Lightbulb good luck with capsacin...

Not many here, myself included, like this burning ointment.

If you have burning, I suggest you try Biofreeze. This is cooling.
I was given this in physical therapy a few years ago..it is a wonderful symptomatic reliever. There are some online sources, which can be much less expensive than buying it locally.
It used to be restricted to chiros and PTs, but it is escaping into the marketplace now.
This is their website:
http://www.biofreeze.com/
I do not buy from them, they are too expensive however.
The Ilex in it is also called Yerba Mate...which is a tea very popular in S.America, more used than coffee, in several countries. It has healing properties and is also an antioxidant.
Even tho it is listed as "inert ingredient" I think it is very active in the beneficial effects of the Biofreeze. Just my opinion.

I don't advertise my profession online due to my liability insurance. Most people figure me out quickly, anyway.
I moved my older avatar to my profile...hint hint.
