You may have seen hand warmers before. They're usually a small pouch that releases heat over a period of time. Something you can keep in your coat pocket or in your hand to fend off the cold in winter.

You won't, however, have seen Acuwarmer Functional Patches before. Acuwarmers do more than simply generate heat. Developed by the doctors at Taiwan's National Chinese Medicine University Hospital, Acuwarmer Functional Patches contain carefully formulated natural ingredients that they have been using to help with a variety of conditions.

Acuwarmer Functional Patches were developed initially as a more efficient and user friendly replacement for formulated paste plasters they had been using. The product and production processes have now been refined to a level that allows for it to be offered commercially.

Acuwarmer Functional Patches are still produced primarily for use by Taiwan's Chinese Medicine University Hospital. Only relatively low volumes are being made available for export with the majority going to Switzerland and Germany. We have, however, been able to secure a small quantity for sale in the UK.
