Limitations of Traditional Hyperthermia: Troubles behind pain relief.
1. Moxibustion: smoke and dust and operation threshold
Smoke from the burning of moxa sticks may irritate the respiratory tract and limit indoor use;
It is necessary for professionals to operate acupuncture points, and self-application of moxibustion is easy to burn (according to statistics, 30% of home moxibustion users have red and swollen skin due to improper operation).
2. Salt/ginger therapy: time-consuming and difficult to control temperature
It needs to be heated in a microwave oven or wok, and repeatedly heated after cooling, and the use process is cumbersome;
The temperature fluctuates greatly (50-70°C), which is easy to cause low-temperature burns.
Technological evolution of heat patch: three major innovations to solve traditional pain points
1. No need for ignition, heating, just tear open the package and apply it, the temperature time is less than 15 minutes, no alternative energy is required, it is light to carry, and can be used in office, business trips, and sports scenes
2. Using oxidation self-heating technology, the temperature setting meets the human safety threshold, and the heat lasts for 8-12 hours
3. Zero smoke, no pharmaceutical ingredients, no odor, suitable for offices, cars and other confined spaces
How does the heat patch inherit the essence of heat therapy?
1. Fit to specific parts, accurately transfer heat to the local area, and promote blood circulation
2. Winter sports protection: skiers attach to the waist to prevent muscle stiffness caused by cold and dampness
3. Women’s menstrual care: compared with traditional hot water bottles, the period pain patch can be invisibly attached to the clothing and skin for pain relief.
From the fireworks of moxibustion to the lightness and invisibility of heat patches, the evolutionary history of hyperthermia is the perfect combination of technology and health needs. The self-heating medical patch not only solves the pain points of traditional methods, but also allows the wisdom of oriental heat therapy to enter modern life in a safer and more inclusive way.
