Chronic Pain Relief Patches 

Ao Yi Pain Relief Patches

Ao Yi Pain Relief Patches (pronounced "Ow-weeee") are rooted in the centuries-old healing traditions of the Gui Zhou Miao people of China — a minority culture renowned for their sophisticated botanical medicine. These reusable herbal patches deliver concentrated plant medicine directly through the skin, targeting pain at its source or through major acupuncture points along the body’s meridian channels.

At Crawford Wellness, we recommend Ao Yi patches as a powerful, drug-free tool for patients managing chronic pain, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, arthritis, and complex chronic illness — conditions where systemic inflammation and stagnation are at the root.

Who Ao Yi Patches Are For

These patches are especially effective for those living with:

• Fibromyalgia — widespread musculoskeletal pain and tender points
• Peripheral neuropathy — nerve pain, burning, and tingling
• Arthritis & joint inflammation — osteoarthritis and rheumatoid patterns
• Chronic low back, neck, and shoulder pain
• Tendinopathy & repetitive strain injuries
• Post-surgical pain — including systemic pain relief via acupuncture points (see testimonial below)
• Autoimmune-related pain — inflammation and joint involvement
• Muscle soreness and tension from chronic fatigue or overexertion

Why Ao Yi Patches Work

Unlike conventional pain patches that rely on a single synthetic compound, Ao Yi patches contain 19 synergistic herbal ingredients that work together to move blood, dispel wind-damp, break stagnation, and strengthen the underlying tissues — addressing the root patterns of chronic pain rather than just numbing the surface.

Applied directly to a painful area or to key acupuncture points, these patches can produce both local and systemic effects — a unique advantage of TCM-based topical therapy.

Key Benefits

• Fast-acting relief — soothing effects felt within minutes of application
• Reusable & long-lasting — each patch provides up to 30 hours of total use (4 hours per session)
• All-natural ingredients — no synthetic chemicals, safe and gentle on skin
• Dual application — use directly on pain sites or on acupuncture points for systemic effect
• Portable & convenient — use at home, work, or while traveling
• Affordable — 10 reusable patches for just $39

Real World Results

“After surgery, swallowing was unbearable. Morphine barely helped. But two patches on KI1 did more for my pain than any drug. By Day 2, I used these exclusively. They work systemically, far beyond local application.”

KI1 (Yongquan) — the sole of the foot — is one of the most powerful acupuncture points for drawing excess energy downward and producing systemic pain relief.

How to Use

1. Remove the colorful sticky backing and the inner peel from the herb paste.
2. Apply the patch directly to the area of pain or to major acupuncture points on associated channels.
3. Leave on for up to 4 hours at a time.
4. Reuse the same patch as needed for a total of up to 30 hours.

Two Herbs. For Chronic Inflammation

Miraculous Results.

Aquada is a super-premium version of the classical Chinese formula Er Miao Wan — aptly nicknamed “Double Awesome Pills.” Despite containing only two ingredients, this formula is one of TCM’s most powerful tools for addressing damp heat — the pattern underlying gout, joint inflammation, fungal overgrowth, metabolic dysregulation, and the heavy, swollen discomfort that plagues those with chronic illness.

At Crawford Wellness, Aquada is recommended for patients dealing with gout, inflammatory arthritis, chronic dampness patterns, and the metabolic burden of diet, stress, and chronic infection.

Aquada for Gout — A Clinical Overview

Watch this video for a deep dive into how Er Miao Wan addresses gout and damp heat conditions:

Who Aquada Is For

Traditionally used for relief from damp heat patterns, including:

• Gout — acute and chronic uric acid accumulation causing joint pain and swelling
• Inflammatory arthritis — hot, swollen, painful joints driven by damp heat
• Fungal overgrowth & microbial imbalance — especially in those with diets high in sugar, alcohol, or processed foods
• Metabolic syndrome & blood sugar dysregulation — Berberine’s well-documented effects on glucose metabolism
• Chronic dampness & heaviness — the heavy, foggy, swollen feeling common in chronic illness
• Post-indulgence recovery — got a sweet tooth but hate the bad feelings after? Try a dose of Aquada after that slice of pie.
• Urinary tract inflammation — clears damp heat from the lower jiao
• Skin conditions driven by damp heat — eczema, weeping sores, and inflammatory skin presentations

How Aquada Works

In TCM, damp heat is a pathological accumulation of excess fluid (dampness) combined with inflammatory heat. It settles in the joints, lower body, gut, and skin — producing the swelling, pain, heaviness, and microbial imbalance seen in gout, metabolic syndrome, and chronic inflammatory conditions.

Aquada’s two ingredients work in powerful synergy:

• Huang Bai / Phellodendron Bark (30-year-old trees) — clears heat and dries dampness, especially from the lower jiao. Contains exceptionally high Berberine content — one of the most researched natural compounds for antimicrobial activity, blood sugar regulation, uric acid reduction, and anti-inflammatory effects. Berberine has been shown in multiple studies to rival pharmaceutical interventions for metabolic and inflammatory conditions.
• Cang Zhu / Red Atractylodes — high in volatile compounds that restore healthy water metabolism and eliminate the damp-type heavy discomfort that weighs the body down. Dries dampness, strengthens the spleen, and expels wind-damp from the channels and joints.

Together, they are among the most powerful substances on the planet for regulating microbial balance and clearing the damp heat that drives chronic inflammation — in a formula so simple it has been used unchanged for over a thousand years.

Research

Aquada’s ingredients are among the most studied in TCM. Key research areas include Berberine’s effects on uric acid metabolism, antimicrobial activity, blood sugar regulation, and anti-inflammatory pathways. Read the full clinical deep-dive on Aquada at Botanical Biohacking’s blog:

Rectify the Qi.
Clear the Damp. Relieve Whole-Body Pain.

