Capsaicin balm
$30.00
Capsaicin balm is primarily used for its
analgesic (pain-relieving) properties. When applied topically, it provides temporary relief from minor aches and pains in muscles and joints by affecting nerve cells to reduce the sensation of pain.
Primary Benefits and Uses
- Muscle and Joint Pain Relief: Capsaicin is a common over-the-counter (OTC) treatment for discomfort associated with muscle strains, sprains, bruises, and backaches.
- Arthritis Pain Management: It is widely used to help manage pain from various forms of arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Nerve Pain Reduction: Capsaicin can reduce nerve pain (neuropathy), which may occur after an infection with shingles (postherpetic neuralgia) or due to conditions like diabetes. Prescription-strength capsaicin patches are specifically approved by the FDA for these uses.
