A plaster is a plaster is a plaster… not any more. Ache Free Herbal Plasters are no ordinary plasters; they're not for cuts and grazes, and they don't just cover up injuries. Ache Free Herbal Plasters are new to the UK and incorporate traditional Herbal medicine to soothe and help promote the healing of aches, pains and injuries; whether from sport, work or just everyday life.

As easy to apply as any normal plaster, Ache Free Herbal plasters are packed full of natural ingredients, which all have powerful properties to promote blood circulation and healing in the affected area and aid and facilitate the treatment of the injury.

The plasters are made using some of the oldest and strongest ingredients found in traditional herbal medicine, including Prickly Ash (Pericarpium Zanthoxyli), Japanese Teasel Root (Radix Dipsaci), Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), and Frankincense (Gummi Olibanum). These act as anti-inflammatories so can help to relieve stiff, swollen and painful joints and soft tissues. Japanese Teasel Root and Frankincense also help to promote blood circulation to the area that the plaster covers. More blood accessing the area means more nutrients and oxygen are carried to the affected site, which helps to speed up the healing process.

The plasters also contain Wild Mint Herb, which not only adds a pleasant smell to the plasters, but also a natural source of menthol, another anti-inflammatory.

The ingredients combine to create a new and affective way to treat aches and pains, whilst using traditional and natural remedies that have been used for thousands of years.

Further benefits include
*Easy to use, just peel and stick for external use
*No artificial chemical ingredients or fragrances
*Suitable for sensitive skin and have a ventilated texture to promote better skin care
