What does the far infrared sticker on the plaster box mean?
Generally, it takes 5- 10 minutes for far infrared rays to stick on the skin, which can make people feel obviously. Because far infrared ceramic powder material is a crystalline compound with dual properties of absorption and radiation, after far infrared is applied to the affected area, the skin will feel cold first and then hot; Cooling means that the far-infrared ceramic powder absorbs the heat of the skin and cools the local skin, and heating means that the far-infrared ceramic powder releases 8- 15 micron far infrared rays. After the far infrared ray penetrates the skin, the drug quickly penetrates the skin and acts on the affected part, blocking the synthesis of analgesic medium and achieving the effect of rapid analgesia.
At present, there are many stickers on the market with "far infrared" as the selling point, and the selling point is to treat a variety of diseases. In addition to cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation, some "far infrared patches" also claim to treat prostatitis and vascular diseases. Here, I want to remind you that plaster can only play a physical therapy effect, but it can't fundamentally treat diseases. When using this plaster, you should also pay attention to avoid burns.
Plaster is a kind of external traditional Chinese medicine, which was called thin ointment in ancient times. It is a gelatinous substance boiled with vegetable oil or animal oil, which can be coated on one side of cloth, paper or skin for a long time.
It is mainly used for treating boils, swelling and pain. As early as a long time ago, China medical scientists said, "Plasters can cure diseases, and there is no special decoction. If used properly, it will make a sound. "
Traditional Chinese medicine surgical plaster is a kind of compound medicine by using the principle of meridian tropism of traditional Chinese medicine and the synergistic effect of drugs to give full play to the good effects of drugs.
Because the plaster is used for thin sticking on the muscle surface, the medicine with strong smell is taken out from the plaster, so that the medicine guides a group of medicines and stagnates until it reaches the disease site. Therefore, it can penetrate into the skin to produce the effects of diminishing inflammation and relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dredging channels and collaterals, inducing resuscitation and penetrating bones, and expelling wind and cold. The plaster attached to the body surface stimulates nerve endings, dilates blood vessels through reflection, promotes local blood circulation, improves the nutrition of surrounding tissues, and achieves the purposes of detumescence, anti-inflammation and analgesia. At the same time, the drug penetrates into the subcutaneous tissue of the affected area through the skin, resulting in the relative advantage of drug concentration in the local area, thus playing a powerful pharmacological role.
Because there are some highly irritating drugs in the plaster, strong stimulation can regulate body functions, promote the formation of antibodies, and improve human immunity through nerve reflex. After the drug permeates the skin and mucosa, it enters the systemic circulation through blood vessels or lymphatic vessels, which can also produce systemic drug effects.
