Herbal Patches are topical preparations containing selected herbal ingredients that are applied to specific areas of the body. They may be used as part of a personalised TCM wellness approach.
The patches are applied to selected areas according to the purpose of treatment and the practitioner’s assessment. The herbs provide localised topical support while the treatment approach may be guided by TCM principles.
The application area depends on the purpose of treatment and the specific herbal patch being used. Your practitioner will identify the appropriate area and provide instructions on how long the patch should remain in place.
The recommended duration varies according to the type of patch, ingredients, application area, and individual sensitivity. Follow the instructions provided by your practitioner and do not leave the patch on longer than recommended.
This depends on the specific patch. Your practitioner will advise whether the patch should be removed before bathing or kept dry during use.
Some people may experience temporary warmth, redness, itching, or mild irritation. If you experience significant burning, swelling, blistering, or persistent irritation, remove the patch and consult your practitioner.
Inform your practitioner if you have sensitive skin, allergies, eczema, or a history of reactions to topical products. A suitability assessment or patch test may be recommended before treatment.
Some herbal ingredients and application areas may not be suitable during pregnancy. Always inform your practitioner if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding before using a Herbal Patch.
In some cases, Herbal Patches may be combined with acupuncture, moxibustion, Tuina, or other TCM treatments. Your practitioner will determine whether the combination is appropriate for you.
Most topical herbal patches are intended for single use. Follow the product-specific instructions provided by REN or your practitioner.
Suitability depends on the child’s age, the ingredients, and the intended application. Children should only use Herbal Patches under appropriate professional guidance.
