A multifunctional disposable wet tissue made with a rare earth element abundant in the country as the main raw material by the Moksong external construction economic and technological cooperation company is winning popularity among users.

“Today rare earth elements are called vitamins for industry and the treasure house of new materials, attracting worldwide attention. The multifunctional disposable wet tissue made with a rare earth element is favourably commented upon at home and abroad as it ensures high recovery rate and is easy to use,” said Jo Son Ok, directress of the company.

The tissue is a multipurpose inskinned absorption agent impregnated with medicinal ingredients, without any antibiotics or special drugs. It is applied to focuses for treatment.

The tissue helps raise the blood circulation speed, accelerate cell regeneration and enhance the immunitic functions of the human body.

It is also highly resistant to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, candida and fungi, and thus ensures the recovery rates at over 85%, has no side effects and is short in treatment period as compared with other drugs.

And it has no side effects even if it is stuck to the skin for several hours.

Many people like to use the tissue as it produces amazing effects in treating a variety of diseases, including vertebral artery circular insufficiency, neurogenic arthropathy, bruises, neuralgia, lumbago, mastopathy, upper airway inflammation, bronchitis, acne, haemorrhoids, burns, frostbite, rhinitis, and aftereffect of bone fracture.

“Three months ago, I began to use antibiotic painkillers, including diclofenac sodium, to treat my right wrist that I could not use owing to neuralgia, but in vain. After sticking the tissue on the focus overnight, I did not feel the pain any longer. Now, I use the tissue whenever there is even a mild symptom,” said Son Hye Rim, a woman living in Phyongchon District of Pyongyang.

Kang Un Hui, a woman living in Central District of the city, says that after being diagnosed with vertebroarterial sclerosis three years ago, she got various kinds of treatment, but in vain and that she could get rid of the disease only after sticking four sheets of the tissue on the focus.

The tissue was highly appreciated at various festivals, exhibitions and shows last year and its developers were awarded the WIPO National Inventor Prize in 2025.
