Capsaicin is the compound found in peppers that gives them their infamous hot and spicy kick. This compound is well-known for its pain-relieving properties. It works by affecting the neurotransmitter that communicates pain signals to the brain. In this way, it can reduce the perception of pain. Capsaicin cream has been studied as a possible treatment option to reduce pain in a handful of conditions.
In arthritis, dysfunction of the pain receptors causes the body to experience prolonged symptoms of pain. Capsaicin cream is effective for reducing pain caused by various types of arthritis, including:
rheumatoid arthritis
osteoarthritis
fibromyalgia
The menthol has a rather pleasant odor that dissipates quickly, leaving your aching body cool and calm.
You probably already know the spicy, minty smell of this analgesic formula — it's a classic for a reason. It's great to keep in your gym bag (and even your travel kit) to ease sore muscles and eliminate any stiffness. It works like magic every time!

Capsaicin balm should not be used on broken or irritated skin or by people who have allergies to capsaicin or hot peppers. Women who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or trying to become pregnant are advised to consult their health care providers before using capsaicin cream.
Always test capsaicin on a small patch of skin first.
How to use it:
Apply the cream directly to the skin over the painful area. Use only as much cream as can be absorbed by the skin.
Once applied to the skin, the cream will cause a warm or burning sensation. This sensation lessens after a few days of use, and may go away altogether with longer-term use.
Use gloves or wash hands thoroughly after applying capsaicin.
If the hands are the area being treated, then apply the cream and avoid hand contact with the eyes and mouth. Avoiding touching the eyes and mouth for an extended period of time can be a challenge, so some users suggest washing treated hands 30 minutes after application.
Stop using the cream if the skin becomes irritated, red, swollen, or itchy. Also, be aware that these side effects can be aggravated by hot, humid weather, bathing in warm water, or sweating.
Capsaicin cream should never be applied to open wounds or cuts.
