How to prevent windburn
Windburn is actually a drying effect of the skin. The skin has lost it’s oils as a result of exposure the the wind and dryness in the air. Much like sunburn. To prevent this from happening as much as you can figure out how to keep the natural oils and moisture in your skin. If you wash or shave just before going out when it is well below freezing then you have that much less protection. Either keep the skin covered or put something on the skin that helps prevent loss of moisture. Some moisturizers can do this and sometimes something as simple as coating your skin with petroleum jelly will do the trick.
As with sunburn, if you can keep the skin hydrated so that it doesn’t burn and can do this more naturally, then you end up having to use more chemicals such as those in sunscreens and sunblocks.
Treatment for Mosquito Bite itch
Here are a couple of ideas for a mosquito bite itch:
Baking soda and water mixed together into a paste applied to the bite should relieve the itching very quickly.
Let a tea bag steep for a few minutes in hot water then apply to the area of the bite.
A dab of honey(pure, raw honey preferably).
Mom used to use a dab of spit – that worked sometimes…
Good luck.
How to treat a burn with honey.
First thing you want to do with a burn is cool the area so that it does not continue to ‘cook’. Use cold water – do not use ice to freeze the area. With a very light burn one could use a cloth cooled with water but for a more sever burn just use cool running water. Once cooled, apply clean raw honey over the affected area. Honey releases hydrogen peroxide very slowly which helps disinfect the burned area. Make sure the area is fully covered and cover the honey with some sort of plastic ‘cling’wrap. This technique can also be used for more major burns but in this instance I would suggest consulting with your physician as well. If he or she is knowledgeable in the benefits of honey and its healing properties, then all the better.
Skin Cream and Mineral Oil
Another common ingredient in skin creams and lotions is mineral oil. I was promoting Thentix A Touch of Honey at a show one and a woman had another product which she asked me about. It was touted as an “Aloe Vera” product. It had pictures of Aloe leaves on the jar. She asked me to look at the ingredients of the jar.
I looked at the jar and the first ingredient was ‘mineral oil’. Mineral oil is not good for your skin. It coats the skin like a plastic. It clogs pores preventing toxins from being expelled, causing things like acne. Mineral oil is distilled from petroleum. This distillation process is what is used to make gasoline as well. This is not something one should put on the skin. Baby oil is pure mineral oil.
Check your skin creams and lotions to make sure that is doesn’t contain mineral oil.

Skin Conditioners and Propylene Glycol
I watch people purchase various types of skin conditioners. I imagine that what they are looking for in a lotion, cream or anything that they put on their skin is that it feels ok and the smell or aroma is something they like or can at least tolerate. I sell lots of the Thentix and was interested in the primary ingredients in other popular products. I found one that had “Organic Fair Trade” stamped all over it.
Also, were the phrases, “No Parabans” (more…)

More pain – less pain – Chondroitin Sulfate
The third active ingredient in Thentix Pain Formula is chondroitin sulfate.
Chondroitin Sulphate is used in a wide variety of anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory products. It is extracted from shark cartilage of which it(shark cartilage) is primarily composed. Thus it is believed that chondroitin sulfate will alleviate joint pain where cartilage has become eroded and deficient. It has been found to successfully help relieve joint pain.

More about Pain and Wintergreen
Another key ingredient in Thentix Pain Formula is Methyl Salicylate or Wintergreen.
Methyl Salicylate is commonly used for relief of pains and aches in muscles, sprains and joint pain such as rheumatism and arthritis. It can be used for temporary relief of minor back pain, strains as well as the above.
Methyl Salicylate is a topical analgesic.
(Analgesic [definition]: A medicine’s ability to relieve pain, or a drug that alleviates pain; the term comes from the Greek word algos , which means pain.)
Methyl Salicylate has an odor or wintergreen as it is a natural product of the wintergreen plant. (Duh!)
Wintergreen:[definition]:
1. A low-growing, creeping evergreen plant of North America, having solitary nodding white flowers, aromatic leaves, and spicy edible scarlet berries. Also called checkerberry, teaberry.
2. An oil or a flavoring obtained from this plant.
3.Any of several similar or related plants
Do use caution with this a similar products. Do not cover the area with a bandage or use in conjuction with a heat pack. Wash your hands thoroughly after using.

Pain, Pain Go Away!
There are three main active ingredients in the Thentix Pain Formula. These are:
Capsicum Oleoresin
Methyl Salicylate
Chondroitin Sulfate
Capsicum Oleoresin is the ‘hot stuff’. This is the stuff from chili peppers and is what inflames the mucous membranes. It makes the eyes burn. (Note: Do be careful after applying Thentix Pain Formula not to put your fingers near your eyes.) It is used in Pepper Spray.
Capsicum is also used in many medicated creams for its abilities to ease joint and muscle pain. Capsicum activates certain nerve cells which over time reduces substance “P” – a substance believed to transmit pain in the body.
Capsaicin Oleoresin is used in Thentix Pain Formula for its ability to temporarily relieve muscle or joint pain caused by strains, sprains, arthritis, bruising, or backaches.
