The magic behind heat it™

To relieve itch and pain, the affected skin area is briefly heated to approx. 124 °F. Current research suggests, heat application reduces the transmission of stimuli. Therefore, the itching signal can no longer be transmitted properly and the need to scratch disappears. In order to achieve this itch-relief effect on the skin nerves, a short heat pain is necessary.

Why mosquito bites itch?

Itching is the body's reaction to the mosquito saliva injected during the bite. Our immune system fights back by releasing histamine. As a result, the blood vessels dilate, the bite swells and begins to itch. Heat treatment of the bite causes various endogenous reactions that can relieve itching and pain.
