Applying Capsicum Plaster Step-by-Step - Usage Tips
Capsicum plaster containing capsaicin is growing increasingly popular for managing pain. Derived from chili peppers, capsaicin creates a warming sensation that distracts the nerves from transmitting pain signals. While these plasters can provide effective temporary pain relief when used properly, there is some technique involved in their application.
Follow this step-by-step guide to get maximum results from your capsicum plaster:
Choose Your Placement Area
Apply the plaster directly to the most painful area of the skin. Common sites include:
•Lower back
•Knees
•Shoulders and neck
•Joints
Clean and Dry Skin
Make sure skin is clean and dry before application, without lotions, creams, or oils present. Oils can prevent the plaster from properly adhering.
Remove Backing Film
Peel off the protective backing film before applying. Check that the edges stick properly. Smooth over gently after application to secure.
Apply Heat
To activate the capsaicin ingredients, use a heating pad or warm towel over the site for 10-15 minutes once the plaster is on. The warmth helps absorption. Do not apply direct heat on top of the plaster.
Leave on for 8-12 Hours
For best results, keep the capsicum plaster firmly in place for 8-12 hours before removal. Longer duration ensures full delivery of active pain-relieving ingredients into the skin.
Remove Properly
Gently peel the plaster off fully when ready. Do not cut through the product to remove it. Avoid reapplying to the same skin area for 24 hours to prevent skin irritation. Properly discard after one use.
As with any new pain relief intervention, monitor your response closely and discontinue use if any worrisome reactions occur. Get Relief with Proper Capsicum Plaster Use
