Capsicum Oleoresin

Topical Capsaicin Spray

Capsicum oleoresin is the substance in cayenne peppers (often misspelled cayanne pepper) which makes them burn. This is why this cayenne extract is used in topical capsaicin spray.



It's an oily substance that sticks and spreads when it touches the skin. This is what makes oleoresin capsicum spray so effective that many law enforcement agencies use it to subdue violent criminals.

What is Capsaicin?

Capsaicin is the ingredient in topical capsicum which makes it feel hot to the touch. It is stimulating, warming and irritating to the body. This can be beneficial or detrimental depending on the concentration of capsaicin extract in the product being used.

Capsaicin Burn

The concentration in pepper spray is much higher. It causes extreme discomfort, burning and swelling of any body part it comes into contact with.

These sprays are usually aimed at an attacker's or suspect's face. Because of this, the hot pepper spray is also inhaled. This causes coughing, gagging and the sensation of choking.*

This is sufficiently incapacitating to allow the crime victim to escape or to allow the police to subdue the suspect and make an arrest without further violence.

*The vast majority of pepper spray victims recover from this respiratory distress but a small percentage of people on whom the police use this method of restraint die. So far, these deaths have not been directly linked to the use of oleoresin capsicum spray.

I was diagnosed with asthma as a teenager. After several years of struggling with asthma medications and not really getting any better, I decided I could not take it anymore.

The drugs made me feel sleepy all the time.

I threw them away, determined to learn to treat my asthma naturally.

Drugs were much cheaper in those days. I was an impulsive teenage girl. I don't think you should throw your meds away until after you speak with your doctor and find a natural remedy that works!

For the last 30some years, I have been managing my asthma naturally.

I sprinkle ground black pepper on my food daily (it cuts mucus) and avoid my triggers. I also use thyme and cloves often in cooking as these 2 herbal anti-spasmodics relieve the bronchial spasms which happen during an asthma attack.

I have not had a full-blown attack in years!

Over the years, I have discovered many other safe, cheap alternatives to pharmaceuticals. They work if you know how to use them correctly.

That is the true value of Herbs the Natural Alternative. It tells you which herb to use to treat your ailment and how to use it.

Best of all, it is written with gardeners in mind. If you need help deciding which herbs to fill your medicinal garden with, download this book.

You won't be disappointed.
