3. Proper use
Intended use
The insect bite healer is intended for relieving itching, swelling or inflam-
mation caused by insect bites or stings through heat (local hyperthermia).
Target group
Only use the insect bite healer to treat insect bites or stings. The insect bite
healer is intended for domestic/private use only, not for commercial use.
Indication/clinical benefits
Many insect bites and stings result in painful and swollen sting and bite
marks. These bites/stings often cause severe itching. The insect bite healer
oers very eective relief for insect bites and stings through heat. The toxins
that can cause itching, swelling and inflammation are generally made up of
protein molecules. Proteins change their molecular structure when a certain
temperature limit is exceeded, and therefore often lose their eect. As a re-

6
sult, the itching subsides and your symptoms improve; it's often noted that
the area heals more comfortably.

skin alterations due to illness or scarred tissue in the application area, after
taking pain relief medication, drinking alcohol or taking drugs.

ed) skin (e.g. inflamed skin,whether painful or not, reddened skin, rashes,
