Capsasin

Capsasin is a constituent of the red chili pepper or cayenne. Capsasin is incredibly useful and is known to stimulate the circulation by increasing blood flow to a localized area. This is the reason why so many sports rubs contain this herb, as blood flow is what is needed to start to heal injured muscles and other tissues. Capsasin is also an analgesic and can help relieve some of the pain of an injury.
Capsasin was also known in ancient Mayan culture to be an important antimicrobial and was used to treat illnesses. It is often suggested as a supplement today to fight infections in the digestive system due to its antiseptic and antimicrobial properties.
