Hot Sauce, on the new frontier for pain relief...the nerves become overwhelmed and shut down...thus there goes the pain....this is not the hot sauce we put on a taco, but rather a purified version of the basic ingredient being studied...so don't pour hot sauce on your knee just yet...BD
WORCESTER, Mass. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Hot sauce can put a fire in your belly and leave your eyes crying for more. Now, doctors are testing to see if the hot stuff that numbs your tongue can numb knee pain. The spicy new treatment is part of a study that uses Adlea, an ultra-purified form of capsaicin. Dr. Birbera injects it into a patient's knee to relieve pain.
Hot sauce is used to spice up your food. Now, capsaicin -- the active principle that gives chili peppers their punch -- is knocking out knee pain. At age 71, Ron Johnson says his knee is in better shape than it was in his fifties. Adlea is not FDA approved and doctors are still testing to see just how long the pain is relieved.
