How Capsicum Plaster Works to Alleviate Muscle and Joint Pain
If you suffer from chronic muscle or joint pain, capsicum plaster could provide the safe, natural relief you’ve been looking for.
How does capsicum Plaster work?
Firstly, Capsicum plaster contains capsaicin, a compound found in hot peppers that gives them their signature spicy heat. When capsaicin comes in contact with the skin, it creates a warming sensation that distracts the brain from pain signals. This blocks the transmission of pain perceptions to the central nervous system without harming nerves or thinning skin.
Secondly, In addition to distracting the brain from pain, capsaicin also triggers the release of endorphins - your body’s natural “feel good” hormones that relieve pain. The capsaicin in capsicum plaster enhances blood flow to the application area, improving circulation and oxygenation which helps reduce muscle soreness and joint stiffness.
Thirdly, capsaicin appears to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines, compounds that amplify inflammatory responses underlying many chronic pain conditions. By mitigating inflammation, capsaicin provides broader analgesic effects.
Fourthly, capsaicin triggers vasodilation and enhances blood flow to afflicted muscles, joints, and nerves, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to accelerate healing while flushing out pain-inducing metabolites.
Finally, transdermal delivery allows capsaicin to bypass liver metabolism and directly penetrate tissue at the pain site. This provides superior localized relief compared to oral NSAIDs which must enter the bloodstream first.
In summary, Capsicum Plaster's complex pharmacological effects involving neurotransmitter release, inflammatory mediators, improved circulation, and topical penetration work in concert to safely alleviate muscle and joint pain at the source. The multitude of mechanisms makes capsicum plaster an effective broad-spectrum analgesic option.
