A penetrating organic salve with pain-easing arnica, healing St. John’s wort and warming cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, a natural anti-inflammatory that blocks a neurotransmitter that transmits pain signals from the nerves to the central nervous system.
This warming salve quickly melts into your skin and can help temporarily soothe and comfort sore muscles, ease joint stiffness, and calm discomfort, providing relief from everyday aches and pains.
Soothing oils soften skin while the synergistic blend of herbs and essential oils gently warms and encourages circulation to help relieve muscle tension and stiffness.

How To Use
Capsaicin provides only temporary relief, so it must be applied a few times a day.
- Use to soothe the everyday aches and pains
- Massage directly onto the skin focusing on sore joints and muscles
- Apply enough to cover the painful area, and rub it into your skin until it disappears
- Wash your hands immediately to avoid accidentally getting it into your eyes, nose, or mouth
- I have used it to help arthritic hands apply before bed and cover with a pair of thin pair of cotton gloves
Although it is safe for most folks with sensitive skin, to be safe always do a patch test to see how your skin reacts. For the patch test:
- Capsaicin increases blood flow to the local area and may cause redness, so a slight reddening of the skin is okay as long as it is not accompanied by a rash-like irritation
- The salve should feel pleasant and gently warming--it should NOT burn
- If it feels like a burn--do not use the salve
While a product with capsaicin may temporarily help relieve some painful conditions, it is not a cure and it may work for some people and not others. Use consistently for the most noticeable results.
Stop using the salve if the skin becomes irritated, red, swollen, or itchy. Also, be aware that these side effects can be aggravated by hot, humid weather, or sweating.
Always consult your medical professional if you have any questions, concerns or if your condition worsens.
