Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 together. The main body 110 of this embodiment has a plurality of ventilation holes 114 to enhance the comfort of the affected part. Furthermore, the ventilation holes 114 are evenly distributed, so that the main body 110 can provide a more uniform ventilation effect, so as to further improve the comfort of the affected part. However, in other embodiments, the ventilation holes 114 may also be distributed in a local area of the body 110 . In addition, as shown in FIG. 3 , the diameter G of the vent holes 114 in this embodiment is, for example, between 0.1 mm and 1 mm, such as about 2 mm, but other embodiments are not limited thereto. Incidentally, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the shape of the vent hole 114 is represented by three intersecting slits L1, L2 and L3, wherein the angle between any two adjacent slits L1, L2 and L3 can be about 120 degrees, and the three slits L1, L2 and L3 can be respectively located on the convex portion 1110. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the shape of the air hole 114 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , and the relative positional relationship between the air hole 114 and the protrusion 1110 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1 .

To sum up, the energy patch of the present invention adopts a body that can be repeatedly attached to the skin, and the dressing and energy transfer material are placed in the body. Therefore, even if the energy patch is used many times, the dressing and energy transfer material can still remain in the body to continuously provide the effect of relieving the discomfort of the affected area. Based on the above, the energy patch of the present invention has the advantage of being reusable, thereby avoiding material waste. In addition, the body of the energy patch has a convex part, and the convex part can simulate the effect of local massage of muscles, so as to relieve the discomfort of the affected part more effectively. On the other hand, since the body also has structures such as air holes and recesses, it can further improve the comfort of the affected area and prevent the energy patch from falling off.
