How do you make a home made numbing cream?

Here are a few homemade numbing cream recipes that can offer temporary pain relief:

1. Ice Pack and Essential Oils:

- Fill a Ziploc bag with ice cubes.

- Blend together 10 drops of peppermint oil and 10 drops of lavender oil in a small dish.

2. Cayenne and Coconut Oil Cream:

- Mix together equal parts of cayenne powder and organic coconut oil.

- Apply a small amount of the mixture to the affected area and cover with a bandage.

- Leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off.

(Cayenne contains capsaicin, a known pain-relieving compound, but should be used cautiously on sensitive skin)

3. Clove Oil and Witch Hazel:

- Blend 10 drops of clove oil and 1 ounce of witch hazel in a glass bottle.

- Shake well before applying a few drops to the painful area.

- Apply the paste to the affected skin and cover with a bandage.

- Leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off.

5. Mustard and Honey:

- Mix together 2 tablespoons of mustard powder, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 tablespoons of water to form a paste.

- Spread the paste over the sore spot and cover with a bandage.

(Honey has antibacterial and antioxidant properties)

6. Ginger and Turmeric Paste:

- Grate fresh ginger and turmeric root in equal amounts.

- Add a few drops of warm water to form a paste.

- Apply the paste directly to the painful spot and secure with a bandage.

Precautions:

- Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying a homemade numbing cream to a larger area.

- Avoid using on broken or irritated skin.

- Consult with a healthcare professional before using any numbing cream if you have certain health conditions or are pregnant.

- If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor.

- These homemade numbing creams provide temporary relief and are not substitutes for medical treatment. In case of persistent or severe pain, it's advisable to consult with a medical professional.
