    Sure, but to get the proper effect one must put at least
    1/4 cup in each sock... Tell me how it works out for you.

    If your feet are cold, wouldn't a pair of warm socks be better? Cayenne pepper could burn the skin
    so badly as to cause blisters ! That is not a good way to keep your feet warm, and the resulting
    infections, which could develop with poor circulation, may very well lead to amputation !!

    Improving your health, and subsequently your circulation, would probably be a bigger help. Talk with
    your doctor about meds to reduce cholesterol & triglycerides to improve blood circulation. Even an
    aspirin a day will help.

  7. yeah.. but your toes get the sneezes..

    But they are used for neuropathy

    Topical capsaicin. A review of its pharmacological properties and therapeutic potential in post-
    herpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy and osteoarthritis.

    Rains C, Bryson HM.

    Adis International Ltd. Auckland, New Zealand.

    Capsaicin, the active principle of hot chili pepper, is thought to selectively stimulate
    unmyelinated C fibre afferent neurons and cause the release of substance P. Prolonged application of
    capsaicin reversibly depletes stores of substance P, and possibly other neurotransmitters, from
    sensory nerve endings. This reduces or abolishes the transmission of painful stimuli from the
    peripheral nerve fibres to the higher centres. In clinical studies of patients with post-hepatic
    neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy or osteoarthritis, adjunctive therapy with topical capsaicin achieved
    better relief than its vehicle in most studies. In a single trial, topical capsaicin in demonstrated
    similar efficacy to oral amitriptyline in patients with diabetic neuropathy. Topical capsaicin is
    not associated with any severe systemic adverse effects. However, stinging and burning, particularly
    during the first week of therapy, is reported by many patients. Topical capsaicin merits
    consideration as adjuvant therapy in conditions such as post-herpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy
    and osteoarthritis, where the pain can be chronic and difficult to treat.
