July 31, 2009, Newsletter Issue #226: cayenne pepper to block to the pain

Tip of the Week

Cayenne Pepper (capsicum.spp)contains pain blocking capsaicin. When applied to the skin, capsaicin interferes with the body´s perception of pain by depleting the body´s pain messenger, known as substance P. While the condition causing the pain remains, the perception of pain is blocked. CAUTION: Wash hands thoroughly after using a capsaicin cream and avoid touching the eyes or mucous membranes. Do Not Use Capsaicin Cremes on BROKEN/INJURED Skin.
