Glad you finally tried it, Elaine. Even happier that it helped.
Skeptics should give it a really sincere try...maybe two or three times if it takes that before it works.
It is one of the regular treatments some of us use a lot just because it works so well.
I think it is a great idea to use hand cream or any other softening cream on the side of your face and forehead. I was instructed to use it along the nose, forehead and temple area on the side of the pain.
The recommendation is to apply it inside the nostril as well. That's where it is the most effective and that's why I use the vasoline or a vitamin 'E' lotion mixed with it.
Also, you mentioned earlier that certain pain meds wreck the libido or what ever that thing is called...That's another reason I got off of the pharmaceuticals. Nearly all of those I've tried produce side effects like that.
But, with the Cayenne Pepper...Wow! Good things can happen if you are berry berry creative ;)
