CHILI PEPPER (Capsicum) CO2 TOTAL Capsicum frutescens (India)
Capsicum is not a true oil, but is actually a concentrated liquid spice (oleoresin). This is a wonderful aid for gas and diarrhea, asthma and toothaches. It can be applied externally in a poultice to stimulated chilled skin or as a remedy for painful joints. Its irritation on the skin causes more blood to flow to the area, and therefore, reduces inflammation.
CAUTION: Even in small amounts, capsaicin causes a burning, hot sensation and pain to the mucous membranes of the mouth. Extended exposure causes ulcers and necrotic areas on the skin and irritation to the eyes.
