leaves a gummy residue that is difficult to remove

the patches are very difficult to remove. They tend to come off in little bits. I have tried to wet the patch before and it still comes off in bits. There is a strong ginger smell that others thought offensive. Due to the difficulty of removal, I haven't use it enough to see if there is any benefit to using the patches. Find something else. The gummy residue left on the skin took about a half hour to remove most of the gummy residue. It wasn't all removed at once.
