News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention(s). It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art, or material, to the presently described or claimed inventions, or that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
"The present invention relates generally to the field of bio-affecting and body treating compositions and more specifically relates to therapeutic compositions for skin use.
"Millions of individuals suffer from acute or chronic pain every year. In 2012, a study by health economists from
"Conventional treatments for pain include the prescribing of pharmacologic analgesics such as acetaminophen, NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors, and synthetic opioids (narcotic painkillers) such as codeine, oxycodone, and the like. It is well known that these drugs are poorly tolerated by many individuals and carry with their use substantial risks, particularly in pregnant patients, elderly patients, and individuals with certain pre-existing conditions. As examples, acetaminophen can be toxic to patients with liver disease, long-term NSAID use has been associated with gastric disorders, and narcotic painkillers can produce a myriad of serious side effects including respiratory depression, nausea, and chemical addiction. For the reasons stated above, it is clear that alternatives to conventional drug therapies, and the risks associated with their use, would be of great benefit to many who suffer from acute or chronic pain.
"Several attempts have been made to solve the above-mentioned problems using alternate bio-affecting and body treating compositions, such as those found in
As a supplement to the background information on this patent application, NewsRx correspondents also obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent application: "In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known bio-affecting and body treating composition art, the present invention provides novel therapeutic compositions for skin formulated from constituents derived from natural plant sources. Furthermore, preferred therapeutic compositions of the present system are formulated to contain no artificial colors or other synthetic chemicals. The general purpose of the present system, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to assist pain relief.
"A therapeutic treatment system is disclosed herein, in a preferred embodiment, a composition for skin is provided that preferably includes: fenugreek essential oil, almond essential oil, mint essential oil, garlic essential oil, castor essential oil, and at least one carrier oil. Moreover, in such a preferred composition, the at least one carrier oil preferably includes fractionated coconut oil. Additionally, in such a preferred composition, approximately 18% of the volume of the preferred composition is preferably the fenugreek essential oil, approximately 18% of the volume of the preferred composition is preferably the almond essential oil, approximately 18% of the volume of the composition is preferably the mint essential oil, approximately 18% of the volume of the preferred composition is preferably the garlic essential oil, and approximately 18% of the volume of the preferred composition is preferably the castor essential oil. Even further, approximately 10% of the volume of the composition is preferably the at least one carrier oil.
"In accordance with another preferred embodiment hereof, this system provides a composition for skin use, the composition preferably comprising: fenugreek essential oil, almond essential oil, at least one carrier oil, and at least one additional plant-based essential oil. Even further, the system provides such a preferred composition wherein the at least one carrier oil preferably includes fractionated coconut oil. Even further, it provides such a preferred composition wherein such at least one additional plant-base essential oil preferably includes at least one of mint essential oil, garlic essential oil, and castor essential oil. Even further, it provides such a preferred composition wherein approximately 18% of the volume of the composition is preferably the fenugreek essential oil.
"The present system holds significant improvements and serves as a useful therapeutic composition for topical (skin) application. Preferably, such bio-affecting and body treating compositions should assist in providing pain relief and, yet would perform reliably and be manufactured at a modest expense. Thus, a need exists for new bio-affecting and body treating compositions that avoid the above-mentioned problems.
"For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description."
