Misty’s Red Hot Capsaicin and Ginger Pain Salve 

Simple fresh ingredients, thoughtfully combined to bring instant relief to aches and pains, especially those associated with arthritis. 

Cayenne Pepper and fresh Ginger are infused into pure cold pressed Castor oil with just a touch of pure Bee’s Wax. Relief comes from a gentle warming on the surface of the skin, while deep relief is accomplished by the fast absorbing capsaicin carried through Castor oil. 

Capsaicin is the active ingredient in chili peppers that makes them hot. Capsaicin is used in medicated creams and lotions to relieve muscle or joint pain.

Capsaicin used on the body causes a sensation of heat that activates certain nerve cells. With regular use of capsaicin, this heating effect reduces the amount of substance P, a chemical that acts as a pain messenger in the body.

Ingredients: Castor oil, Cayenne Pepper, Ginger and Bee’s Wax 

Special Attention

The botanical materia medics, wares and recipes of this website are NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE THE SERVICES OF PHYSICIANS.

   By all means see a physician when a condition requires his services.

   There is ample proof that that botanical medicines have been used for thousands of years, and it is reasonable to believe that they were also used by primitive man to survive diseases, and the rigors of aging.

    None of these products have been evaluated by the FDA.

   Many botanicals offered at Starfish Honey are recognized in the United States and foreign pharmacopias. Many of them have been discarded for stronger, more certain, synthetic drugs, or other reasons.

   Modern science is now reevaluating many of the old time botanicals, and searching jungles and distant places to seek remedies from aboriginal races.

  The future of human medicine may very well rest in the methods of our ancient ancestors.
