What is Arnica and where does it come from?
Arnica comes from the perennial Arnica Montana, a yellow-orangish flower that grows in the mountains of Europe and Siberia as well as temperate climates in North America.
Arnica is a genus of perennial herbaceous plants in the sunflower family. Several species, such as Arnica Montana and A.chamissonis, contain helenalin, a sesquiterpene lactone that is a major ingredient in anti-inflammatory preparations.
What is Boswellia Serrata (Frankincense) and where does it come from?
Scientifically known as Boswellia Serrata, this is not only the name of the herb but also of the large tree native to India and parts of Pakistan. This tree is most famous for producing Indian Frankincense, a common name of the herb, which may also be known as salai or shallaki.
The entire Boswellia genus is referred to as Frankincense, but this species has been praised for the resin it produces. When this gum resin is removed from the tree, it is often burned for aromatic purposes or used in medical applications.
Boswellia Serrata is legendary in Ayurvedic Medicine, as it is associated with powerful anti-inflammatory properties and a wide variety of other health benefits.

How much cream do I apply?
Our creams are “self-regulating” meaning you can choose how much cream to apply based on your personal need. Apply the recommended (1-2) pump instructions per the How To Apply and When To Apply details below on this product page and/or under the Product Tips & Application Tab in the drop down main menu.
Can I layer other creams over this cream?
Our creams can be applied to the body at the same time on different skin areas OR mix (1-2) creams in the palm of your hand and then apply to skin area. Avoid layering creams with non-Nutra Relief creams as other creams are made with toxic chemicals which could cause irritation.
How long do I rub the cream on for?
Gently massage Nutra Relief creams on skin for 30 seconds longer than a normal cream application until fully absorbed. The massaging acts as a mechanism for the cream to fully penetrate the skin.
What if I have sensitive skin?
If you have sensitive skin the best place to apply the cream may be on the soles of your feet. These pores are 30% larger than any other location on your body which makes for an excellent absorption and application area.
Where on my body do I apply the cream?
Our liposomal creams will go thru the skin into the circulatory system no matter where on the body you apply them. Review the “Recommended Application Body Chart” for skin area options. Multiple creams can be applied to the body at the same time, however, apply them on different skin areas to avoid saturation.
How to apply
- Massage (2) pumps on clean skin for 30 seconds to any of these skin options: wrists, inner arms, upper or lower chest, inner thigh, calf’s, abdomen, bottom of feet or areas of the body you wish to build muscle. Gentle massaging acts as a mechanism for the cream to fully penetrate the skin. See “Body Chart” for all recommended application areas.
