Hello,
Just want to let you in on a little known secret. Unless you are
friends with pain you might know this but red chili pepper is the main
medicinal ingredient in Lakota a famous arthritis medicine.
I recently discovered it will probably cure alot of things. Cayenne has
been known for eons to help cure people and animals. Mine being itching and
pain from PHN after shingles. Which is essentially nerve damage. The
hotness of this organic chemical seems to feed the nerves.
Now the bike part. Lots of people get injured on bikes from too much
gusto or whatever. Take it easy, but if you cannot try hot chili sauce
mixed with your favorite skin lotion. Some lotions I found are more
conductive to the heat. Cheaper lotions are less so. So next time try it,
what have you got to loose. I use half a drop of hot serrano chili sauce
for a quarter section of my face.
You would have to determine what is hot enough depending on the body
part and be careful where too. I have used store bought Tiger Balm and it
works great but only for two hours. Mine worked till I washed it off. It
also saved $20 that the pharmacy wanted for a cayenne based lotion of 60gm.
Gimme a freakin' break eh!
Consuming hot sauce should also be good for arthritis and muscle pain
and should I say it, more fun.

Cheers,
SN

And BTW the Eustar Bike boot from MEC is nice. I bought a pair. Phone mail
order if you need size comparison. Fit Big for more insoles and socks is a
good idea. They have velcro straps

Made in China

But it would possibly taste awful. OTOH, it

If it were a matter of EATING it to relieve pain, then Texas would be
pain-free (except in the orifices connected to the digestive system).
The ingredient which makes peppers hot is capsaicin. It has been
extracted and put into a pain-relieving CREAM (don't eat it!) keted
under the name Capzasin.

I have used Capzasin cream to relieve knee pain from chondromalcia with
good results. They even have a roll-on style that helps keep it off of
your hands. I find that using my hands is preferable since I can add a
bit of massage to the process, but it really helps to wear a pair of
disposable gloves. You really, really, don't want this stuff near any
sensitive parts of your anatomy (eyes, nose, etc.). Overall, it feels
similar to Icy-Hot, but I think it is much more effective. Less icy,
more hot.

I haven't tried using hot sauce as an analgesic as yet. It just seems a
waste of something that tastes so good....

If someone could gene-splice hot peppers with aloe, it would probably be a
miracle cure.

Maybe Texas has less than the rest of us though.

One drop?
Cutting a jalapeno and rubbing the area would have similar results.

Hot sauce is so cheap and I have had mine for years. That is why I use it.


The idea was to save money. Arthritis medicine just takes advantage of
people with pain.
I heard of something called psorisin arthritis Probably skin arthritis
since it is a type of psoriasis. Scientific kaa kaa maybe but jalapeno
would be the answer not what they are flogging.

I guess Texans all have pearly whites though since it super cleans teeth and
digestive tracts.

I never said to eat capsaicin cream BTW. Unless you use sour cream and hot
chili sauce to make it.

Good Luck with that anyway

If that were true, then there would be no arthritis and/or muscle pain in
the whole of Texas.

As long as I don't have to eat the peppers, I might be okay, but eating
them has often given me the hiccups. There's a fine line and if I go
over it, I have the hiccups for 30 minutes. Kind of embarrassing for a
near lifelong Texan. =]

Just don't forget you were playing with hot sauce and go to take a leak
with hot sauce on your hands or you will know real pain.
Voice of experience, Jalapenos and beer day.
Caution in all things.

Cayenne stops bleeding as well.
Won't stop a gushing artery but if you slice yourself
sprinkle cayenne onto the cut and press it on, you will be amazed.
You'll also be amazed in that it doesn't really hurt.
Can't use old spices from the kitchen that have been aging for decades.
Buy it fresh for the first aid kit, replace it annually or close to it.

With honey and lemon it also is pretty good for a sore throat.

For that I might skip the home remedy and see the Doc.

But you can get dropped without enough of it. I'll take my chances with
the injuries :-)
