Frequently Asked Questions
Does the patch leave any mess?
No, Naturopatch is designed so the essential oils will not get on clothing or sheets; and when you take Naturopatch off there is no messy residue left behind.

Can I cut the patch?
Yes, you can cut the patch without disrupting the integrity of the essential oils or losing any of the aromatherapy benefits. Cutting Naturopatch is great if you have an area of the body that needs a smaller piece or a customized shape.

Is Naturopatch re-usable?
No, Naturopatch is made to be disposed of after each use and always use a fresh Naturopatch for hygienic reasons. Typically after Naturopatch has been peeled off the skin it will not re-stick.

Can you wear a patch if pregnant or while breast feeding?
We recommend that women who are pregnant or breast feeding check with their physicians before using Naturopatch.

Can children or elderly wear Naturopatch?
Children over the age of 4 may wear Naturopatch but we suggest that infants and the elderly do not use Naturopatch. It is also advisable to trim the patch or cut in quarters when using on young children.

Can I exercise with Naturopatch on?
Sweating due to exercise may cause the patch to slide out of place and possibly fall off. However after cooling down, if the patch is still on the skin, the adhesive properties will be reconstituted and it should stay put on your body.

Are your products American made?
Yes. Naturopatch is manufactured in Vermont.
 

Using the Patch.
How do I use an Essential Oil Aromatherapy Patch?
Naturopatch should be placed on clean, dry skin. If you have lotions on or other products on the surface of the skin it is best to wash the area where you will be placing Naturopatch.

Step 1: Do not remove the patch from its protective tin until you are ready to use it. Naturopatch Essential Oil Patches will begin to dry out if stored outside the tin.

Step 2: Choose a clean, dry, relatively hair-free area of skin, free of lotion or soap. Do not put a Naturopatch Essential Oil Patch on skin that is burned, broken out, cut, or irritated in any way.

Step 3: Peel the clear protective liner away from the sticky side of the Natropatch Essential Oil Patch, avoiding touching the adhesive as much as possible. Discard the liner so it is out of the reach of children and pets; it may be recycled with plastic recyclables.

Step 4: Apply the sticky side of the Naturopatch Essential Oil Patch to your skin immediately. (placement of patch depends on variety chosen). Press the patch firmly on your skin with the heel of your hand for at least 10-15 seconds. Make sure it sticks well, especially around the edges.

Step 5: The Patch is effective up to 24 hours. Application is recommended after bathing or showering, as extended exposure to water may deteriorate the adhesive. After 24 hours or during bathing/showering, remove the used patch, fold it together with the adhesive inside, and dispose of it out of the reach of children and pets.

How long is the Naturopatch good for?
An unopened tin of Naturopatch is good for 18 months from purchase date, and once opened Naturopatch is good for approximately 6 months.

How does Naturopatch come off?
Because the patch is very adhesive we do not advise pulling it off your skin quickly or you may see a red mark. The two ways we suggest are, letting it fall off in the shower or bath, or wetting the outside edge of the patch with a washcloth so that it will be easier and less painful to take off. One may also take the patch off without water by rubbing the patch for a few moments to warm it, and peel it off slowly.

Why aren't my patches sticking?
Lack of adhesion may be due to hot weather, a user's skin type, or vigorous exercise. Please be sure you have applied the patch properly, following the directions in Step 4. Do not use moisturizing soap or lotion immediately prior to applying the patch. If you use a moisturizing soap, try changing brands or apply medical adhesive tape over the patch to help keep it in place. To cope with today's hectic and demanding lifestyles, remember to take time out for yourself and use our spa-on-the-go patch therapy. Your future of wellness and balance starts now.

How many patches can you wear at a time?
As many as needed. For example, if you have two areas on the body that need an Arnica patch for aches and pains (i.e. shoulder and lower back) you may put more than one on. Also if you needed a Lemongrass patch for Energy and Focus (or any other type of Naturopatch) it doesn’t hurt to wear as many as you need.

How long should I leave the patch on?
Naturopatch products may be worn for a period of 24 hours or shorter. Since the essential oils in the patch react with your individual body temperature the length of time you leave Naturopatch on may vary with every application.

About the Ingredients
What are essential oils?
Essential oils are pure plant substances that are naturally derived from all parts of the plant i.e. seed, bark, root, leaves, flowers, wood, balsam and resin. Essential oils are only to be applied to the skin topically after dispersed in a carrier oil…never ingested!

Do you use pure essential oils or fragrances?
We only use pure essential oils cultivated from around the world. There are never any synthetics or fragrances added to our patches. We have certification on the purity of our essential oils.
Each tin lists the essential oils that the patch contains. If you have a known allergy to one of the essential oils then you should refrain from using that Naturopatch product. If you are unsure of an allergy or have extremely sensitive skin, we recommend doing a patch test. To do a patch test cut the Naturopatch in quarters, place one quarter on skin of your forearm and check to see after a few minutes, and a few hours if the area becomes irritated.

How does Essential Oil Patch Therapy™ work?
Naturopatch Essential Oil Patch works by aromatherapy to bring you the experience of wellness and balance through the senses. Aromatherapy utilizes the effect of aromas on the mind via the body’s olfactory system. Smell is the only one of the five senses that goes directly to the brain without first being processed. It works through the limbic part of the brain, which controls our emotions, touch, smell, etc. and seeks to enhance mood.
Inhalation combined with skin contact is the quickest way for essential oils to enter the body. As we breathe in, moist, warm air carries tiny molecules of essential oils through the nasal passages and, via the olfactory system, to the brain, immediately enhancing mood and optimizing a feeling of health and well-being.
Inhalation of essential oils can thus bring about a positive approach to common complaints, including everyday stress, feeling down, aches and pains, or over tiredness, while also clearing a stuffy head. Aromatherapy is a wonderful holistic experience incorporating the mind, body, and spirit to help ease and relax on all levels.

If I have sensitive skin should I try Naturopatch?
Yes, it may be in your best interest to try one of the patches. Some of the essential oils we use such as Tea Tree or Lavender have calming, soothing properties and may actually decrease skin sensitivities.

Is your product preservative free?
Yes, we do take steps to protect the fragile nature of the pure essential oils we use. For example, the essential oils are stored in a temperature-controlled facility and are contained in dark bottles until they are needed. The oils are not infused into the patch until the last step and the backing on the patch protects against degradation. Also the tins are light tight and air tight to preserve the integrity of the essential oils.

Why is there gel on Naturopatch?
Our gel matrix is a biocompatible (a non-irritant to the skin), inert carrier to hold the essential oils without compromising their integrity. The gel is not a glue, rather is formulated with adhesive properties to stay on the skin. Once you place Naturopatch on the skin your body temperature will activate the essential oils to give off their aromatherapy benefits.