Atone Tea is the super-premium Imperial Grade version of Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Tang (藿香正气汤) — meaning “Agastache Formula to Rectify the Qi.” Smooth, sweet, and genuinely delicious, this tea has been used for centuries in China as a frontline remedy for damp-type illness, and is one of the most widely recognized formulas in Chinese medicine for clearing pathological dampness from the body.

At Crawford Wellness, we recommend Atone Tea for patients with fibromyalgia, chronic viral illness, post-COVID conditions, and any presentation where damp-type heavy pain, digestive disruption, and immune vulnerability are central features.

Who Atone Tea Is For

Traditionally used for relief from:

• Fibromyalgia — damp-type whole-body heavy pain — especially flares triggered by viral infection, humidity, or dietary excess
• Post-viral illness & long COVID — clears residual damp-heat and restores healthy qi circulation
• Viral illness prevention — used extensively in China for prevention and early treatment of COVID-19 and other “damp plague” type viral diseases
• Summer flu & seasonal illness — externally contracted damp-type diseases with nausea, heaviness, and digestive upset
• Food poisoning & traveler’s diarrhea — one of China’s most trusted over-the-counter remedies for acute GI illness
• Nausea, bloating & digestive dampness — aromatically transforms damp accumulation in the middle jiao
• Preventative immune support — ideal as a summer and autumn drink to promote healthy fluid metabolism and increase resilience in high-exposure environments

Fibromyalgia Damp Pain Protocol

For fibromyalgia patients dealing with whole-body damp heavy pain, Atone Tea works powerfully in combination with:

• Aquada — clears damp heat from the joints and lower body
• Tibetan Foot Soaks — draws dampness downward and out through the feet

How Atone Tea Works

In TCM, pathological dampness is a fluid accumulation that settles in the muscles, joints, and digestive system — producing the characteristic heavy, achy, foggy feeling that fibromyalgia patients know well. When combined with heat (from viral infection, stress, or diet), it becomes damp heat — driving inflammation, immune dysregulation, and systemic pain.

Atone Tea works by:

• Aromatically transforming dampness — the volatile oils in Huo Xiang and Zi Su Ye disperse and dry pathological fluid accumulation
• Rectifying the qi — restoring the smooth downward and outward flow of qi through the lungs, stomach, and intestines
• Releasing the exterior — opening the pores to expel pathogens and damp through sweating
• Harmonizing the middle jiao — calming nausea, bloating, and digestive disruption
• Supporting immune defense — strengthening wei qi and the body’s ability to resist and clear viral pathogens

Key Ingredients & Their Healing Actions

• Huo Xiang / Agastache — the chief herb; aromatically transforms dampness, releases the exterior, harmonizes the middle jiao. Our leaf:stem ratio is ≥1:2 — far above the pharmacopeia minimum of 1:4 — delivering more leaf and more of the treasured volatile oils.
• Zi Su Ye / Perilla Leaf — releases the exterior, disperses cold, calms the fetus, relieves nausea. Top-quality purple-backed leaves sourced through direct connections — look for the beautiful purple color on the back of each leaf.
• Bai Zhi / Angelica Dahuricae — expels wind-damp, relieves pain and headache, reduces swelling
• Da Fu Pi / Areca Peel — moves qi downward, reduces abdominal distension, promotes urination to drain dampness
• Bai Zhu / Atractylodes — strengthens the spleen, dries dampness, supports digestive function
• Fu Ling / Poria — strengthens the spleen, resolves dampness, calms the mind
• Ban Xia Qu / Fermented Pinellia — unlike most HXZQ on the market using Fa Ban Xia, Botanical Biohacking uses the original Ban Xia Qu — a fermented mix of Ban Xia, ginger juice, and Shen Qu. This is the true traditional formula, more difficult to make but significantly more effective. Dries dampness, relieves nausea, harmonizes the stomach.
• Hou Po / Magnolia Bark — moves qi, dries dampness, reduces abdominal fullness and distension
• Jie Geng / Platycodon — opens the lungs, expels phlegm, directs the formula upward to the respiratory system
• Chen Pi / Aged Citrus Peel — moves qi, dries dampness, dissolves phlegm, harmonizes digestion
• Gan Cao / Licorice Root — harmonizes all herbs, tonifies spleen qi, reduces inflammation

Nerdy Highlights: Why This Formula Is Different

• Ban Xia Qu vs. Fa Ban Xia: Most HXZQ on the market uses Fa Ban Xia (processed with alum). Botanical Biohacking uses the original Ban Xia Qu — fermented Ban Xia with ginger juice and Shen Qu. More difficult to produce, but this is the true classical formula and significantly more potent for damp transformation.
• Huo Xiang leaf:stem ratio: The pharmacopeia requires a minimum leaf:stem ratio of 1:4. Most commercial products meet only this minimum. Atone Tea achieves a ratio of ≥1:2 — more leaf, more volatile oils, more aromatic damp-transforming power.
• Zi Su Ye sourcing: Top-quality Perilla leaf became extremely scarce during COVID-19 due to massive demand. Botanical Biohacking leveraged direct sourcing relationships to secure the best available — identifiable by the beautiful deep purple color on the back of each leaf.

How to Brew Atone Tea

Boil water and add 1–4 teabags. Steep covered for 10–20 minutes, strain and sip. Re-brew the same teabags several times until no flavor or aroma remains.

⚠️ Consult your licensed TCM practitioner or healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or managing a complex chronic condition with existing medications.

The all-natural botanical ingredients are potent in anti-inflammatory flavonoids, alkaloids, phenols and quinones which have been shown in multiple scientific studies to work alone or synergistic adjunct with prescription antibiotics to be more effective than antibiotic-only therapy*.
