The Nutri-Naturals Family

Nutri-Naturals Formulas ... Biotone's newest massage line gives you the superior, lush moisture of Avocado Oil, vitamin-rich Carrot and Wheat Germ Oils, body-healthy Sunflower Oil and skin softening Jojoba Oil. Each effortless application of oil, creme or lotion will wrap your clients in luxurious moisture, while every glide across the skin delivers replenishing nutrients. Experience the entire line!

The Nutri-Naturals Story ... For its newest line of massage therapy products, BIOTONE went into the garden and gathered a basket full of fresh ingredients to nourish, heal, soothe and smooth the skin. Because the skin is the body's largest organ, massage is a soothing and effective way to deliver important vitamins and essential fatty acids. Nutri-Naturals Massage Creme, Massage Lotion and Massage Oil feed the skin with a superior assortment of healthy natural elements. These special ingredients include:

Avocado Oil - Nutrient dense avocados are key in the Nutri-Naturals line of massage therapy products. An excellent source of vitamins C, E, B6 and Folic Acid, Avocado Oil nourishes and softens skin while accelerating healing.

Carrot Oil and Extract - Carrots not only lend Nutri-Naturals Creme and Lotion its light vanilla color and crisp fragrance ... they infuse all three products in the line with beta-carotene, which the body turns into Vitamin A. While it is revered for its hydrating properties, Vitamin A also promotes healthy new skin cell growth, effectively turning back the clock.

Wheat Germ Oil - Nutri-Naturals is the first line of massage products to feature Wheat Germ Oil. This potent extract from the germ of the wheat kernel packs a mega dose of Vitamin E, Nature's super skin healer, hydrator and antioxidant. It aids muscle and lymph function and repairs dry and aging skin.

Sunflower Oil - From the Sunflower, Nutri-Naturals harvests an oil rich in essential fatty acids, which the body craves for proper hydrating and functioning. The clean, light texture of the oil provides a smooth base for the creme and lotion. It's an excellent overall skin nourisher.

Jojoba Oil - It was the Native Americans who first unlocked the healing secrets of the towering jojoba plant. Nestled deep inside the Jojoba seed, which looks like a large coffee bean, is a natural miracle ... the only plant oil structured just like the skin's own natural oil. That allows jojoba oil to gently penetrate the skin, slowing down the effects of aging and sun exposure while locking in moisture.*

BIOTONE strives to deliver only the freshest and most natural ingredients and is dedicated to keeping all formulas as natural as promised. BIOTONE exclusively uses pure oils, not the less expensive, genetically modified oils. That makes Nutri-Naturals the natural choice for massage professionals who demand the best. Nutri-Naturals. Naturally!

Aroma Therapy Oils

Aromatherapy is a healing practice utilizing finest subtleties and nuances. It is based on a holistic approach to healing rather than a modern scientific one. It played an important role in ancient Egypt and medieval alchemy. Today the benefits of Aromatherapy are being rediscovered. It is prudent to leave internal medication with essential oils to aromatherapists with medical training. NOTE: Essential oils should never be used on the eyes.* See More Cautionary Notes See Applications of Essential Oils

Essential Oil Applications

AROMATIC BATHS are an important and versatile application. A bath in which the appropriate oil or oils has been added can be sedative, stimulating, tonic, aphrodisiac, warming or cooling for muscular pain and skin conditions. Fill the bath with comfortably hot water, add 6 drops of essential oil and stir. Apply heat or cold?

MASSAGE combines the therapeutic power of touch with the properties of the individual oils. The skin absorbs the oils readily and when the whole body is massaged a useful amount can be taken into the bloodstream in a fairly short time. The essential oils are added to a carrier oil like almond oil, usually at 3% dilution.

MOUTHWASH works well when you mix appropriate oils and keep in a screw top bottle. Add a few drops of the oil to a tumbler of warm water and swill thoroughly around the mouth at least twice a day.

VAPORIZATION is a useful application when oil burners are used for vaporizing essential oils. A few drops of oil are added to the upper dish filled with water. The heat of a candle burning underneath slowly warms the mixture releasing aroma in a gentle stream.

INHALATION is traditionally used to ease problems of the respiratory tract. Add three or four drops to a bowl of steaming hot water. Lean over the bowl with a large towel over your head. Inhale the steam for five minutes. (Less if you suffer from asthma or allergies.)

HOT COMPRESSES are used to treat pain of chronic nature and cold compresses to treat acute pain. Fold a clean hand towel to several thicknesses and immerse in a basin of water containing 4 to 5 drops of the appropriate oil. Wring out and apply to the painful area at once. Apply heat or cold?

The Burning Issue
Apply heat? | | Apply cold?

FAQ: "When should I use heat and when should I use cold to treat
pain or injuries?

While both can be very effective, there are times when one or the
other can cause more harm than good. Therefore it is important
to know their effects and proper use.

Heat Therapy Guidelines

Heat promotes blood flow to an area and is known as a
"vasodilator", for its "opening" effect on blood vessels and
capillaries. For tight muscles which suffer from inhibited blood
flow and the associated oxygen and other nutrients a healthy
muscle needs, heat can be very helpful as long as the area is not
inflamed. Moist heat especially can decrease pain caused by sore
muscles and muscle spasms. (Do a search for "Thermophore" to
find some great moist heat products!) Heat can be applied using
gel packs heated in hot water, hot water bottles (TheraFlex makes
some nice ones), a hot, moist towel, an electric heating pad
(Thermophore) or by a hot bath, whirlpool or shower. A heating
pad that creates its own moisture (called a hydrocollator) is an
easy way to apply moist heat. Paraffin wax treatments are also
great ways to treat stressed or arthritic joints.

Take care not to burn or damage the skin. Use extra caution
if diabetic.

Place a soft towel or cloth between the heating pad and the skin.

Use the heating pad for an hour or less at a time.

Set the heating pad no higher than the medium (M) setting.

Take care when using a heating pad if you are taking medicines
that make you sleepy or if the area being treated is numb.

Remove the heating pad before going to sleep.

Limit the heat therapy to ten or fifteen minutes at a time. Try
ten minutes every one to two hours.

Wait at least twenty-four hours before applying heat to skin that
has been bruised, cut or used for an injection or subjected to
any "invasive" procedure. (Heat can increase bleeding.)

If the area is sore from overuse or inflamed, use Cold, NOT Heat!

Cold Therapy Guidelines

Cold can reduce muscle spasms that come from joint problems or
irritated nerves. Cold is the main treatment for pain caused by
inflamed tissues and other swelling. Cold can stop the urge to scratch
an itch. For the first line of treatment after a bruise or muscle strain,
ice should be the first choice.

Plastic-sealed gel packs provide an easy way to apply cold to a painful
body part. Wrap the pack with a layer of soft cloth or even a paper
towel so that it is comfortable next to the skin. Keep the pack in place
by wrapping it around the body part with a 6 inch elastic bandage,
(or find a handy compression wrap that does this for you). They are
reusable and can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer when not being
used. Follow these guidelines when using cold treatments.

If the skin becomes irritated or pain increases, stop using the cold
therapy and notify a health care provider.

Limit the cold therapy to ten or fifteen minutes, make sure to be
careful around bony areas, as skin can freeze rapidly in these areas.

Avoid use of cold over an area where circulation is poor or where
there is numbness.

If the cold causes shivers, stop the treatment right away.
Do not use cold so extreme that it causes pain.
