Hello, i am rita from belgium and doing this for the last 8 years, i love the video 🙏🏻❤️ for cleaning the jars and all the recepies i use the (cut under the armspit) underwear white t-shirts of my husband and afterwards use these to clean the wooden furniture and leather couches

Hello. I’m glad you liked this video. It’s a great idea to recycle cotton clothing for rags etc… and it doesn’t leave lint behind. Thanks for watching.

Yes ,definitely . I use that method for my propolis salve but I use my crockpot. The blender method in this video is a faster way of extracting from some herbs. Different methods but same results. Thanks for watching. Hope this salve helps.

Heat diminishes capsaicin effectiveness.

Is there a reason you have to use one of those 3 oils, or can you use others' awesome and informative video?

​@i8dpie yes heat ruins herbs medicinals..you never want to boil any herb..

Good morning Suzy! This salve has helped a lot of my friends and family. It’s a simple recipe that seems to bring a bit of pain relief for some people. I really hope it helps you too. If it does, you’ll be able to have it on hand as needed. Thanks for watching and sharing!

Oh good. I like making them as well. This salve has worked great for friends and family. I hope it brings some pain relief for you too. Thanks for watching.

I just started also and will be doing this one tomorrow. I have awful knee pain and had a cortisol shot once..... Never again! I have comfrey infusing and would like to add this to my options.

That’s a great idea. I’ve heard how comfrey can ease pain too. My mom used to have those shots, it was so very painful for her. The cayenne salve is good , I’m glad you’re trying different remedies to see what works best for you. I know this might sound a bit out there ,but you might want to try a fresh ginger poultice on your knee for a few hours. Just take a couple of inches of fresh ginger , mince it up, add it to a cotton cloth like a handkerchief and fold it up, wrap around your knee for a few hours. There should be one layer of material between your skin and the fresh ginger. My sister did this and had much relief from her knee pain. This works if your knee is inflamed. It is said that the ginger pulls the inflammation out of the joint, hence easing the pain. Only do it for a few hours every few days. This isn’t meant as medical advice , just something easy that might just help you. If it does help you , share it with others who might benefit. Thanks for watching. Hope one of your remedies work!

I forgot, I also bought a copper and magnetic bangle bracelet from the drug store, about 20$ and it helps me. Relieves mild pain, aches and muscle fatigue. It might not work for everyone but it helps me. Just a thought.

I really hope this helps her. I made a video on golden paste. It helps with inflammation and may help with arthritic pain. The turmeric in the recipe is one of the helpful ingredients. You may want to read up on turmeric and it’s benefits. My sister-in-law takes turmeric capsules and she finds it really helps with her knees and managing pain. The golden paste in milk is really delicious too. Good luck let me know if it helps. Thanks for watching.

Omg Trish what perfect timing. I want to add peppers to my healing garden some day… still a work in progress. This salve really is helpful and is great as a gift too. Enjoy making this and don’t forget to wear gloves. 🔥

@@suzyrebelo Suzy- I think you’ll find it will be a very easy plant to grow and the more red peppers you pull off as they mature the more peppers come back. Seemed like it was putting out twice the amount then before. I’d pick 4-5 peppers 🌶 one day and the next time I’d go to pick the next peppers there would be 6-8. It kept producing all summer and I didn’t think it would ever quit producing peppers and they are so beautiful as well. I ended up air drying my peppers by stringing them with a needle and thick thread. Just pierced the green stem with the needle and thread and kept adding peppers to the thread as they were harvested and it was about 3 ft long and had to start another strand of peppers. The peppers were about 2 inches apart on the thread and I’d hang them across the window where they’d get sun and they dried beautifully. There’s diff ways to dry them and read where someone did there’s like this so I tried it for the first time. Maybe you can tell us about your health garden some day. I’d love to see it! I have a huge Aloe plant as well and all of my plants are grown in containers as well. They are easier for me to tend to big pots vs the ground due to the storms we have here and the soil is just to sandy on the ground.

Wow. I love the idea of stringing the peppers. They must look beautiful. I definitely want to try growing them. Thanks for sharing

@@suzyrebelo I’m in the middle of making my first rose going by your tutorial , so far so good but as far as the Cheyenne peppers - you won’t be disappointed and will be so happy to see what this plant produces - beautiful RED peppers 🌶 They are gorgeous watching as they fill up the plant with red peppers. Easy plant to grow- very easy!

I definitely want to try to grow peppers. How exciting, your first flower. Can ‘t wait to see how it turned out. I was amazed with my first flower.

