Plants are recommended rubefaciente action (producing flushing or redness), such as mustard. In general, are very beneficial for painful conditions such as bruises, sprains or arthritis.
Did you know that most of the patches that were placed by our grandmothers were poultices, Sinapis a term derived from the Latin name of the mustard?
• An option for extreme cases.
Another plant that causes similar effects is the pepper (Capsicum sp.) One of the substances it contains is capsaicin, which is capable of interrupting the flow of pain through nerve pathways. Its action is so effective that it is exploring its use in very severe pain such as migraine or some certain cancers. Anyway, we should clarify that its application (diluted to the skin) is quite dangerous. Remember, always suffering from acute pain, first consult a physician.
• Accessible and effective.
The spirit of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is considerably softer than the previous plants, but no less effective in pain of moderate intensity. The rubbing alcohol is also effective and very easy to prepare.
