Hot peppers have one active component in their composition that is called capsaicin. The hotter the pepper is, the more capsaicin it contains. Capsaicin can depletes a neurotransmitter responsible for delivering pain signals to the brain. That neurotransmitter is called substance P. So if we can block it, then we don’t get the memo for hurt and end up released from pain. You can easily make the hot pepper cream at home and feel relaxed knowing what exactly you have put in it.

Note: You should expect a little burning sensation at the moment when applied. Use with caution if your skin is sensitive. Always wear gloves while handling hot pepper and avoid contact with eyes.
