Home Remedy #2: Capsaicin Cream

Capsaicin is the compound found in hot chili peppers such as cayenne that contributes to the burning sensation that these peppers cause. While one might associate this sensation with pain, it’s well-known in the medical and naturopathic community that capsaicin, when used topically, actually functions quite well as an analgesic.

It’s also possible to make your own, but be careful—working with capsaicin can lead to unpleasant situations should you touch your eyes or any mucous membranes without washing your hands thoroughly.
