CAPSAICIN –
Capsaicin is the substance in chili peppers that gives them their heat. It is used in many topical ointments to relieve the pain of peripheral
neuropathy
(pain in the nerve endings near the surface of the skin). Capsaicin produces a heating effect that deadens the pain when it is applied to the skin. Studies have shown that capsaicin can relieve arthritic symptoms and improve flexibility of the joints by inhibiting the activity of Decapeptide Substance P (DSP) in the synovial fluid of the joints. DSP can otherwise destroy cartilage and intensify the sense of pain. Capsaicin seems to reduce the symptoms of
psoriasis. A study published in the
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
in 1993 showed that patients with psoriasis who used capsaicin cream had reduced itching, scaling, and redness compared with patients who used a placebo. The researchers concluded that topically applied capsaicin effectively treats pruritic psoriasis.
EUCALYPTUS OIL –
Eucalyptus oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, decongestant, deodorant, antiseptic, antibacterial, stimulating, and other medicinal properties. Best known as a powerful antiseptic and decongestant, it is often used for coughs, colds, chest infections, and sinusitis. It is also used for healing wounds, burns, cuts, abrasions, and sores, and it effectively soothes insect bites and stings. As an anti-inflammatory, eucalyptus oil is helpful in treating muscle and joint pain, and it is often recommended to patients suffering from rheumatism, lumbago, sprained ligaments and tendons, stiff muscles, aches, fibrosis, and even nerve pain.
ALLANTOIN –
Allantoin is a healing, moisturizing, soothing, non-toxic agent that is used in dermatological, cosmetic, and veterinary preparations. Allantoin stimulates healthy tissue formation and has a pronounced keratolytic and skin-softening action. It acts as a chemical debrider of necrotic and scaling tissue, cleansing the areas where it is applied. Allantoin is effective at quite low concentrations, 0.1% up to 2%, and is used for the treatment of skin ulcers, wounds, scalds, burns and sunburns, carbuncles, acne and skin eruptions, fissures and abrasions,
impetigo, eczema, and psoriasis.
MSM (METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE) – MSM
is a popular dietary supplement promoted for a variety of conditions, including pain, inflammation, allergies, arthritis, and the maintenance of normal keratin levels in hair, skin, and nails. Like other
sulphur
compounds, MSM is a necessary building block for proteins, especially those found in the hair, muscles, and connective tissue of the joints and skin. Recent studies show that MSM is particularly beneficial for the treatment of arthritis and seasonal allergic rhinitis.
MSM is a sulphur-containing compound that is used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
Methylsulfonylmethane (
MSM
) is a derivative of
DMSO
and is safer to use because it does not accumulate as rapidly in the body. It also does not have an offensive “rotten egg” odour. As a source of
organic
sulphur, MSM helps to build
protein, connective tissue, hormones and
enzymes. MSM can be helpful for those individuals who have inflammatory conditions like arthritis,
lupus
and
interstitial cystitis, suffer from seasonal allergies, or have pain due to other health conditions.
Analgesic –
Pain Relief
The pain relieving activity of MSM is believed to be fourfold. Firstly it can directly reduce the transmission of pain signals along nerve fibers. Secondly it increases blood flow to an inflamed area. Thirdly it reduces muscle spasms. And lastly, MSM stops the release of inflammatory compounds. All of these activities help MSM to reduce pain, particularly when it is due to inflammation.
Anti-inflammatory - Arthritis
In addition to its ability to directly and indirectly reduce pain in arthritic conditions, MSM can also be used to help treat those suffering from
Osteoarthritis. Supplementation for 12 weeks (1123mg taken 3x daily) has been found to improve pain and physical performance in those suffering from
osteoarthritis. Often, MSM will be combined with other joint support nutrients such as
Chondroitin,
Glucosamine
and
Collagen Type II
to maximize the benefit to
Joint Health. Interestingly, many of these supplements are beneficial for moderate to severe joint pain, whereas MSM is most beneficial with mild to moderate joint pains.
Detoxification
Supplementation of MSM can also help the body to detoxify by supporting the cleansing function of the
liver. MSM is the natural breakdown product of
DMSO
in the body, which is a commonly used agent for the removal of mercury from the human body. Because of this, it is speculated that taking MSM may in itself help to clear mercury from the body. Interestingly, recent research has focused on the use of MSM in the prevention and treatment of some cancers, such as breast, colon and lung. Further research will be required to draw conclusions on these uses.
Topical Use
Many companies use MSM in topical preparations for arthritis pain relief. Interestingly, from this use, topical MSM has spread to use in other conditions such as:
Rosacea,
Eczema, and even
Acne. Initial research on its use in
rosacea
and eczema are promising, although further research is necessary.
How can I get MSM?
Natural MSM can be found in raw dark green vegetables, and raw red, or yellow fruits and vegetables as well. It can also be found in fish, meat and poutry, as well as eggs and milk. MSM can be purchased as capsules or powder. Another name for MSM is DMSO2. It is often combined with other anti-inflammatory agents in formulas for musculoskeletal health,
joint health, allergies and pain relief. MSM is often added to creams and ointments for the healing of skin conditions and relief of joint pain. Moisture and heat destroy the MSM content of foods and supplements. Taking
vitamin C
with your MSM will help to improve its effect. The therapeutic effects of MSM may take 3 weeks or longer to appear.
