Turmeric
Turmeric has been used for centuries for wound healing. The active compound in turmeric that gives it its bright yellow color is curcumin, which has been extensively studied.
Curcumin reduces inflammation and acts on various stages of the natural wound healing process by promoting collagen formation and wound contraction. Turmeric induces programmed cell death, or apoptosis, to kill off damaged cells and make way for new cells. It also has antimicrobial and antioxidant effects to shorten healing time.
Clove
The clove tree has been used since the 13th century for many ailments including toothaches and joint pains. Cloves' analgesic activity is due to eugenol, its main active compound. Eugenol has anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and is a natural anesthetic found to be as effective as benzocaine gels in lowering pain.
Ginger
Ginger is one of the world's most popular herbs, and has countless scientific studies to support its health benefits. It has been used for thousands of years for digestive issues, motion sickness, morning sickness, arthritis pain, and other ailments. Ginger also acts on pain receptors in the body, and when used with other ingredients in Zinbi's proprietary blend, has additive and synergistic effects against pain.
Cayenne
Cayenne is a popular spice that contains the active compound capsaicin that packs the herb with heat. This compound is also responsible for the many medicinal benefits of cayenne. Numerous studies conducted on capsaicin have led to the discovery of the pain receptor called TRPV1, located on key fine sensory nerve endings.
Capsaicin application to skin or mucous membranes will initially produce a burn, but due to a phenomenon called desensitization, the burn (along with pain signals) cease to be transmitted after prolonged exposure of capsaicin to the site of pain.
