Smile Can Cayenne Peppers Really Cure a Headache?

Can Cayenne Peppers Really Cure a Headache?

Chronic headache sufferers may soon have some new alternatives. The active ingredient in cayenne peppers, capsaicin, is believed to bring headache relief by depleting Substance P, a neurotransmitter that helps send pain signals.

Although some are still skeptical, a number of studies have tested the claim, and most have found evidence to support it. One prominent study on capsaicin for pain relief was published back in 1998 in the Clinical Journal of Pain. Their review of 33 previous studies found that capsaicin worked better than a placebo for cluster headaches.

Most studies suggest that the capsaicin needs to be applied topically, such as swabbing the inside of your nose, in order for it to be effective.

Swabbing the inside of your nose with pure capsaicin would probably dissolve it.
You would be greatfull for a bullet to the temple to stop the pain.
What are they thinking???
