Patch-It: better than placebo in alleviating swelling and ache in the lower legs and feet?

It's now official, open and clinically tested, Patch It is better than placebo in alleviating swelling and aching in the lower legs and feet!  Published in the DoverPress Open Access Medical Journal, a trial was made testing the Patch It patches against another placebo.  Highlights from the study trial -  





The background of the trial: 

Existing therapeutic measures for swelling, aching and discomfort in the lower limbs, which include compression stockings and leg elevation, are difficult to use and inconvenient. Patch It®, a proprietary herbomineral patch is an easy-to-use alternative therapy. This trial was conducted to compare it's efficacy against that of a placebo in swollen and aching lower legs and feet.

Conclusion: Patch It had greater efficacy than the placebo in alleviating recurring swelling and aching in the legs and feet, and is well tolerated.
