Traditional Chinese medicine external application

Traditional Chinese Medicine External Application Patches | Pain Relief, Office Essential | Shangyitang

Redefining topical physiotherapy

You're probably familiar with the problems caused by traditional ointments.

External application of traditional Chinese medicine is a traditional method for treating pain in traditional Chinese medicine, carrying hundreds of years of clinical wisdom. However, many people often suffer from many "side effects" when using traditional ointments—skin feels hot and stuffy, the odor is strong and difficult to dissipate, hair is pulled and even red marks are left when peeling them off, not to mention the embarrassment of the residue sticking to clothing.

For those of you who need to work in the office for long hours, these inconveniences are enough to deter you. So, you have to endure stiff neck and shoulders, and put aside back pain until the problems increasingly affect your work efficiency and quality of life.

"At Shangyitang, we believe there are definitely better options."

We will inherit the century-old wisdom of Lingnan herbal medicine and combine it with modern materials science to create a new generation of herbal patches—a refreshing, comfortable, and highly effective modern pain relief solution.

Formula traceability

Lingnan Herbal Heritage: Pain Relief Formulas Specifically Designed for Hot and Humid Climates

Our formula originates from Lingnan, China. The climate of Lingnan is hot and humid, very similar to Hong Kong. Generations of Lingnan physicians have accumulated rich experience in bone setting and traumatology, especially in the use of specific herbal medicines to treat common bone and joint pain caused by damp-heat constitutions and environmental conditions, forming a unique and highly effective external treatment system. This clinical wisdom passed down through generations is the soul of our topical product formula.

Dispel wind and dampness

This product is designed to address aches, pains, and numbness that occur due to high humidity and weather changes. In Hong Kong's humid environment, these herbal ingredients can effectively relieve muscle and bone discomfort caused by dampness invading the body.

Promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis

It improves blood circulation and relieves stinging and swelling caused by falls, injuries, or long-term strain. The blood-activating herbs help to move stagnant blood and qi, accelerating the body's natural repair process.

Warming the meridians and promoting blood circulation

It warms and unblocks the meridians, dispels cold and relieves pain, and is especially effective in relieving joint stiffness and muscle tension. When the meridians are unblocked and the flow of qi and blood is smooth, pain can be relieved from the root.

This unique herbal wisdom is particularly well-suited to Hong Kong's environment and the constitution of urban dwellers.

The founder's craftsmanship

The culmination of forty years of clinical experience: Dr. Zhang Yong's persistence

Our founder, Dr. Zhang Yong, has been using Lingnan herbs to help patients manage various pain conditions for over forty years. From applying medicine and setting bones for patients in his early years in the clinic to witnessing countless patients regain a comfortable life through external herbal therapy, he deeply understands the value of this method.

However, he also saw the limitations of traditional dosage forms. He has always hoped to transform this clinical essence into a product form that is both efficient and convenient—to take it out of the clinic and make it an essential health "gatekeeper" for every family and office.

This commitment is the origin of our flagship topical product line – presenting our clinically proven formulas, validated over forty years, to every user using the most modern technology.
