My husband rubbed in the capsaicin cream quickly on the area that needed it, and it started burning, so I asked him to hurry and put on peppermint essential oil. Only a few drops of the peppermint oil "put out the fire"! We wanted to use both, because the peppermint oil is very calming and cooling, and the capsaicin helps heal. My problem was PHN pain after a bout of shingles.

What should you take to get relief from hot peppers?

Do DairyMilk, yogurt, and sour cream are acidic, which helps to combat the burning. The milk protein called casein acts as a natural detergent, breaking up the capsaicin. Many dairy products also contain fat which can help to dissolve the capsaicin. To get the most benefit from dairy, go for an acidic product that contains fat. In other words, sour cream or ice cream will help you more than skim milk. Add CarbohydratesIf you eat your hot peppers with bread, rice, tortillas or any other starchy carbohydrate you'll lessen the burning from the peppers. This works by providing a physical barrier between your mouth and some of the capsaicin so less of it contacts your tongue, lips, etc. The sugars in the carbohydrates may also help lessen the activity of the capsaicinoids.
