Pain Terminator by Golden Sunshine is different than most other topical analgesics. Unlike the typical counter-irritant analgesics that just mask pain symptoms, Pain Terminator formulations are based on ancient traditional Chinese herbal medicine and are therapeutic, reducing inflammation and swelling while increasing the circulation of blood and “chi” in the affected area, thus assisting the body’s natural healing processes. The Pain Terminator formula is now used in the Pain Terminator Far Infrared Analgesic Patch, making it the best choice for treating both chronic and acute indications where it’s helpful to stabilize the herbs on areas like the lower back, shoulder or joints for an extended period of time.The patch employs a special piezoelectric ingredient that, when activated by body heat, emits a therapeutic Far Infrared frequency. This helps open the pores and aides the transportation of the therapeutic herbal formulation deep into the affected tissue. The patch is self-adhesive and can be cut to size for use on smaller areas or into strips for use on fingers or toes.
