Capsin cream is used to relieve muscle and joint pain resulting from fatigue, muscle strain, rheumatism or arthritis. It contains capsaicin, which is extracted from hot peppers, which works to reduce the sensation of pain by affecting the nerve endings in the skin. It also helps improve blood circulation in the affected area, which contributes to reducing stiffness and swelling.
Capsin is also used in some chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis. It is applied to the skin in the affected area two to three times a day with gentle massage. Hands should be washed well after use and avoid contact with eyes or broken skin.
