Hot use
A gentle and comfortable heat is recommended. If the heat seems excessive, remove the thermic product and wait a few minutes before continuing your treatment to avoid burning. CAUTION: do not overheat. The product may feel lukewarm to the touch but the heat may intensify when the thermic product is applied against the body. (See the instructions to warm up the product).
Cold use
Always place the thermic product in a “ziploc”, sealed, plastic bag before placing it in the freezer for the desired time. The product will remain flexible.( Note to Michelle. The next sentence does not make any sense to me and I can’t edit it). WARNING: count approximately 2 hours of cooling time or more before first use.
The benefits of heat on the body
Migraine
It seems that almost 90% of migraines are due to an accumulation of stress in the back of the neck. The use of the PROFIL SANTE thermic belt on this area will automatically relax the knotted muscles which can diminish or end the migraine.
Relaxation
By applying heat on one area of the body, we initially stimulate the nerve endings of the skin and muscles. Nerve impulses transmit the sensation of heat to the brain, which, in turn, signals the neighboring tissues to relax. Heat is applied to the outside but relaxation occurs inside. The result is TOTAL RELAXATION. In all cases where muscles must be relaxed, particularly in the case of cramps and spasms, the application of the PROFIL SANTE thermal belt is recommended.)
Circulation
When applying the PROFIL SANTE thermic product to an area of the body, a large blood volume is drawn to the warmed area. This increased blood presence brings a SURPLUS OF RESTORATIVE ELEMENTS. The increased number of white blood cells can assist to DESTROY VARIOUS PATHOGENS, GERMS OR NEUTRALIZE THE TOXIC AGENTS. Increased blood volume also provides a supply of nutrients that PROMOTE TISSUE REPAIR.)
*When you must have joint or spinal manipulation for rigidity or BODY ACHES, heat help before these manipulations (chiropractic and physiotherapy).
Warnings
It is very important not to place heat on 2nd and 3rd degree frostbite or on infected areas such as appendix, abscess, infected wound without first seeing the doctor. This could activate the infection and produce side effects.
Recommandations
Arthritis in its various forms, handicaps the people who suffer from it and greatly diminishes their quality of life. It is a painful disease that encourages people to turn toward treatments* of all kinds. HEAT is the basis of some medical treatments, a trend that also follows PROFIL SANTE. In addition the RHUMA cream and complex which completes this cure, contains these essential oils “SO ESSENTIAL”. They are antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, stimulating and revitalizing for vital energy.
Application to areas affected by pain :
- Apply the RHUMA cream on the painful area.
- Add several drops (5 or 6) of the RHUMA COMPLEX on the RHUMA CREAM already applied to the body and rub gently to aid penetration.
- Apply the thermic product about 30 minutes or more (hot or cold), as needed.
- Super active treatment, repeat evening and morning or more, if pain.
* The decrease of sugar and red meat in the diet can help people who suffer from arthritis.

The benefits of cold on the body
There are obviously situations in which heat is not recommended. For example, when injured we should not apply heat for the first 72 hours. Heat then would only increase the inflammation and the accumulation of liquid in the injured tissue. In general, heat should not be used as long as a region is red, swollen or hot to the touch. COLD SHOULD BE APPLIED.
The PROFIL SANTE thermic products remain soft and flexible at very low temperatures and that is why they are easy to use and are VERY COMFORTABLE.
- The application of cold can also be recommended by health professionals as a therapeutic treatment.
- It is best to cool the forehead, temples and back of the neck with the sinus mask or the PROFIL SANTE thermic belt to help reduce a high temperature (fever). However when the fever persists, it is best to consult a doctor in order to have an accurate diagnosis.
