Cayenne Menthol Salve

Cayenne menthol salve Cayenne salves bring powerful relief for any painful area, however I formulated this one specifically for my chronic lower back pain. Both cayenne and menthol bring energy and circulation and help tight muscles relax. The menthol works immediately to cool pain, the warming cayenne works long term as well to block pain signals, with increasing results the longer you use it.

Cautions: Cayenne can be irritating to skin. Test your sensitivity on a small area before widespread use. Thuja oil contains thujone, which has a high toxicity and should not be used by those with liver problems, who are pregnant, or in small children.

Ingredients:

Benzoin * Cajeput Oil * Cayenne Pepper * Coconut Oil * Peppermint *

Variations:To use a liquid oil in place of coconut, increase wax by 1 tablespoon. Use 20 drops peppermint essential oil in place of menthol

Recipe Instructions: Balms/Salves : If the coconut is solid heat gently until it liquefies. Stir in the cayenne powder, mixing well. Place in a warm location where it will be convenient to stir occasionally. I use my yogurt maker on the kitchen table, but a sunny window or warm cupboard will do. After 7 to 10 days stop stirring. Keep the coconut oil warm so it does not become solid yet. Give the powder time to settle to the bottom of the jar. This can be 2 to 3 days. When the oil is clear(er), pour off the top into a clean jar, discarding the gunky powder residue. You will lose about a 1/4 cup of oil to the powder. Melt the wax in the microwave. Warm the clarified oil to hot, (not boiling) and mix in the wax. Add the menthol crystals and stir to dissolve. Add 10 drops each benzoin resin, cinnamon and cajaput. Add 20 drops of peppermint oil if you are not using menthol crystals. Cap the jar and let it set. Store in a cool, dry cupboard away from heat. If salve gets too runny in the summer, keep it refrigerated.
