Show notes

Dr. G explores how capsaicin, the active compound in chili peppers, can reduce burning neuropathic pain by overactivating and desensitizing pain-sensing nerves. The episode explains that capsaicin is not a cure for diabetic neuropathy or a treatment for ulcers, notes differences between low‑dose creams and the 8% prescription patch, and highlights safety precautions (apply only to intact skin, avoid eyes/mucous membranes, and have trained clinicians administer high‑dose patches).
