Capsicum annuum essential oil for medicinal use

Capsicum annuum essential oil is a concentrated aromatic extract derived from the dried fruit of the chili pepper plant.

It contains compounds like capsaicin, which give it its characteristic heat and therapeutic properties. In herbalism, it is used to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. It is often applied topically in diluted form for conditions such as arthritis or muscle pain.

However, it should be used with caution due to its potency and potential for skin irritation.
