Interesting that Eastern medicine can make it into the pool.
Acupuncture is a centuries-old art/science not involving drugs which has proven effective for pain relief, etc. Acupressure (putting pressure on specific points, not needles) can have similar effects. I have used acupuncture and acupressure patches for seasickness (long swims) and ADD and had good results. Personal testimony aside, Richard Quick has always been something of an innovator and, as someone else mentioned, he would not use the patches if they were not OK.