Oh wow. I hadn’t heard of this for shingles pain. I just looked it up online. I have only used it for arthritic pain. I would test it on a very small area at first. I really hope it helps. 🙏

In case you were still looking for something for nerve pain, hops tincture applied topically is a good option as well.

Yes. You’re right. Many people get relief from this salve. I hope it works well for you too. Thanks for watching!

Ola I have doubled the recipe and blended for 10 minutes. However, I wouldn’t add more like triple the recipe. I made wedding favours for my niece using the calendula salve , which is the same process. I had to make 60 1 oz tins so I doubled the batches to speed up the process and it worked great. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

Hi there. It’s a pretty solid salve but will melt when applied. I’ve just looked up my beeswax alchemy book and they are using 20 % beeswax in the recipe for a deodorant stick. Therefore, if you want to try this out, use 80% cayenne oil to 20% beeswax. I would make one stick as a test. The extra beeswax won’t change much , it will just create a more solid bar to use. Let me know how it works. It’s a better way to apply this onto your skin without touching it with your hands. Good idea.

Thank you. They make really nice gifts too. Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support.

I’m not familiar with that product…it’s really interesting. Thanks for sharing and watching.

Hello BC Canada ! thanks for subscribing. Capsaicin is the active ingredient in the salve. cayenne pepper contains approximately 2.5 mg of capsaicin per gram. Ghost peppers are much higher in capsaicin I believe. Although you’d think more is better, the excessive heat may be to much if applied topically and burn your skin. I don’t know for certain but I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m sure the ghost peppers would make mighty pepper sauce ! 🔥. Thanks for your comment, hope this helps.

😳 I have a neighbor lady from Germany who eats ghost peppers like candy. She loves them. Iron stomach!

Oh dear. These remedies may not work for everyone. However, the salve works on numbing the pain, not necessarily creating heat that you can feel. Also, you might want to check on the freshness and heat of the cayenne powder or chill peppers you’re using. Like most dried herbs , they lose their effectiveness with time. If that doesn’t work you might want to try a ginger poultice. I recently read about this and gave it to my sister who had terrible knee joint pain, so much that it was hard for her to walk. After 4 hrs of applying the poultice , she said the pain had reduced by 50%. I’m certainly not qualified to give any medical advice, these are just simple home remedies. However, this might be worth a try…you’ll need a small square of fine cloth or cotton material (like a handkerchief) and grate a couple of inches of fresh ginger into it. Fold it up into a little packet , apply the packet or poultice to your should and wrap a bandage around it to hold in place. Wear it for a few hours and see if it brings some relief. The ginger is suppose to help draw out the inflammation and hence relieving some pain. It says not to leave it in too long or do it continuously because it could irritate your skin. This works best for joint pain and inflammation. It’s just a thought. Hope it helps.

@@suzyrebelo Hi Suzy, thank you for the quick reply its much appreciated. I think i was under the impression from other videos that i should feel heat when putting on skin. So do you think it would still work if i just put it on and leave it as i only tried a small part of the oil on my hand ? I will definitely try the ginger poultice you made for your sister . Thanks again for your help . x

@@angief892 Yes, that's a good idea You will most likely feel some relief by applying it to the area and leaving it on. I find that wrapping the area , after applying salve, creates an additional warmth that is soothing. hope this brings you some pain free days!

The active ingredient is cayenne pepper which generates heat to help with pain . While you can apply to arthritic hands , you must be extremely careful not to touch your eyes or other sensitive areas with your hands because it will burn and irritate those areas. Thanks for watching and sharing.

This works great. Yes, it stains the skin a little for a day. Like copper tan. It may stain clothes so I wrap the area after applying it. For limbs I use cut off leotards. For back, I use an old tshirt Hope this helps. Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing this, it is good information to know! Thanks for watching and I hope the salve helps!

Hi there. Unfortunately, you can not use liquid cayenne. It must be the dried herb or pepper. Introducing a liquid like water would create mould and the beeswax won’t set the salve. You can use chilli peppers and ground them up into fine powder, that would work too. Hope this helps.

And thanks for watching

@@suzyrebelo thank you so much!

Not relatatet to ''salve''. Can I mix olive oil with 'cayenne extract of 45-50 % alcohol and distilate water' and to use it just like that until I get what I need to do something more complex like salve, or would create mould? How long does it take for this mixture to mold? I have very severe muscle pain in my legs due to muscle cramps that do not go away for years, and I would like to try cayenne. Thanks for this video.

