulus in other organs or body functions that are related to that meridian.
Patch-It utilizes the far infrared (FIR) effect of certain materials to generate that stimulus. FIR has been researched for many years in relation to a wide variety of conditions such as muscle sprains, strains, peripheral vascular diseases, arthritis, shoulder stiffness, period pains etc. Many “functional fabrics” are now used in garments that also rely on FIR for improving circulation. The FIR effect may even help with people confined to a wheelchair and are therefore unable to exercise in the conventional way. |
