Cross Tapes
Acupuncture without needles: grid paves promise pain relief
They come from Asian space and are used to treat complaints: Cross Tapes are based on the principle of acupuncture and can be applied themselves.
Regardless of whether hardened muscles or joint pain, tension in the head, shoulder and neck area or circulatory problems: cuisine should provide relief in the event of complaints of any kind- without medication or other active ingredients. But how exactly does it work? According to the manufacturer, the self-adhesive cross tapes are simply glued to certain pain, acupuncture or trigger points. Since the rigid grid plasters are not elastic, they cannot stretch with the skin. When the affected area is moved, there are microscopic skin shifts. This in turn triggered minimal stimuli that drive the natural self -healing process of our body.
Before you start using the acupuncture plaster, however, you should still consider a few points. You can find out which these are as follows.
How do grid paves differ?
The grid -shaped are made from a resistant, water -repellent and breathable material – such as polyester or polyurethane. There is a skin-friendly acrylic adhesive on the back, so that the acupuncture plaster sticks on the skin for several days. Even if you take a shower, swim or swim. They are available in different colors and sizes that are suitable for different body regions.
- Size A It is particularly intended for children, but can also be used in adults in the area of face.
- Size B is used for the treatment of blue spots in larger children as well as for inflamed body regions or joints. For adults, on the other hand, they are suitable everywhere on the body except on the face (size A) and on the joints (size C).
- Size C should provide relief in adults with muscle problems, joint and back problems.
Tip: There are also special cross tapes that too should help. Here too without the use of medication and pharmaceutical active ingredients.

Who are Cross Tapes not suitable for?
Even if the grid paves should have pain relieving and anti -inflammatory properties, they are still not suitable for everyone. To date, there are still no clinical tests, but the cross tape can cause unwanted skin reactions.
In this case, the pavement should be removed immediately and the affected area should be cleaned. People with skin problems should completely keep their fingers away. The same applies to those who quickly tend to hematoma.
You should also know that the grid paves cannot always help with complaints that last longer. It is always worth a try, but you should see a doctor if the pain does not leave for a long time. Above all, even if you have open wounds or vacancies on the body – the cross tapes must never be used here. This also applies to pregnant women: around the navel around the navel and on the lower leg, the grid paves may trigger blow!
