A composition containing capsaicin together with another ingredient to neutralize the discomfort resulting from the application of capsaicin to the skin can be used to treat many types of discomforts, including arthritis pain, hemorrhoid pain and itching, and poison ivy itching, without the discomfort normally associated with the topical application of capsaicin.

Pain reliever and method of use

A method for treating poison ivy and similar poison plant induced rashes utilizes a sealed pouch containing a mixture of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-oxidant property ingredients. The pouch is placed in a container filled with boiling water. The ingredients in the pouch permeate through the water. A metal applicator has a spoon-shaped section with a curved lower surface and a handle. The spoon-shaped section is inserted into the boiled herbal water mixture. The bottom surface of the curved lower surface of the spoon-shaped section is then momentarily placed on the pustule or red bump of the poison ivy. The applicator is then lifted up away from the area. Usually two or three touches with the applicator on the effected area will completely remove the itching and the itching and pustule will be entirely eliminated within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
