Hi shermie, Here are several sites that sell capsaicin cremes/ointments/lotions/sprays. You can also get many of these at a local drugstore or superstore. The Arthritis Society is not opposed to these crèmes and ointments ?For some people, rubbing one of these salves on an arthritic joint is as effective as the pain relief they experience from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and, beyond a brief burning sensation, there are none of the side effects that often accompany NSAID use, such as gastric upset or bleeding and rashes. Capsaicin can even be used as an adjunct to ongoing NSAID treatment.? http://www.arthritis.ca/tips%20for%20living/complementary%20therapies/types/creams/default.asp?s=1 This Bandolier study concurs that capsaicin crème can be effective http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/booth/painpag/Chronrev/Analges/CP063.html About using capsaicin crèmes: http://www.arthritis.realage.com/content.aspx/topic/28 ======================================================== Capsaicin crèmes/ointments/salves can be purchased here: ======================================================== Drugstore.com has a capsaicin patch http://www.drugstore.com/qxp10444_333181_sespider/Zostrix/Topical_Pain_Relieving_Cream_Sports.htm This page, from the above site, lists two capsaicin crèmes: http://www.drugstore.com/search/search.asp?search=capsaicin++ointment&searchtype=0&trx=SRCHMOD&trxp1=10784&srchtree=1 This link has a selection of capsaicin products: http://www.nextag.com/serv/main/buyer/OutPDir.jsp?search=capsaicin+ Nature?s RX http://naturesrxhq.com/cgi-bin/merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=NR&Product_Code=0168&Category_Code=B FoodStore http://www.foodstore-reviews.com/vitacost/JASON-MAX-6-18246.html Nature?s Distributors sells an Aloe Vera and capsaicin spray: http://naturesdistributors.com/store/7127info.html A roll on lotion can be found here, at Avmazon http://avmazon.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=no-pain-capsaicin-2oz This Shopping.com site sells several capsaicin products, some contain other ingredients such as Swedish Bitters. : http://www1.shopping.com/xKW-capsaicin/linkin_id-3025995/GS.html Lifesvigor sells a spray-on capsaicin lotion http://www.lifesvigor.com/prod/5223/ This YoungAgain2000 site sells a capsaicin lotion: http://www.youngagain2000.com/marcella75/capsaicin.html Hope this helps you locate a product! If any part of my answer is unclear, or if I have duplicated information you already have, please request an Answer Clarification, before rating, so I may assist you further. Regards, crabcakes-ga PS. As a person who makes many typographical mistakes, I feel I can remind you of this: You must spell the word "capsaicin" as I have here, in order to find it on Google or other search engines. I noticed you typed in in the question as "capascain", which may have been why you found little to nothing. I typed it into Google as you typed it, and came up with one lonely site, that did not sell cremes or lotions! Typing it in as "capsaicin" brought up over 64,000 sites! I make these kinds of typos all the time myself! Search Strategy =========== capsaicin lotion |

"Capsaicin" is the particular compound which accounts for the fiery properties in all chilies. "The homeopathic remedy Capsicum is made from the chilli pepper, which is still known in homeopathy by the name C. annuum. Medicinally, chillies are a powerful stimulant for the whole body, increasing blood flow and promoting perspiration. In the past they were used to treat infections. Complaints helped by this remedy are characterized by stinging pain in the bladder, thighs, back, ears, neck, and, when coughing, the chest. The pain resembles the burning sensation caused by eating or touching hot peppers. Capsicum is given for mouth ulcers, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, heartburn, rheumatism, and sore throats. People, who need Capsicum crave stimulants such as coffee, although these aggravate the burning pain." http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_cayenne.htm (See "Uses", last paragraph) |
