how hotpatcheswork?
Question:
Answers:
Inside the patches there are two chemicals that for the moment stabilized. When you activate the patches (either by breaking a seal or rubbing them, causing them to mix), a exothermic (heat giving) reaction takes place.
When you put the heat on the body, it causes the blood vessels to dilate (expand) which allows more blood flow to the sore area. If you've been working out a lot, causing sore muscles, you probably have a build up of lactic acid in your muscles. The increased blood flow will take away the lactic acid build up quicker.
