During the 2020 lockdown when acupuncturist Ross J. Barr was unable to treat patients in-person, he created these biodegradable patches that work—through aroma therapy as well as through transdermal placement on acupuncture points—to quickly help reduce sleeplessness, anxiety, and pain. Each formula in this set features different targeted botanicals and herbs that, when applied to a particular area, have multiple therapeutic effects.
- Healing Patches help ease inflammation and every day muscle soreness and aches including menstrual cramps and pain—by moving blood and chi stagnation to promote healing
- Calm Patches, made with calming Chuan-xiong, soothing and anti-inflammatory Safflower, and traditional Chinese medicine ingredient for aches and pains, Asarum, help alleviate stress headaches and tension, ease agitation and frustration, and support concentration and focus. An immediate calming effect is felt thanks to the unique scent created by the combination of white peony and peach that elicits a deeply relaxing olfactive experience
- Sleep Patches employ wild jujube seed, coix seed, and polygala to help calm the mind and help induce sleep
