Processed Aconite (Fuzi)


Provides deep, warming comfort that relaxes tense, tight areas around the knee.

Enhances overall soothing when combined with other botanicals in the patch.

Ideal for days when knees feel heavy, cold, or overworked.

Adhesion & Delivery — Borneol + Azone (Laurocapram)


Helps the patch stay put comfortably during daily wear.


Optimizes delivery of key botanicals through the skin for effective, targeted comfort.

Supports consistent, long‑lasting relief without mess or frequent reapplication.
