This past weekend, we went to Cedar Point. It was my first trip back since I was about 15 years old. It certainly looked much different than I remember, but even more so, was the difference in the soreness the next day! Here's a simple little home remedy alternative to Tylenol or Ibuprofen for those sore shins, calves and ankles!
INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil OR Coconut Oil
1 Tbsp. Cayenne Powder
Mix cayenne powder into carrier oil thoroughly til a paste is formed. Rub cayenne oil into sore muscles and joints. Takes roughly 10 - 15 minutes to activate. You will notice a warming/tingling sensation. Re-apply when necessary.
*Wear gloves or wash hands immediately after application, avoid touching eyes.
*DO NOT USE on areas with open wounds.
*Cayenne may stain fabrics, apply carefully!
MEDICINAL PROPERTIES:
CAYENNE: External and internal pain reliever, analgesic, antibacterial, rubefacient. Cayenne's high concentration of salicylates (Capsaicin) is believed to decrease the concentration of the chemical "Substance P" used by nerve cells to transmit pain signals. Improves circulation, dialating capillaries by both topical and internal doseages.
Can also be used long-term to treat arthritis and fibromyalgia pain. The effectiveness of increases over time.
