I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this review. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.
As most of you know, I suffer from pain every day. Some days it is off the charts and others it is just annoying. No matter what, I choose to try other pain relieving options first before I resort to my narcotic pain reliever. This is why I was thrilled when the opportunity came about to review Salonpas for my 2018 Holiday Gift Guide.
About Salonpas~
History of SALONPAS®
In the century-and-a-half since our founding, Hisamitsu has pioneered the development of patches and other topical treatments to relieve everyday aches and pains. Our SALONPAS® product line gained early acceptance in Asia and now sells in 50 countries around the world.
Although our products now enjoy international recognition, we started out as a small, family owned business in Japan. Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical was founded in the mid-19th century under the name of Komatsuya. The company went on to create a large variety of health-related products. Our company has always prided itself on its ability to create new consumer products based on Hisamitsu’s comprehensive research, development, manufacturing, and sales capabilities.
SALONPAS® brand patches were first introduced in 1934, and their outright efficacy propelled our company to the position of market leadership that we currently hold today. SALONPAS® was developed through the application of Asahi Mankinko, the prototype therapeutic patch we introduced back in 1903. The original product gained quick acceptance and was considered cutting edge technology in its day. Thanks to sustained research and input from everyday users, our products continue to evolve. Moreover, our company has expanded the culture and use of patch treatment. Hisamitsu continues to develop and refine therapeutic patches that are safe and easy to use.
Salonpas is a brand name of a line of over-the-counter (OTC) pain relieving products manufactured by Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. of Tosu City, Japan. Introduced to the Japanese market in 1934,[1] Salonpas is now sold in over fifty countries.[2] The largest markets for the products are Japan and other Asian nations.
I remember my grandmother using SalonPas many years ago. I love how they’ve expanded their range of products.
My grandma always had a stock of Salonpas patches at home. I’m glad the brand has larger patches available now.
I’ve used Salonpas and they did give relief. They’re good for sore muscles.