@@ramonastoian8099 . My name is Usha Meister from Canada. I have worked with herbss a lot. and still do. I I am writing to you as I used to have obscene camps when i was gnoing through my cancer treatment. I made HOMEMADE magnesium oil ( pls speak to your docto if you can use magnesium. I am 71 yrs old so no worries about pregnany eys. Takes only 10 minutes to ake it) Mix 2 cups of magnesium flakes 1cup water 10 drops of osemary essential oil Bring to a gentle boil on low heat . Let it boil down to approx. a cup of the magnesium oil. Cool. Add rosemary essential oil and bottle in a spray bottle You can spray magneium oil on areas where you have the cramps . It gets absorbed into th skin . First few uses u will find it stings ever so lightly but u get used to it. Dont spray on open wounds. Worked great for me. I haven't had any since 10 years. . Mine were brutal. I also use the magnesium oil for my own version of pain salve/ balm. I also. use it when i make pain balm(use it in the waterphase) and the results are phenomenal.Good Luck dear.

Hello. I had to rematch my video to see what I said. You need 1 oz of ground cayenne pepper.. a little more or less won’t make a big difference. Soaking the ground cayenne in the vodka overnight is key, it really helps preserve and infuse the pepper into the oil. Organic ground cayenne is fantastic to use. Hope this works for you as well as it has for me. Thanks from r reaching out and watching my videos!

@suzyrebelo Thank you Suzy. I just made Plantain oil and Calendula oil using this method from your Calendula video. I'm making this salve for my husband who plays the guitar! I'll let you know how it works!

@@HelloChrissyo.0 I really hope it offers some relief . Please do let me know how it works for him.

@suzyrebelo I made it! And he loves it. I've been handing out little batches to all my coworkers and theybare blown away! Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

That’s fantastic news. I’m so glad it worked for your husband! That’s why I make these videos . When something so simple and natural works, I want to share it with everyone …just like you are doing. Thanks for sharing this update, it makes me feel good knowing it helped. If you’re interested, check out the propolis salve, it’s like magic at healing wounds. Have a great day.

Hi there. Yes, you can use the organic cayenne ground pepper you have. Just make sure it’s fresh so you get all those beneficial properties. Hope this helps relieve some of those aches and pains. Thanks for watching.

Hi there. Yes, you can buy it in powder form or if you grow your own peppers you can dry and grind it into a powder. Thanks for watching and if you make this , I hope it helps.

I hope you try this and it helps relieve some pain. Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support.

The real lake trout is in my office. It was caught on skeleton lake , muskoka Ontario. 10 lbs The one in the kitchen is a wood carving replica. I love them both. Thanks for watching.

Yes, absolutely.. Especially is you were to accidentally touch your eyes. That’s why it better to use rubber gloves when applying it to afflicted area , then remove gloves and even wash your hands. Unless the pain is in your hands in which case I would rub on hands and wear cotton inexpensive gloves until it’s absorbed into skin and then wash your hands very well , taking care not to touch your face. Think of it as eating hot wings with your hands and then touching your eyes or nose, it would burn and irritate the skin. Hope this helps.

Hi there. Yes, you can use any oil. I just like the sunflower because it has that extra vitamin e and no scent. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for your response Suzy. You have been so helpful

Lighter oils such as sunflower absorb into the skin better and faster, but for a pepper salve the capsaicin is already very good at absorbing through your skin so just use any oil that you enjoy.

That’s a great tip. Thanks for sharing

You’re correct. Yes it does. This is a very useful salve to have on hand. Thanks for watching.

I’ve never tried castor oil for infusions. It’s very thick, I do use it in face wash, creams etc…I really don’t know. It’s also more expensive than sunflower, or olive oils Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Thanks for watching.

Hi there. The third is beeswax. 🐝 thanks for watching. Let me know how you like this.

Yes you can use too much and irritate or burn your skin. I would say apply it once a day and then increase to twice a day depending on how much it helps the pain. Hope this works for you too. Thanks for watching and happy holidays

Not too much- if it burns only

Hi there. You want to use a beeswax. It’s a small amount so even beeswax candle shavings would work. There are other waxes you can use that are made for diy cosmetics too. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

@@suzyrebelo ok. Thanks a lot

Hi there. You need the wax to keep it solid at room temperature. Coconut oil will liquify on a warm day. I hope it helps. Thanks for watching

Hi there I’ve never used mineral oils for herbal infusions and I have read that it’s not recommended. I like to use sunflower oil because it’s odourless colourless but there are other oils you can use such as almond oil, jojoba, oil, olive oil, etc.. Hope this helps thanks for watching.

Yes , you can use the beads for sure. Saves on chopping up the bar. Hope you like this as much as I do. Thanks for watching.

