Capsicum tincture

Indications. Capsicum tincture is prescribed externally as an irritating and distracting rubbing agent for neuralgia, radiculitis, and myositis. The active ingredients in the tincture have a local irritant effect on the skin, causing capillaries to dilate and increase its sensitivity. This leads to a distracting effect and a reduction in pain in inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system. It is recommended to rub with pepper tincture 2-3 times a day, monitoring the skin reaction. The course of treatment is usually 10-14 days. The tincture should be used carefully, avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
