- Perform a Patch Test: Before widespread use, apply a small amount to a test patch of skin to check for any extreme reaction or sensitivity.
- Application: (a little goes a long way), massage the balm gently but thoroughly into the sore muscles and joints until absorbed.
- Frequency: Apply the balm up to four times daily.
- Consistency is Key: For chronic pain conditions like arthritis, daily, consistent use is necessary. It may take anywhere from a few days to two weeks of regular application before you experience significant pain relief.
- Targeting Hand Pain: If applying to arthritic hands, consider applying the balm at night and then wearing cotton gloves to enhance penetration and prevent accidental contact with sensitive areas.
- Storage: Store the balm in a cool, dark place, such as the refrigerator, and use it within a few months for the best results, as homemade products have a shorter shelf life than commercial ones.
- External Use Only: The balm is strictly for external use on the skin and should never be ingested.
- Avoid Sensitive Areas: Never apply the balm to the face, eyes, open cuts, wounds, broken skin, or other sensitive areas/mucous membranes, as the cayenne can cause a burning sensation.
- Wash Hands Thoroughly: Wash your hands immediately and thoroughly with hot, soapy water after each application. Using disposable gloves during application can help ensure safety.
- Do Not Use with Heat: Avoid using a heating pad on the treated area, as this can intensify any sensation.
- Sun Sensitivity: Capsaicin, an ingredient in cayenne, can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Apply sunscreen over exposed, treated skin when outdoors.
- Staining: The turmeric in the balm can stain clothing and other fabrics.

Consult a Healthcare Provider:
- Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or on blood-thinning medications.
- If your condition worsens, you experience severe pain, swelling, or blistering, or do not see improvement, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
- Keep Out of Reach: Store the balm in a secure location away from children and pets.
