PROPERTIES:
- As a homeopathic remedy, capsaicin may help treat ear infections (otitis media).
- Some evidence suggests capsaicin may help treat heartburn, but several people in the study stopped taking capsaicin because of abdominal discomfort.
- Capsaicin is being investigated for treating circulatory problems (for example, heart disease from atherosclerosis or plaque blocking the arteries to the heart) and reducing risk of an irregular heart rhythm.
Psoriasis
Capsaicin cream can reduce itching and inflammation associated with psoriasis (a chronic skin disease that generally appears as patches of raised red skin covered by a flaky white buildup).
Weight loss
Some animal and human studies show that taking capsaicin orally may increase the body's production of heat for a short time. It may also help to regulate blood sugar levels by affecting the breakdown of carbohydrates after a meal. Based on these studies, capsaicin is being investigated to see if it would be useful in treating obesity. These studies, however, are still ongoing.
