Cayenne Oil Salve

Remember folks, I formulate things based on the properties of the ingredients. I do not make or sell medical products, and I do not give medical advice. Consult your healthcare professional for any medical issue or diagnosis.

Cayenne is used for its analegesic properties. The capcasin in the pepper has been used for centuries in mixtures of poltices and salves by grannies and aunties to help with discomfort. 

Because it is such a strong pepperine and can irritate skin, we use very little of it, and we blend it with other oils and butters that dilute it. 

Cayenne: Studies show capsacin reduces pain, and affects the nervous system. We've added aloe vera to mitigate the "bite" of the capsacin, but DO NOT EVER apply this to broken or irritated skin.
