It has a cooling affect which is good for bruises or heavy impact injuries.Salonpas patches are also suitable for sprains to muscles and joints. You can apply this on the affected area after a shower. Please remember that if the area has hair then when you pull it out, the hair will come out too, so there will be some pain.
