Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is it important to apply this 3–4 times every day?
Capsaicin works by gradually reducing the pain neurotransmitters in your nerves. If you skip doses, those transmitters can build back up, causing the relief to fade and potentially restarting the initial "burning" sensation often felt when first starting the treatment.
Is the warming sensation normal?
Yes, a warming or "stinging" sensation is expected because the cream is derived from chili peppers. This is a sign the active ingredient is working. Most users find this sensation decreases significantly after the first week of regular use.
Can I use this for back pain?
Absolutely. Capsaicin is highly effective for simple backaches and muscle strains. Ensure you rub the cream in until fully absorbed and avoid applying heat to the area afterward.
