Capsicum Plaster consists of a suitable cloth of cotton or rayon or both mixed, evenly spread with self adhesive mass containing Capsicum Oleoresin. The plaster is performed evenly & the adhesive surface is protected with silicone paper.What is the working theory of capsicum plaster? Scientists at Harvard Medical School have developed a new anaesthetic that uses capsaicin – the active ingredient in chili peppers that makes them spicy – in combination with another chemical, to block pain without affecting touch or movement. In other words, this may eventually hold the possibility of being able to block pain without numbing or paralyzing the affected area.
The interesting thing is that over 100 years ago, capsaicin was being used as a medication to…block pain. In fact, Johnson & Johnson manufactured and sold a medicated plaster called a Capsicum Plaster with exactly this active ingredient. Capsicum Plasters were used for topical pain relief, and were placed directly over the area of the body that was hurting.
Capsicum plasters were made rubber compound that was infused with a medication and rolled into flat pieces. One side of the plaster would have an adhesive so that it could stick to the skin and deliver the medication directly to or over the affected area of the body. They were one of the most popular 19th century medical products, and plasters are still made today in some areas of the world, such as China..
How to use capsicum plaster? Wash the skin with soap and water and dry it well. Remove the covering material from the adhesive side of the plaster. Place the plaster on the aching spot and press it to the skin until it sticks. After use, remove the plaster by taking it at one corner and tear it off. If there are any pieces of plaster remaining, they can be removed easily by rubbing the spot with alcohol and spirit. The plaster should be worn for 12hours. In extreme cases, a second one may be replaced.
