Pain Capsaicin
Pain:
Pain is an unpleasant physical sensation conveyed to the sensory and brain neurons. The nociceptors detect damage in body tissues and transmit this information along the spinal cord to the brain for interpretation; hence a person feels pain. Pain leads to physical and emotional distress. Pain can be acute, chronic or intermittent. Acute pains are a symptom of a severe injury, while chronic pain is associated with stable health conditions.
Natural Remedy:
Capsaicin derived from chili peppers.Why it works:
Capsaicin works by interfering with the pain signals leading to the reduction in the production level of neurotransmitters that binds the pain receptors. Taking capsaicin causes a heat sensation in the body, activating some nerve cells, and as a result, the burning sensation distracts one from feeling pain. This results in instant pain reduction and reduction in tenderness on the affected joints. Capsaicin can be very effective for acute and chronic pain such as backache, toothache, stings, bites, and even arthritis.
