Santa's Stocking is Filled with Salonpas Pain Relief Goodies! A Salonpas Review Plus a Giveaway For You!

For anyone suffering from pain, the holidays can exacerbate their symptoms with all the planning, shopping, cleaning and partying.  A stocking stuffer from Santa that is filled with Salonpas will reduce pain and may foster holiday cheer! A new, cost-effective solution for pain management awaits aching sufferers with the launch of the maximum strength, unscented Salonpas Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Gel-Patch.

“Hisamitsu, the manufacturer of the Salonpas products, sent over samples of the new Salonpas® Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Gel Patch that is now available in retail outlets,” said Dr. Bob Arnot, award-winning broadcast journalist and author.  “I tried the patch after a rigorous paddle-boarding session to address my ‘tennis elbow’ and found that the patch worked as effectively as a much stronger prescription patch.”

 “As many prescription Lidoderm® users are discovering, insurance companies are becoming less likely to cover this 5% Lidocaine patch,” says Dr. Arnot.  “Therefore, patients have seen their prescription jump from a $20 copay to upwards of $240 for 30 patches. Salonpas Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Gel Patch costs about $12.00 for a box of 6 patches, or about $60.00 for 30 patches.  It’s refreshing to hear of a pharmaceutical company looking to save you money, especially with all the bad press around prescription pricing that has happened recently.” By putting the medicine right at the site of pain, bypassing the stomach and liver, Salonpas can use less medicine to deliver an effective dose.

Salonpas features a blog, with new articles featuring world-class experts each Monday that offers expert advice on pain management, holistic living and wellness. Check it out for tips and further information!

My Thoughts:

My family and I are extremely busy during the holidays. Between shopping, seeing family and friends, cooking and baking, school and work, a day without a full schedule is rare. Hearing about the array of unique pain relief products that Salonpas offers, I was excited to give them a try. Everyone in my family has pain in some shape or form. My mom has spinal stenosis, my dad works a strenuous job, and I actually sprained my foot a couple weeks before my Salonpas product suite arrived. It was such a blessing when that box met me at the door!

My package included: A 20 pack of the Salonpas Pain Relief Patch (8-12 hours of relief), Salonpas Pain Relieving Gel Patch Hot (6 total. Each provide up to 8 hours of relief), Salonpas Lidocaine Patch (6 total and can be worn for 8 hours), a 60 pack of the Salonpas Pain Relieving Patch (can be worn for 8 hours) a Salonpas Jet Spray (4 fl oz), a travel size Jet Spray (1 fl oz), the Salonpas Pain Relief Patch with minty scent (5 patches and can be worn for 8-12 hours),and the Salonpas Deep Relieving Gel (2.75 oz. Up to 8 hours of relief).

I immediately put a Salonpas Pain Relief Patch on my foot. This product is perfect for sore muscles, sprains, backaches and joint pain. It has 3% menthol and 10% methyl salicylate. I was so impressed with how quickly I could feel relief. The Menthol could be felt within a couple minutes. The patch was big enough to cover the entire area where the sprain on my foot was. It was very simple to place and did not bunch up or fall off. You could smell the healing scent of the mint upon taking it out of the package. It was great! When I wasn't using the patch, I applied the Deep Relieving Gel. It was easy to spread and smelled great. I felt relief in about five minutes.

My mom was such a huge fan of the products as well. The holiday season is not an easy time for her back at all. She deals with pain, muscles spasms, and cramps. She used the 60 pack of the Salonpas Pain Relieving Patch quite a lot. It has 3.1% camphor, 6% menthol, and 10% methyl salicylate. The great part of these patches is you can apply more than one at a time. These are great for arthritis, strains, simple backaches, bruises, and sprains. The box shows the ideal placements of the patches for pains in the shoulders and back. These gave her fast acting and strong relief to keep going through the day.

The other patches were just as wonderful. The Salonpas Lidocaine works great for desensitizing aggravated nerves. My mom has random bouts of restless leg syndrome and this has become her go to. My dad works outdoors and during the cold conditions, the Salonpas Gel Patch Hot provided him relief and a soothing warm heat. The patch is nice and stretchy, but very strong and has a rounded corner for places like elbows. The Jet Spray is also simple to use and quick drying.

If you are looking for strong, fast acting, and powerful pain relief, Salonpas is for you! The patches are easy to apply, stretchable, and do not fall off. They immediately release medicine to the areas of focus. It also does not hurt to take them off or irritate skin. Thank you Salonpas for allowing me to review all these wonderful products that made my families holiday even more enjoyable!
