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.
