Powerful, Natural Pain Relief - Cayenne Balm
After all the work in the garden, I sometimes get an odd twinge in my back and this balm offers powerful, natural pain relief. So simple to make, all you need is Cayenne Pepper, Olive Oil and some Beeswax. All the details are below so you can try making it yourself. Please follow the recipe exactly to avoid any harm. I am not responsible in any way for the outcome of your balm as I am merely sharing this recipe for interest.
If you are interested in making your own herbal balms and salves and other herbal medicines, consider my Introduction to Herbal Medicine course. More details about it here, - www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...
My other course which is available on line, the Wise Woman Way training, also includes herbal medicine but this course is a transpersonal course following the Celtic Wheel of the Year and drawing on druidic and shamanic techniques. You can find out more here - www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...
The Weed Handbooks Volume 1 and Volume 2 are my two little books that reveal the powerful, healing potential of wild plants that are commonly regarded as weeds. The books encourage you to reconsider and reconnect with the wild plants close to you. You can find them in the shop - www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...

If you would like to make your own Cayenne Balm for aches and pains, here is the recipe. It is the same recipe for either the cold infusion method or the hot infusion method.
8ozs Olive oil
4 tablespoons of pure Cayenne Pepper - DO NOT USE A CHILLI PEPPER MIX
1 0Z Beeswax
Essential oils of Clove, Peppermint and Lavender, DO NOT USE FRAGRANCE OILS
For the cold infusion method - simply measure your Cayenne Pepper into a jar and pour over the Olive oil. Let this infuse for 4 - 6 weeks, (I always go for 6 weeks). Stir and shake each day to ensure the Cayenne pepper does not cake at the bottom of the jar. After 6 weeks strain out the Cayenne through sieve with at least a couple of pieces of muslin/cheesecloth in it. You can now use this Cayenne oil as it is or add beeswax to create a salve or balm. Place the Cayenne infused oil into a bowl and place in a pan of simmering water or into a double boiler and add the beeswax. When the beeswax has melted remove from the heat and pour into clean jars. After a moment or so, add the essential oils. When completely cool, place on the caps.
For the hot infusion - which only takes a number of hours - place the Cayenne pepper into a bowl or a pyrex jug, with the olive oil and heat very gently. Once it is warm, remove from the heat and allow to cool for twenty minutes. Heat again until the bowl or jug feels warm and then allow to cool again. Repeat this process for several hours or leave on a cooling stove overnight. (I warmed and cooled mine for about three hours but I think the finished balm would be more powerful if allowed to infuse for longer.) When you are satisfied that the Cayenne Pepper has infused for long enough, strain through a sieve and layers of muslin or cheesecloth. Add the beeswax. When the beeswax has melted, pour the infused oil into jars. When it is has cooled for a moment or so, add the essential oils and when fully cool, cap the jars and label.
Cayenne Pepper is an analgesic, blocking the pain signal to the brain. The heat can bring relief to aches and pains, arthritic joints, rheumatic pain, neurological pain, head aches, bumps and bruises. The essential oils are analgesic and anti-inflammatory. Apply only a small amount as a little goes a long way! ALWAYS ENSURE TO KEEP IT AWAY FROM BROKEN SKIN AND FROM THE EYES. I hope you find this helpful.

Enjoy your videos - I made some cayenne oil 30 yrs ago to be used as you described. Well a friend of mine was in the hospital because of poor leg circulation, her legs were a deep purple color and the doctor would not release her until her legs improved. I went to visit and applied my cayenne oil to her legs. The doctor released her a couple of days later because the circulation had improved dramatically. Just wanted to share this with you. Have a great day!

Was the cayenne oil you made 30 years ago what you gave your friend? If so, how old was the oil when you gave it to them? Was this healing just recently or in the long-ago past. Bottom line question - how long does this remedy last?

Much cheaper than the Tiger Balm that I use so sparingly. Wonderful.

This is fantastic! I started keeping cayenne infused oil in my cabinet years back. It worked wonders for lower arms issues. A friend of mine mentioned trying oregano tincture for her carpal tunnel and how well it worked. I have since learned how to make salves and such. I cannot wait to add your recipe to my shelf. This hot infusion will be such a time saver for when I am in a time crunch. Thanks for sharing!

One of my favorite ways to use cayenne is to add a tiny pinch to hot chocolate when I'm feeling chilled to the bone from working outside and can't seem to get warm enough.

Cayenne Pepper prevents plaque and it can also reduce plaque. I had 50% blockage in the Widow Maker below my stent in 2022 , after 6 months using Cheyenne Pepper 2 times a day it reduced 40 % according to the Heart Cath in 2023. I also use Cayenne Pepper for pain.

Thanks for sharing this Terri. My husband made Rosemary Gladstar's 'Creaky Bones Cayenne Rub' for me about 10 years ago, for my at the time hip pain. We have a magical butter machine, and it was ready PDQ. It works very well. One thing to note: I found the rub did stain anything I was wearing, turning anything white to grey. It was worth the effort. Blessings to you and Lol, from Canada. I love the background guitar music, Lol. 🍁

I use disposable gloves in the kitchen when handling raw meat. I think they will work if I use them to apply the balm. That way i won't have to worry about rubbing my eyes. I've done that more than once with other salves and it isn't fun! Thanks for the recipe.

I used to work for a cannabis dispensary in Illinois USA, and they have a Cayenne + CBD (anti-inflammatory cannabinoid) we'd always sell out it; really works! The magic is in the terpenes of the cayenne.

I made a triple batch of this last week. I started by making a small half batch and went to add my lavender, of which I last used for soap, and instead of drops, I added a glug. I had to then infuse more oil and continue to make it with a safe 2% oil usage based on what had been used and what was missing! Phew! In the end, it is totally worth it. Thanks for the awesome video.

I make different salves and infused oils. Usually, it's for someone needing something fairly quick. Depending on the need, I might add different oils or fats together (or what I have available in the kitchen)with the different herbs in a crock pot. I'm waiting now for a few to crop up so I can do a proper salve that allows it to take its time, let them all get to know each other😁
This is something anyone can make if they have a kitchen and a grocery store. Food is medicine. I may try it sometime!
