N.B. These patches make excellent bite & anti-itch patches and are exactly the same design as other popular brands but instead of paying $21.99 for 27 patches, for example, these small patches are $26.95 for 240 patches with medium & large sizes also available. The bonus is these are all skin coloured (not bright colours) and you can afford to use them liberally. Our revolutionary grid shape technology works wonders for your skin. By mechanically adjusting the skin and assisting the lymphatic system in draining insect saliva, our patches naturally relieve itchiness and help reduce swelling.
Note from Bonnie (Nutbank owner): These patches literally stop the itching instantly when you put them on. They even work on the dreaded Midge or Sandfly bites. Try them, you won't regret it!
CrossLinq® Cross Tape originated in Asia. A skin-friendly therapy treatment method utilizing gridded band-aid-like patches that are used for treating, inter alia, trigger points, pain points, acupuncture points and for stimulating meridians (energy pathways in the body). The purpose of the treatment, as with all energy treatment techniques (such as acupuncture and acupressure) is to assist the energy to flow again undisturbed and thereby stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanism. In many cases, patients express an immediate improvement in mobility and a marked reduction in pain at the application site after adhering a CrossLinq® patch.
These are ultra-thin, grid-shaped adhesive patches designed for precise placement on acupuncture points, trigger points, scar tissue and other localised areas of the body.
Manufactured in South Korea and used by practitioners around the world, CrossLinq patches provide gentle, continuous stimulation to the skin. They are commonly incorporated into acupuncture, acupressure, scar management, sports therapy, cosmetic applications and general wellbeing routines.
According to the CrossLinq method, the patches become electrostatically charged when removed from the backing paper. The skin contains thousands of receptors that continuously communicate with the body and respond to pressure, temperature and touch.
When applied to the desired location, CrossLinq provides gentle and continuous stimulation to the skin and underlying receptors. Practitioners believe this may help support the body’s natural recovery processes, encourage local circulation and promote overall balance and wellbeing.
Many users appreciate CrossLinq as a needle-free way to stimulate selected points throughout the day. Once applied, the patches are discreet, comfortable to wear and can typically remain in place for several days without interfering with normal daily activities.
