You wonder why cayenne is the main item? Here is why.
Cayenne role on muscle pains It has capsaicin, the main item that releases substance P. this P is from the inflammation and nerve cells of immunity. It helps us perceive the pain and makes release of cytokines that induce healthy inflammation response.
Cayenne extends the vessels of blood and allows anti inflammation cells to the area. When this is released, P is depleted and if you apply cayenne, pain threshold increases. This is named pain desensitization.
Area feels less painful and now you can walk, stretch, have therapy, workouts.

Raw cocoa butter Good for the skin due to antioxidants and herbs easily absorbed inside.
Ginger Used in Chinese and Ayurveda for warming and soothing effects. When you put this on muscles, blood flow gets better and new immune cells push along the inflammation.
Turmeric Spice like ginger, removing inflammation and healing. It lowers swelling and inflammations.
