Wendy Cohan RN, author of the Better Bladder Book, offers "these inexpensive self-adhesive patches can be a lifesaver. They are small, portable, lightweight and non greasy" and, we think, an essential part of your IC flare management tool kit. Wendy suggests using them before sleep to help improve your sleep quality and also for the low back pain commonly experienced by IC patients. She wrote "They work fairly quickly, within twenty minutes or so, to provide relief of pain that can last up to four or five hours."
These Tiger Balm Patches are a flexible pain relieving patch whose
ingredients penetrate the skin and are absorbed, stimulating blood
circulation around the area of pain.
