No Drugs, Just Nature
In the realm of pain relief, traditional patches often rely on drugs like lidocaine to numb the pain. Lidocaine, a common anesthetic, can offer temporary relief for minor aches and pains by blocking pain signals sent by the nerves to the brain—a benefit for those seeking quick, short-term relief.Â
However, this approach does nothing to solve the underlying issues of pain and healing.
On top of that, the science around the use of OTC (over-the-counter) drugs in patches is evolving. Recent literature and warnings from authoritative bodies, such as the FDA, highlight concerns about the potential long-term harm associated with high levels of topical analgesics like lidocaine. The FDA has issued warnings regarding the risks of serious burns, skin irritations, and systemic toxicity, particularly when used excessively or covered with a heat source, underscoring the importance of cautious use. For more details, see this recent article [March, 2024] article on the FDA's warning: FDA Issues Warning on Topical Analgesics.
The Role of Infrared Therapy
Infrared therapy, particularly from bioceramics in Ollos Rejuvenate Patches, promotes blood flow by gently heating the body's tissues. This heat expands blood vessels, a process known as vasodilation, which in turn increases blood circulation.Â
Enhanced circulation means that pain points and injury sites receive more of the healing compounds they require, and waste products are removed more efficiently, reducing inflammation and facilitating recovery.
