This feeling of pain is caused by a fat-soluble substance,The scientists found that capsaicin against muscle and joint pain Articles this substance is called capsaicin. People in all peppers are found capsaicin. It is the capsaicin let pepper so delicious to eat, it is also the capsaicin bring the pain to our skin. But what we should appreciate is that capsaicin will not damage body tissue. If your hands feel like being burned, the best way is to grab the ice packs and do not let go, then you might not feel how much pleased with this argument. But in-depth study will bring us into a strange world, this world is consisted by neurotransmitters, pain signals and brain.

When you eat hot peppers or encounter peppers, capsaicin particles will penetrate the skin, through the organization, and touched a deep nerve in the body. This sounds a bit technically! Capsaicin plays the role of a neurotransmitter, combined with the capsaicin receptor and make it disintegrating. Normally, when the temperature reaches or exceeds 42 degrees Celsius, the capsaicin receptor will change. When capsaicin receptor disintegration, it will be released to the nerve cells of charged particles, that is the ion, signal transmission to the brain through the nerves. Such signals with capsaicin receptor feel the heat signal is the same. The brain and can not distinguish the difference between them, the feelings of chili been brought to our feelings is the same as being burned. Now, we should tell the most interesting part. The scientists have discovered the way how to make capsaicin, this liar deceive our taste buds into a "hero". As pharmaceutical raw materials, capsaicin can be used to combat muscle and joint pain, such as the long-term pain caused by diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

First of all, you have to know that the doctors divided the pain into two kinds, physical pain and neuropathic pain. The physical pain is that when we are injured, we will soon be able to feel very severe pain. For example, when our hands touched the red-hot wok, let us handle the pain come back quickly. Neuropathic pain is slowly accumulated long-term pain. This chronic pain does not subside in a short period of time. As isolated nerve conduction pathological pain unlike nerve conduction physiological pain, pathological pain will be very slow conduction. Pain itself is composed of a protein called substance P. Substance P is a neurotransmitter, its appears is show the generation of neuropathic pain and stimulate inflammation.

When the capsaicin touched nerves, it will lead to all media pass neuropathic pain (P substance) to pass on to the nociceptive nerve. These substance P soon exhausted, before the generation of the new substance P molecule, nervous system have no way to return conduction neuropathic pain - that is, there is no substance P, there won’t chronic pain.

Briefly, capsaicin ointment smear 1-4 weeks, a capsaicin ointment can gradually decrease the supply amount of the substance P, and ultimately reducing the persistent pain. There is a drawback of this method in treating pain, that is patients have to endure the burning sensation produced by capsaicin. And this feeling is going to limit them to withstand pain to a certain extent, it will not feel again. This will take some time, but very worth it. Ultimately the pain patients feel will be greatly reduced. This is very good, isn’t it?

But you probably did not have arthritis, just the fate let you get into the red pepper, and you hope that the pain can get over soon. However, once the capsaicin through the skin, it is impossible to seep from the skin. Capsaicin is a very tenacious substance, can survive in the pan, but also resist the low temperature, even thought in the harsh environment of the human gut also could not anti it. Well, you have to remember that not to intake too much capsaicin, or you’ll feel hard to excrete! Prevention is the best defense. Capsaicin manufacturer suggest us to wear gloves while cut peppers or wipe oil in hands before cutting. After cut peppers with soap and water to wash your hands, and painted on the skin of lemon juice. If you do not take timely measures but has begun to feel the pain, then try the handle dipped in oil or vinegar, or the handheld ice pack waiting for the pain subsides. Not to touch the hot things, because that would make more capsaicin receptor decomposition.
