Dear Friends and Colleagues

Posted below is Ashi Pain Special Instruction for Practitioners.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

Ashi Pain relief products for chronic pain are highly potent.  As part of the healing process they generally create an initial feeling of warmth or even heat in the area of application. This is beneficial and is an important part of the healing process.  Some patients, however, may complain that it feels too hot for comfort. The normal sensation of warmth can be intensified by exposure to external heat such as by taking a hot shower or by sitting in the sun, or by the application of too much of the formulation. When you give our chronic pain

products to your patients we ask that you share the following information with them:



1)        That a feeling of heat in the area of application is normal. It is a beneficial part of the healing process.  And that they should avoid sources of external heat such as a hot shower, extended exposure to the sun, or contact with a hot object for about two hours.



2)        If they feel discomfort it can relieved rapidly by applying cold water, or sometimes by simply going into an air conditioned room.



3)        If an uncomfortably hot sensation is experienced that they should reduce the amount of the product used when they next apply it.



4)        That the discomfort will cease with regular application during the first four weeks.



Please encourage your patients to follow the above. It is important that the Ashi Pain products for chronic pain

be used consistently, as directed, for up to four weeks in order to achieve maximum pain relief. They then

should be used consistently as needed to maintain optimal relief from pain.