Hello. I soaked the cayenne powder in 1/2 oz of vodka. This enables the cayenne to better infuse into the oil. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching

@@suzyrebelo hi, what is the substitute for vodka ...?

Hi there, you can use another spirit . You need the alcohol to help extract the properties of the herb or spice because we are speeding up the infusion process. Alternatively, you can omit the vodka and use the heating method of infusing..oil and herb in a jar, place in a water bath and warm to no more than 120 F for 4 hours or longer. hope this helps. Thanks for watching

Hi there. Yes, you can substitute with soya wax. I think the ratio is the same 1:1. I read that soya melts slightly lower than beeswax. Melting point around 130 degrees F. So this is even better for combining into the oil without overheating the cayenne oil infusion. Hope this helps. Let me know if your salve has a nice firm texture and is easy to apply Thanks for watching

I’ve never used tallow to make this. I believe it’s safe to use tallow but it becomes a solid state at room temp. So I don’t think it will infuse like oil does. I use the sunflower oil because it has the extra vitamin e in it but others use different oils like olive oil etc. hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Tallow is more used for a cream.

Yes. Also, I’ve watched how they infuse flower petals in tallow to capture its fragrance. That’s on my list of things to try too.

Hi there. The alcohol does two things, it helps preserve the salve and speeds up the infusion process. You can’t substitute with vinegar because it would introduce water into the oil and it would go make the salve go bad. If you don’t want to use alcohol , you can infuse the oil by letting it sit in a dark cupboard for 6-8 weeks. Then you’d make the salve. Or you could use the water heating method ,in a crock pot ,like in the propolis video. Heat no more than 120*f for 4-6 hrs or until the oil turns a dark reddish colour- then make salve by adding beeswax . Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

@@suzyrebelo Thank you for your reply, this was my first time on your channel, take care

@@suzyrebelo Dear Suzy, from grapes one can make vinegar or wine, both has different effect and are liquid. Nothing can live in vinegar which i found to have stronger anti bacteria or anti mold than alcohol. What do you think!

@@rolanour5791 hello there. Homemade vinegars have lots of good bacteria and are good for gut health. While you can pickle and preserve food with vinegar , you can't combine it with fats or oils. It will make your salve or cream or anything containing fat moldy. Thats why you can only use dry plant matter when infusing oils. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for tuning into my channel!

Alright i take it, you must be experienced. I'll check your videos asap. Thank you 😊

Hello. You won’t find heat as in warming up like commercial muscle rubs. The heat is in the cayenne pepper properties. Some find a tingling sensation on the skin but it depends on your sensitivity. I hope you continue to use it and monitor if it gives you some pain relief. I’m hoping it does. Thanks for sharing and watching.

I experienced this as well, I was actually hoping for a heating effect. I wonder if there's anything else that can be used to cause a heating effect, aside from menthol, I don't really enjoying the cooling effect.

Hi there, I have used this salve and then applied a heating pad for that deeper heat sensation. In some instances, it really helped with the aching or sore feeling. just a thought. hope this helps

Good day. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Spanish. I speak Portuguese , very elementary , enough to carry on a conversation with family but not enough to read and write. I hope the recipe attached to the video and my demonstration is enough to show you how to make this. I’m not experienced enough to translate the videos into other languages. I thank you for watching. I appreciate your support.

Yes. This recipe is for cayenne peppers because of their heat correlates to the amount of capsicum in the peppers. Thanks for watching and sharing.

You’re right. It’s cayenne peppers that have higher amounts of Capsicum than other peppers in the chilli pepper family. This makes the salve more effective. Thanks for sharing and watching this video.

I know mumble mumble. But the salve is really good and has been helpful to many people that have used it. I hope it helps you too. Thanks for watching.

Oh my goodness. That’s funny. We want to relieve pain not increase it. Ha ha. All kidding aside, this salve really has helped a lot of people with some form of pain relief. Thanks for watching

@@suzyrebelo yep it actually helped. I plan on doing the recipe properly just need the beeswax.

That’s great. I’m so glad you found it helpful.

Thanks for watching hope this helps.

I guess I’m pronouncing it like the British do. Thanks for watching and I hope the salve helps.

Why are you calling here out on a word? Who cares how one pronounces a word. We come from all walks of life. She made a great informative video.

The cayenne pepper is a type of Capsicum annuum. It is usually a moderately hot chili pepper used to flavor dishes. Cayenne peppers are a group of tapering, 10 to 25 cm long, generally skinny, mostly red-colored peppers, often with a curved tip and somewhat rippled skin, which hang from the bush as opposed to growing upright. Most varieties are generally rated at 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units.[1] reference wikipedia Thanks for watching
