How do you see increased circulation?
Is it the Nano technology in the patches that is increasing this circulation?

Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!! | After every run we put sore no more clay on. My horses will literally stop what they are doing and stand stock still when that goes on them. Heads go down, the works. That is good enough for me to know that feels good for them. Most o fthe time we are not overnighting anywhere so the clay is all they get with sore no more on their backs.
If they are going into a stall I put sore no more liniment on and wrap with no bows. Sore no more on their backs too.
My one mare does well with PHT stuff so she will stand at the trailer with the halter piece on. Right now she is on the injured reserve list and while she is in her stall she has the PHT on 24/7, including the 3n1. When she is hauled she does so.
My one mare doesn't respond well to PHT and we will be buying her Back on Track this year for Christmas. She would also be living in that on the road. |

Location: Great NW | She asked and I told her what has worked for me. I do not make my horses wear HOT bandages unless they absolutely have to. I do not use products that burn them either. After years with very few leg injuries or problems I would say it works. My opinion. A year ago I began using the patches too and I have had good results with them. The technology has worked for me and my horses. |

Are you aware that Witch Hazel is an astringent and if anything reduces circulation?
Also, I see you are a dealer for the Magic Patch, so tell me how it works. I may want to get in on some of this.

My website is posted.
That is the acculife web site not yours.
And I have read it, I am curious about one thing though. The very first article contradicts everything that the salesmen(that's you) have told me about these patches and about the way they work. I can almost believe that the bead may in fact have some slight impact on the acupressure points. But I have been told time and again that the beads are not needed. So if that is the case why not just stick some tape on and rock on instead of paying $100 plus bucks for a pack of tape and some beads that you are supposed to throw away?
Oh, and you didn't answer my question about the witch hazel.

Location: Great NW | I haven't said anything about how they work. so how could I contradict myself. My mixture has worked for years. I do not need to explain it to you. And 1 question for you~ what did I ever do to you? you always call me out on anything I post - why is that - I post my opinion and what has worked for me. I do not insist anyone use the stuff - I do NOT insinuate that I am a vet. so what exactly is the problem here. I do not pay to advertise on this site so I do not push products here. I come here for information and commadrie - not to be bullied.
Witch hazel is known for its Anti-inflamatory propertis and it known for shrinking blood vessels (hence its use in preparation H. The Apple cider vinegar - detox and balances the PH h . My mixture bythe way is: 1/2 water, 1/4 witch hazel, 1/4 ACV. spray it on, rub a bit and done.

I just asked you how it worked.
You claimed it increased circulation and I asked how it could possibly do that.
By nature if something is constricted(your words not mine) then flow can not be increased.
Also I have been told by numerous acculife sales people that the beads were not necessary and to just throw them away.
The very first article that you directed me to read claims that the therapeutic value comes from the accupressure of the beads.
I have nothing against you and I am in no way "bullying" you. You made claims to as to the efficacy of a product and I asked you to quantify or defend your claim.
