capsicum plaster: The Best Place to Apply the Plaster
Wondering where on your body to stick that capsicum plaster for maximum pain relief? Properly placing the patch near the source of discomfort ensures the capsaicin gets absorbed efficiently right where you need it most.
Aim for these targets when applying your plaster:
Back
----
For back pain, aim the patch just above or below the specific tender vertebrae or along strained muscles beside the spine. If dealing with broad upper, mid, or lower back discomfort, you can center between the shoulder blades or on either side of the spine near the sacrum.
Shoulders and Neck
------
To treat sore shoulder muscles, situate the plaster over the deltoids and rotator cuff areas at the edge of the shoulders near the arm joint. For neck relief, apply to painful sides just under the skull base.
Knees
-----
Put capsicum plasters just above, below or to the side of achy kneecaps to penetrate knee joints. Situate it along stiff quadriceps tendons above the patella or on swelling around the sides.
Ankles and Feet
-------
For ankles, adhere patches to the exterior side above malleolus bones or near inflamed Achilles’ tendons in back. To ease foot pain including the metatarsals, plantar fascia or bunions, stick plasters over discomfort zones for numbness.
Elbows and Wrists
--------
Apply an elbow plaster to the hard tip outside the joint or surrounding the soft pit inside. For wrist help after strains or sprains, situate in areas above or below carpal bones that hurt most.
Pay attention to any skin reactions before using plasters long-term. Remove or rotate placement every few days and consider combining with castor oil or massage for enhanced blood circulation and faster recovery. Correct capsicum plaster positioning amplifies the relief power of capsaicin.
