General
Questions
Question: Golden Sunshine’s
pain relief products come in patch, cream, spray and paste forms. Are
these the same formulas?
Answer: No. Each product
is a separate formulation for different applications. The Herbal
Paste is the strongest formulation and is ideal for traumatic
injuries where deep penetration into the tissue is desired. Our Herbal
Cream is ideal for chronic indications such as arthritis
and is easily applied to the joints. Herbal
Spray is convenient for application in sports injuries either
before, during or after a strenuous workout. The Herbal Soothing
Patch is great for application to broad areas like the back, thighs or torso
and offers long-lasting relief. Our Herbal Patch can be used along with
Herbal Cream or Herbal
Spray to obtain maximum benefit.
Question: Golden Sunshine has some unique new pain relief
products incorporating Far Infrared. How is this accomplished and why
are these products better?
Answer: Golden Sunshine
is employing state-of-the-art technology in its Far Infrared products,
the first of which is our new Far
Infrared Herbal Patch. These products use a proprietary manufacturing
process to incorporate a piezoelectric ingredient that emits a Far Infrared
frequency when activated by body heat. Far Infrared frequencies have been
known to have therapeutic properties and have been used in heat lamps,
saunas and other products to enhance their healing effects. Now, this
exciting new technology is available with our Chinese herbal formulas.
Watch for new product offerings soon.
Herbal Patch Questions
Question: Your Herbal Soothing
Patch smells a lot like Tiger Balm or Ben Gay. Is it the same?
Answer: No. Golden Sunshine
USA, Inc.’s proprietary Herbal
Soothing Patch is a unique formulation based upon thousands
of years of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Tiger Balm and Ben Gay
are consumer products whereas Herbal Soothing Patch is formulated to
the
needs of healthcare practitioners.
Many products, including ours use menthol to provide a cooling effect.
However, including Chinese herbal formulas helps provide long
term relief and those used by Golden Sunshine are thousands of years
old
and proven
efficacious.
While many companies use menthol as their primary ingredient, Golden
Sunshine
products use less menthol and more Chinese herbs.
Question: Peeling the patch off is sometimes difficult,
especially on tender areas. Is there a way to alleviate this problem?
Answer: Yes. The patches’
ingredients are water soluble. If you wet the patch prior to removing,
it will be much easier. Some find it easier to remove the patches while
bathing or showering.
Question: Can the patch be cut into different sizes and
shapes?
Answer: Yes. While for broader
areas of the body like the back, shoulder or thigh, a larger size gives
better results, for smaller areas like fingers or joints, the Herbal
Soothing Patch can be cut to conform to the area. Keep in
mind that the more contact you can make with the affected area, the better
the results.
Question: I have sensitive skin. Is there any way to
prevent skin rash while using the Herbal Soothing Patch?
Answer: Yes. While the Herbal
Soothing Patch is one of our most efficacious products, if
your skin is sensitive or a rash persists, our Herbal
Cream is probably the best solution for you. The patch concentrates
the ingredients on the affected area and while the patch allows
the skin to breath to an extent, the Herbal
Cream allows far more freedom in the case of sensitive skin
or those who are prone to skin rash from this type of product. Both the
Herbal Soothing Patch
and the Herbal Cream
provide long lasting relief.
Herbal Cream Questions
Question: Sometimes
there’s some oil coming out of the Herbal Cream. Is this normal
and is there anything special about the oil?
Answer: Yes. This is quite
normal as we use some natural oils in our Herbal
Cream to moisturize and soften the skin while allowing
the herbal ingredients to penetrate deeply and last longer. To avoid
the oils
from separating from the cream, be sure to avoid temperature extremes.
Room temperature of about 65 degrees F is ideal. You can stir the
oil
back into the cream or just massage it into the skin during application.
Question: What is the best method of applying your Herbal
Cream for maximum results?
Answer: For optimum effect,
apply the Herbal Cream
to the affected area and massage it in for about 10 minutes until it
absorbs in and dries. Then, apply the Herbal
Soothing Patch.
The Herbal Soothing
Patch
should be removed after around 8 hours to let the skin breath for a few
hours before applying another Herbal
Soothing Patch. It is not recommended to wear the patch
longer than 8 hours.
