Cold patches for ointment are a type of cold therapy product developed based on traditional cold compress methods, which can help reduce inflammation, decrease the sensitivity of nerve endings, and provide relief from pain.

1. What Are Cold Patches for Ointment?

Cold patches generally work by constricting local blood vessels, reducing local inflammation, and decreasing the sensitivity of nerve endings, thereby relieving pain, reducing fever, and relieving inflammation and abscess. Basically, cold patches can be used for any patient who requires cold therapy.

2. Where Are Cold Patches Applicable?

Cold patches can be used for various conditions affecting different parts of the body, including:

• Neck: Cervical spondylosis, cervical hyperplasia, cervical protrusion, and loss of cervical lordosis.
• Shoulder: Shoulder periarthritis, shoulder joint inflammation, and shoulder muscle strain.
• Arm: Tendonitis, tennis elbow, and rheumatic arthritis.
• Waist: Lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc protrusion, lumbar spine骨刺, postpartum low back pain, middle-aged and elderly low back and leg pain, lumbar spinal stenosis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
• Knee: Rheumatic arthritis, synovitis, meniscal injury, ligament tears or strains, and knee骨刺.
• Fractures and bone injuries: Accelerate recovery and prevent sequelae.
• Sprains and strains.

3. Therapeutic Principles of Cold Patches

Cold patches work by relieving inflammation and pain, promoting blood circulation, and removing blood stasis. When applied to the skin, they stimulate nerve endings, dilate blood vessels, and enhance local blood circulation. This creates a high concentration of medication at the site, which helps repair damaged tissues. Additionally, cold patches can regulate bodily functions, promote antibody formation, and enhance the immune system, achieving both symptomatic and curative effects.

4. Precautions During the Use of Cold Patches

While using cold patches, it is important to follow these guidelines:

• Avoid spicy, cold, and stimulating foods such as seafood, red meat, and cold beverages.
• Limit sugary foods, which can contribute to inflammation and exacerbate conditions like arthritis and synovitis.
• Wear loose, cotton, and breathable clothing.
• Avoid exposure to air conditioning or fans in summer and keep warm in winter.
• Avoid overexertion and maintaining the same posture for extended periods, which can hinder recovery.
• Remember that proper rest and recuperation are crucial for effective treatment.
