Capsicum annuum cream for medicinal use

Capsicum annuum cream is a topical preparation made from the dried and ground fruit of the Capsicum annuum plant, commonly known as chili pepper.

This cream is used in herbalism to stimulate circulation and provide a warming sensation on the skin. It is often applied to relieve muscle aches, joint pain, and inflammation due to its capsaicin content. The active compound, capsaicin, works by depleting substance P, a neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting pain signals.

It is typically used in formulations for conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and muscle soreness.
