Indications (Uses)
This product uses magnetic force for the following effects:
- Relief of stiffness in the applied area.
- Improvement of blood circulation.
- Direct action on stubborn knots in the shoulders, neck, back, and even the soles of the feet.
Directions (Usage & Application)
- Finding the Spot: Press with your finger. Where it feels “a little painful but good,” that is your pressure point (stiffness point).
- How to Apply: Apply the patch directly to the point of stiffness. Applying a few around the area is even more effective.
- Duration: It is recommended to leave them on for 2 to 5 days.
- Bathing: You can bathe or shower while wearing them. Since they use permanent magnets, the effect continues as long as they are attached.
- Preparation: If you are sweating or the area is wet, wipe it dry before applying the patch.
【Note】 The adhesive is breathable and skin-friendly, but do not apply to the exact same spot repeatedly. Shift the position slightly when replacing.
Safety Warnings (Please Read)
- 【WARNING】DO NOT USE: People using internal medical electronic devices such as cardiac pacemakers or ventriculoperitoneal shunts (for cerebrospinal fluid) must NOT use this product, as it may cause the device to malfunction.
- Consult a Doctor: If you have malignant tumors, heart disease, are in the early stages of pregnancy, or have sensory disturbances due to diabetes, consult a doctor before use.
- Magnetic Interference: Keep away from items affected by magnetism, such as watches, magnetic cards (credit cards), and electronic media, as it may corrupt data.
- Prevent Accidental Swallowing: Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
- Skin Irritation: Do not use on irritated skin. If you experience itching or pain, remove the patch immediately.
- No Combined Use: Do not use in combination with other therapeutic devices.
