Everyone has aches and pains at some point in the life or day! This spring, you may be doing extra work outside- planting flowers, landscaping, raking leaves. It’s inevitable that you’ll have some aches and pains after using muscles you haven’t used for months. You don’t need to get a prescription to get pain relief- you need to try Salonpas! The pain patches are one of the only things that help relieve my back pain after a long day at work. You can get direct pain relief right to the area of pain without taking any pills.
About SALONPAS®
SALONPAS® Pain Relief Patch is the first and only FDA-approved over-the-counter pain relief patch.
With topical analgesics recommended as the first-line of treatment by physicians in much of the world, it’s time for the United States to follow suit. The Centers for Disease Control recently started guiding physicians to consider topicals as “alternative, first line” treatment for pain, “thought to be safer than systemic medications” with “lidocaine for neuropathic pain, topical NSAIDs for localized osteoarthritis, topical capsaicin for musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain.”
I was sent a great variety of products! You can find them all on Salonpas HERE.
Salonpas Pain Relief Patch LARGE is the only OTC pain reliever labeled to relieve mild to tougher, moderate pain. Now, this long-lasting patch is double the size and comes in a 9-count Value Pack. Salonpas Pain Relief Patch LARGE contains two powerful pain fighting ingredients, menthol and methyl salicylate (an NSAID – a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug). These are the patches I use the most. They come in a smaller size as well.
Salonpas Hot provides heat for effective pain relief for up to 8 hours, natural and odor-free with the active ingredient being capsaicin, the compound found in chili peppers. I normally like heat on my achy back, but this patch really turns UP the HEAT! Be prepared!!

Salonpas® DEEP Relieving Gel contains three active ingredients, camphor (3.1%), menthol (10%), and methyl salicylate (15%), that penetrate deep, providing effective relief for up to 8 hours. It’s an easy-to-use topical analgesic, in a clear, non-greasy gel that starts working on contact. This is my go-to cream when I get up with a back ache.
My Thoughts:
As someone who suffers from chronic low back pain, I am always looking for alternative forms of pain relief. I have used Lidocaine patches in the past with good results, but I always had to have a prescription for it. With Salonpas, you can get the Lidocaine patches and all the other pain patches at your local drug store or Walmart.
Normally, when you take pain relief, it has to go through your whole body. With Salonpas, the pain relief is absorbed through your skin directly to the site of pain. That’s a great benefit to using Salonpas products over pills.
My hubby broke his ankle last year- it involved 2 surgeries and lots of pins and plates. It will never be the same. He has found relief with the creams and patches that Salonpas makes. He can’t decide which one is his favorite!
