10 Home Remedies For Shingles
Home Remedy #8: Cayenne
Cayenne pepper is often associated with discomfort and pain. However, it’s actually a popular ingredient used in many topical painkillers.
The reason for this is because cayenne contains capsaicin, a compound that fools the brain into activating pain signals. Applying a diluted form of capsaicin on the skin may initially sting a bit more, but eventually it will reduce the receptivity to pain signals, reducing discomfort.
